Altair a global technology company providing software and cloud solutions in simulation, high-performance computing (HPC), and artificial intelligence (AI) has announced updated solver technologies and enhanced user experiences with the release of its 2021 simulation software update.
Altair's new electronic system design toolset enables engineers developing smart, connected devices to collaborate on all aspects of physical, logical, thermal, electrical, and mechanical design. This the company says accelerates a variety of applications, from more efficient printed circuit board (PCB) design review, verification, analysis, and manufacture to the design of motors, sensors, and actuators with simulation. Notable updates include:
Altair's ability to solve the most complex problems has expanded while delivering improved performance on graphics processing unit (GPU) and central processing unit (CPU) hardware on desktops, private, public, and hybrid-cloud environments. This faster, more accurate simulation of real-world product performance is addressed through these updates:
Altair pioneered SDfM, bringing manufacturing simulation into the earliest stages of concept design with fast, accurate solvers and intuitive interfaces. The expanding functionality of Altair's SDfM offering now spans casting, stamping, moulding, extrusion, additive, and foaming. Additionally, Altair simulation solutions are increasingly used in process manufacturing during research, development, and process improvement in industries that produce bulk quantities of goods, including pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, and chemicals.
Inspire Mold is rapidly becoming the industry benchmark for injection moulding simulation in the early stages of product design.
Inspire PolyFoam simulates the moulding of foam components and rigid foam panels with polyurethane foams used in a wide range of industrial and household applications.
These updates will help customers across a broad range of industries – from automotive and aerospace to energy, healthcare, and high tech – solve complex problems as they advance the development of their smart, connected products by leveraging 5G, electromagnetics, and the Internet of Things.
James Scapa, founder and CEO, Altair said: "In addition to accelerated simulation of real-world product performance and expanded simulation-driven design for manufacturing functionality, this release brings a robust end-to-end electronic system design toolset to our customers. The latest updates to our simulation solutions enable customers to develop complex products more profitably by simulating 5G connectivity, electronic board-level performance, modern manufacturing processes and more."
