Key to Simulation Driven Innovation

Altair brought optimization to structural engineers in the 1990s with the first

release of OptiStruct. Today, through solidThinking Inspire, Altair delivers

topology optimization to the designer’s desktop

Modeling and Assembly

Meshing matters: HyperMesh provides unmatched openess and interoperability,

while SimLab’s feature-based modeling approach automates the meshing

process for even the most complex assemblies.


Results Visualization & Reporting

Analyze, understand and publish your simulation results with HyperView and

HyperGraph, HyperWorks’ best-in-class post-processing and visualization

environment for CAE and test data.


Streamlining Model Build

• Bi-directional Integration to/from PDM and Material Database

• Data Persistency throughout Model Build

• Automated BatchMeshing and Connection Management

Compute Innovation leads to Accelerated Insights

Altair and Intel working together on RADIOSS/HPC for impact simulation:

10x performance improvement1 from Intel® Xeon® 5100 to Intel Xeon E5 v2

1: Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark and MobileMark, are measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations and functions. Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating your contemplated purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products..
