Learn about the advantages and broad application
Simcenter / HyperWorks platform
Altair HyperWorks software tools, now called as Simcenter provide a flexible solution for modeling, analysis, optimization, visualization, and automation of processes in the area of structural mechanics, multi-body simulation, or manufacturing process simulation. The individual HyperWorks tools can be effectively included in the CAE process from CAD data processing through advanced networking methods up to linear and non-linear calculations and stochastic studies.
The primary tool is Simcenter Hypermesh, which serves as an environment for creating computational models, interacting with solvers, and evaluating simulation results.
Design Explorer
Learn about Design Explorer, which is a part of the new generation of Hypermesh. It integrates functionality known from Hyperstudy to the Hypermesh interface. It facilitates and, thanks to AI / ML, speeds up workflows for multi-run tasks. Typically, they are optimization and DOE studies (parametric studies, sensitivity analyses) with the goal to tune the design solution to meet multi-criteria requirements.
Solution for Multi-physics Analysis and Optimization
A wide range of solvers and computational methods predestinate Simcenter / HyperWorks for multi-physical analysis and multi-criteria optimization of design solutions.
Here is an example of an electric motor design optimization.
Integrated solution for complete multi-physics product design
The complete design of the most suitable shape solution from the point of view of ergonomics, industrial design, performance, mechanical resistance, manufacturability, or multi-physical effects can be solved in a uniform, user-friendly interface of the Simlab and Inspire tools.
Here is an example of medical injector design optimization.
What is Simcenter / HyperWorks software used for?
- Analysis and optimization
Simcenter Optistruct, Radioss, Motionsolve, Hyperlife, and SimSolid are designed for structural analysis of structures and advanced product optimization. Discover the most stressed areas in products and find out how to optimize, strengthen, and improve the product. When developing the product, use also a multi-physics approach and analyze your product from the point of view of thermal stress and fluid flow (Acusolve, Nanofluid, Ultrafluid) or interaction with bulk materials (EDEM), from the point of view of electromagnetism (Flux, Feko) or electronic PCB design (Pollex). At the top, benefit from the highest level of simulation – multicriteria and multi-physical studies and optimization with the help of Hyperstudy and special tools using artificial intelligence – ShapeAI, RomAI, and others. This AI/ML approach is called AI-Powered Engineering. - Modeling and visualization
3D modeling and preparation of finite-element mesh and solver-decks are carried out using the preprocessing software, or tools for the preparation of finite-element and multi-body models for subsequent calculation. Pre-processing is covered by Hypermesh, Hypermesh Crash, Motionview, and Simlab. Post-processing tools Hyperview, Hypergraph 2D/3D, or Hyperstudy are suitable for analyzing the calculation results, data visualization, and easy interpretation thereof. - Simulation-driven Design
Simcenter Simsolid software and Simcenter Inspire product family are used for simulation processes as part of conceptual product development. The Simulation-driven Design concept enables engineers to design the optimal shape of components directly according to load requirements, perform very fast analysis of different solution variants, make quick decisions, and find the optimal solutions. - Cloud and HPC solutions supported
Altair makes it possible to use software tools based on on-premise IT infrastructure as well as through cloud service. Use the hardware appliance HPCWorks Unlimited or the technologies of High-performance Computing in a cloud environment for modeling and calculations of the HPCWorks PBS Professional technology (optimal planning of tasks and utilization of IT resources). - Altair Partner Alliance included
In addition to Altair tools, it is also possible to use third-party software within the Altair Partner Alliance licensing program. For example, we offer fluid dynamics analysis software (CFD), EM field simulation, fatigue, and structural life calculations, and a range of industry-specific tools. By using the comprehensive package of programs within the flexible Altair licensing system, the user significantly saves costs in the CAE process.
