Altair HyperWorks - Automotive Crash and Safety Workflow

Altair HyperWorks' Design Explorer is an end-to-end workflow for real time performance prediction and evaluation.

Results port-processing in Altair HyperWorks includes the abiility to automatically identify and tag hotspots on contoured results. Users can easily customize their search paramenters, browse through results and query individual hotspots.

Altair HyperWorks post-processing capabilities include automated report generation. In very few clicks users can generate comprehensive reports of their analyses and export them to either an html summary or an MS PowerPoint slide deck.

Altair’s Noise Vibration and Harshness Director is the most advanced full vehicle assembly building framework on the market. It enables the implementation of global NVH best practices while covering the entire NVH workflow from model setup, assembly management to postprocessing.

Altair’s Squeak and Rattle Director (SnRD) enables expert and novice computer aided engineering (CAE) engineers to rapidly identify and eliminate squeak and rattle in products at an early design stage. By utilizing a novel set of tools and methods in a streamlined, semi-automated process that is fully integrated in the Altair HyperWorks™ environment, SnRD simplifies otherwise complex and time-consuming tasks.

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. Whether big or small, our customers trust their decision making to Altair, the pioneer of simulation-driven design.

Altair HyperWorks introduces a new workflow for beam modeling, particularly suited for GFEM of large aerospace structures along with many other applications.

A new CFD setup workflow has been introduced in the latest release of Altair HyperWorks. Preparing any geometry for CFD analysis is now handled through a semi-automated, extremely efficient workflow.

Altair HyperWorks includes a new workflow to easily generate the design space for topology optimization and generate a smooth results interpretation with PolyNURBS. The use case demonstrated here shows a complete redesign of an engine cradle utilizing additive manufacturing.

Altair HyperWorks has been reimagined with new efficient workflows for the most common daily tasks a simulation engineer needs to address. In this short clip comparing the classic HyperMesh workflow for geometry creation with the new HyperWorks process to generate a bracket, we're completing the task in 44% less time and almost 60% less mouse clicks.

Altair HyperWorks introduces new and efficient workflows to build and manage complex assemblies. In this example, we're starting from the complete BOM of a vehicle's body-in-white, showing how to manage individual parts and subsystems to generate an high-fidelity mesh in a few clicks.

A beam example of how the new Altair HyperWorks workflows allow to quickly extract midsurfaces, generate a mesh and apply morphing.

This brief demo shows the easy accessibility to morphing in Altair HyperWorks. Different examples are shown to explain, how to take advantage of Altair's morphing technology.

Altair HyperWorks introduces a very intuitive and powerful workflow to quickly generate design and non-design space for optimization runs. It also provides a library for automotive related non-design spaces, such as engine, seats, engine, sunroofs, and wheel arches. The results can be quickly altered with manipulators.

Based on the example of a floor panel, this video shows how easy it is to generate new geometries and meshes in Altair HyperWorks. Some adjustments to the mesh are done with the morphing functionality. These mesh geometry changes are saved as shape, e.g. to use it for a subsequent optimization.
