Altair Focuses Conference on New Simulation Methods

Altair has stated that this year’s Americas Altair Technology Conference (ATC) will focus on simulation techniques for vehicle design. The three-day conference will cover composites, optimizing designs for additive manufacturing and lightweighting vehicles. The event is held in Dearborn, MI, from May 5-7.

The presentations and research papers, the company states, respond to emerging trends and capabilities in manufacturing and computer simulation. Some of the presentation topics are:

• Structural Component Design Optimization for Additive Manufacture
• Cutting-Edge Optimization Methods for the Aerospace Industry
• Forming Simulation of Woven Composite Fibers and Its Influence on Crash Performance
• Pedestrian-Impact Simulation Process with HyperWorks

“Discussion emerging from the great span of topics offered at the ATC makes this premier conference exceptionally valuable to designers and engineers,” said James Scapa, chairman and CEO, Altair. “The conference provides solutions for those who are attempting to manage innovation challenges in the fields of transportation, aerospace, architecture, electronics, scientific research and many other fields where simulation-driven design, data analysis and optimization are critical. Our goal for the ATC conference series is to support the professional engineering community discover news ways to overcome conventional barriers to design and manufacturing leveraging simulation to create stronger and lighter products that can be manufactured in new ways.”
