Altair for HPC and Cloud Applications

In 2021, Altair sponsored an SME audience survey to learn more about the adoption of engineering simulation and digital twin initiatives within the field of industrial manufacturing. This poll of 124 manufacturing professionals produced some interesting findings about how companies currently use simulation as well as what the biggest roadblocks are in the way of future technology adoption, including the use of digital twins.

Altair provides an industry-leading portfolio of multiphysics-enabled software to simulate a wide range of interacting physical models including fluid-structure interaction (FSI), flexible bodies, aeroacoustics, and thermomechanical simulation.

Altair offers industry-leading engineering analysis and optimization tools from simulation-driven design concepts to detailed virtual product validation, and simplified modeling workflows to advanced high-fidelity model building.

Take home a modern nonlinear solver and state-of-the-art compute cluster to start revolutionizing your engineering decision-making on day one. Make agile design decisions, boost throughput, and reduce time-to-market by combining the modern nonlinear solver capabilities of OptiStruct with Altair’s Unlimited appliance.

Corporate software license costs are a significant slice of IT and department budgets. Altair SAO Predict is an add-on that augments the Altair SAO software asset optimization solution — and it lets you get license costs under control by systematically collecting, visualizing, analyzing, and optimizing your software license inventories.

License administrators, engineering managers, and business analysts need advanced reporting and analytics to support data-driven planning and decision-making. With Altair SAO, you get an easy-to-use data collection, analysis, and visualization solution.
