Al­tair ozná­mil vy­dá­ní Al­tair Hy­per­Works 2024, the leading design and simulation platform on the market. The latest version brings significant advances in AI-based engineering and business, mechanical and electronic systems design, and simulation-driven design and optimization. Altair HyperWorks 2024 is the only platform that offers a unified and modern user experience for any geometry, physics and complexity and at every stage of the product development life cycle from design to commissioning.

With AI-integrated workflows, photo-realistic graphics that transform usability, and a unified back-end data system, Altair HyperWorks is the foundation upon which many of the world’s most innovative digital engineering practices are built.

Engineering and business supported by artificial intelligence

Providing the data backbone necessary for AI enterprises, Altair HyperWorks 2024 unleashes AI at all stages of the product lifecycle. Seamlessly embedding AI into design and simulation tools accelerates exploration, while engineer-friendly, HPC-enabled workflows expand the human-AI relationship. Altair HyperWorks 2024 deepens these capabilities and improves processes from design to live operation, giving users the ability to:

  • Accelerate design exploration and iteration with generative design capabilities in Altair HyperMesh.
  • Effortlessly perform thermal analysis in Altair SimLab through what-if studies using real-world data from Altair PhysicsAI models to streamline Design of Experiments (DOE).
  • Quickly predict behavior using generative design in Altair Inspire to maximize design and manufacturing efficiency and ensure peak performance.
  • A greater focus on innovation, benefiting from significantly shorter training times and expanded capabilities supported by artificial intelligence. Engineers can train physical-analytical models with a single click in Altair Drive, leveraging Altair One’s scalable HPC and cloud resources. This removes infrastructural barriers and accelerates design exploration due to advances in AI availability.

The ultimate user experience for engineers

Altair HyperWorks 2024 brings a paradigm shift in engineering. Through a modern AI-enabled environment, productivity increases with intuitive workflows, efficient design environments, photorealistic graphics for better visualization that are disruptive, and a unified back-end data model. With support for Python and C++, Altair HyperWorks provides seamless integration with more than 250 CAD systems, solvers and file formats, removing barriers to interoperability while giving engineers extensive scripting capabilities to customize the platform and automate repetitive tasks.

One source of truth: digital engineering

Altair integrates digital twins and digital threads to create a digital engineering ecosystem that provides a single source of truth and ensures engineers have access to the most accurate data and real-time models. The latest updates to Altair Twin Activate increase model accuracy and clarity, and include improvements in customization and integration that accelerate the transition from concept to reality.

In addition, the Altair Material Data Center enhances the design process by offering more than 72,000 high-fidelity CAE-ready material data sets, enabling the exploration of alternative materials throughout the product development lifecycle with a single traceable digital thread.

Design of mechanical and electronic systems

Altair HyperWorks 2024 focuses on increasing design fidelity and streamlining engineering workflows with robust integration and automation capabilities. Includes:

  • Improved productivity with HyperMesh’s Python API, which allows engineers to automate routine tasks, customize the CAE environment with custom plug-ins, integrate with other tools, and access an extensive support network through the Python community.
  • Accelerated and perfect design of electronic systems from the very beginning thanks to SimLab. Thanks to the integration with the Ultra Librarian library, users get faster and more accurate 3D printed circuit board (PCB) modeling. Users can predict and increase the life of printed circuit boards with fatigue life simulations, analyze electric motors with advanced multiphysics analysis, and simulate different materials to understand fluid flow dynamics.
  • Meshless ECAD simulation with Altair SimSolid that transforms mechanical and electronic systems into an intelligent, connected reality, from requirements to embedded systems, with new solver capabilities for multi-disciplinary electronics. It enables users to seamlessly transition from ECAD to simulation and optimizes the analysis of complex printed circuit board and integrated circuit (IC) models without the need for traditional meshing or design simplification.

Design and optimization using simulations

As the most comprehensive simulation-driven design solution for design, performance analysis and manufacturability, Inspire reinforces its market leadership position. Users can start with a sketch and create or modify geometries using B-Rep parametric solids, polyNURBS, facets, and implicit modeling. It contains analytical tools for the study of structure, fluid dynamics and motion, complemented by designer-friendly computational physics for detailed analysis in various manufacturing processes. Inspire also integrates powerful technologies such as generative design, meshless simulation and physicsAI for rapid behavior prediction, maximizing design and manufacturing efficiency while ensuring peak performance.
