Altair has released Altair HyperWorks 2024, a platform for design and simulation. The latest release offers advancements in artificial intelligence (AI)-powered engineering and business, mechanical and electronics systems design, and simulation-driven design and optimization.
“Altair HyperWorks 2024 is the only platform offering a unified, modern user experience across any geometry, physics, and complexity and at every stage of the product development life cycle from design to in-service,” says James R. Scapa, founder and chief executive officer, Altair. “With AI-embedded workflows, game-changing photorealistic graphics, 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 being built.”
AI-Powered Engineering and Business
Providing the data backbone essential for AI enterprises, Altair HyperWorks 2024 incorporates AI across every step of the product life cycle. Embedded AI in design and simulation tools accelerates exploration, while engineer-friendly, high-performance computing-fueled workflows augment the human-AI relationship. Altair HyperWorks 2024 enhances processes from design to in-service operations, giving users the ability to:
- Accelerate design exploration and iteration with generative design capabilities in Altair HyperMesh.
- Conduct thermal analysis in Altair SimLab through “what-if' studies using real-world data from Altair physicsAI models to make design of experiments (DOE) more efficient.
- Rapidly predict behavior with generative design in Altair Inspire to maximize efficiency in design and manufacturing while ensuring performance.
- Engineers can train physicsAI models with a single click on Altair Drive using the scalable HPC and cloud resources of Altair One.
User Experience
With support for Python and C++, Altair HyperWorks ensures integration with more than 250 CAD systems, solvers, and file formats.
Altair integrates digital twins and digital threads to create a digital engineering ecosystem. The latest updates to Altair Twin Activate enhance models’ accuracy and include customization and integration improvements.
Additionally, Altair Material Data Center offers more than 72,000 high-fidelity, CAE-ready material datasets.
Mechanical and Electronic System Design
Altair HyperWorks 2024 focuses on elevating design fidelity and streamlining engineering workflows. It includes:
- Enhanced productivity with Python API in HyperMesh
- Through the Ultra Librarian integration, users get faster, more accurate 3D printed circuit board (PCB) modeling.
- Meshless ECAD simulation with Altair SimSolid, transforming mechanical and electronics systems into smart, connected realities, from requirements to embedded systems, with new solver capabilities for multi-disciplinary electronics.
Simulation-Driven Design and Optimization
Starting with a sketch, users can build or edit geometries with parametric B-Rep solids, polyNURBS, facets, and implicit modeling. It features analysis tools for structural, fluid dynamics, and motion studies, complemented by designer-friendly computational physics for analysis across various manufacturing processes. Inspire also integrates powerful technologies like generative design, meshless simulation, and physicsAI for rapid behavior prediction.
