Simulation-Driven Design and Associated Altair Solutions

Indradev Babu, Managing Director, UCAM PVT LTD, explains how he developed a CNC Jobshop to the largest manufacturer of CNC Rotary tables—presenting different development examples, he explains how Simulation Driven Design helps him to differentiate and what simulation Strategies he implements in the customer-centric development for the following generation Machine Tools at UCAM.

Multiphysics Optimization of Traction Motors For E-mobility Vincent Leconte, Sr. Director, Global Business Development-EM Solutions, Altair

Presentation by Dr. Royston Jones, Executive VP, European Operations & Global CTO at Altair. As products increase in complexity, design becomes more multi-disciplinary and the requirement to efficiently deploy Multi-Disciplinary Optimization (MDO) becomes a significant design differentiator. Increasingly, industry is successfully performing MDO studies to achieve optimized balanced design allowing trade-offs between mass, performance and even cost. In order to impact the product development process, MDO results must deliver to project timescales and in order to achieve this, a number of challenges need to be overcome. Typical challenges consist of efficiently performing MDO pre- and post-processing and solution activities. To meet these challenges, Altair has utilized its expertise in model management, large dataflow, job submittal, optimization and visualization, leveraging HyperWorks technologies to create a vertically integrated end-to-end process software tool.

CAE has since long been established as the tool for validating and certifying mechanical properties during product development. Simulation-driven design takes simulation and optimization into the creative design process. Primary goal of simulation-driven design is to provide a continuous stream of decision data to support concept design and later product development stages.
