Simulation-Driven Design
Despite FEM software being commercially available for half a century, the key bottleneck in development is still the transformation of a CAD design into a simulation model!
Our unique technology enables designers and engineers to integrate simulation into the design process, informing the direction from the beginning and achieving performance targets quickly. Altair SimSolid revolutionizes simulation for designers, engineers, and analysts by eliminating time-consuming tasks like geometry preparation and meshing. Altair Inspire accelerates simulation-driven design, reducing time-to-market and enabling the creation of high-performance designs. Altair's simulation-driven design offers a smarter approach to electronics product development, delivering innovation at lower cost.

Fighting Fire with Innovation
Austria's SYNEX TECH GmbH, a special machinery firm, collaborated with M&H CNC Technik to create DRILL-X, the world's first fire extinguishing device merging drilling and extinguishing. Using Altair® Inspire™, they optimized design and manufacturing, employing additive manufacturing for efficient production. Altair technology streamlined prototype and series production, cutting development and additive manufacturing costs by minimizing material usage, print times, and post-processing effort.
Simulation Under High Pressure
By acting flexibly and driving innovation, mechanical engineering has taken up the challenges of recent times. In this context, often the startups enrich the sector with innovative ideas and leverage digitization for their revolutionary machine designs. ATNA Industrial Solutions GmbH has accelerated the design and development process of its novel hydraulic press with the help of a new simulation tool, thus achieving its ambitious development goals.
Samsung SDI Improves PCB Development
Samsung SDI faced challenges transitioning to the electronic materials business, requiring a new approach to PCB designs and manufacturing. They evaluated Altair PollEx for centrally managed PCB design review and verification, streamlining the process and saving an estimated $6 million annually. PollEx is also used to detect manufacturing faults and electrical failures, with future plans for signal, power, and thermal analysis using PollEx Solvers.
AI-Powered Engineering

Digital Twins - Overcome Industry Bottlenecks in Product Development
Model Building Process
Altair's digital twin solutions and technology like romAI enable the industry to build digital behavior models faster and:
- Run models faster
- Avoid co-simulation to capture high-fidelity behavior
- Accelerate system models by 1,000x while maintaining accuracy
The following examples will be presented: Danecca; Gruppo Cimbali; Patrone and Mongiello; Leonardo
Pattern identification and optimization
Based on the result fields of many simulated design variants, a group with uniform behavioral patterns is created using unsupervised learning, a machine learning approach. This allows hundreds of simulations to be processed intuitively. The example of megacasting impressively demonstrates the advantage AI over traditional methods.
Setting Sail with Digital Twins
The America’s Cup is the oldest and most respected sailing competition worldwide, first held in 1851. Team Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli, who has participated in five prior AC competitions, will be competing in the 37th America’s Cup in Barcelona from August to October 2024. They have experience with Altair solutions, using the full spectrum of Altair’s technologies in the upcoming AC37 to ensure the best results, with a strong focus on structural simulation and HPC.

AI on the Factory Floor
Today, most companies want to invest in data analytics and AI, but recent data shows that only 13% of all companies excel at delivering on their data strategy. The reasons for this vary from company to company. To learn more, check out the linked report above.
With Altair’s data analytics solutions, you can scale AI initiatives without requiring a big team of data scientists or expensive service engagements. Upskill your workforce so users from novice and expert users alike can leverage the data and analytics tools needed to provide data-driven insights.
Enhance Supply Chain Management
Inefficiencies, delays, and higher costs are just some of the challenges the manufacturing supply chain faces today. Altair understands these challenges and provides comprehensive supply chain management solutions to optimize sourcing, inventory, and logistics. Our tools, including supplier collaboration, demand planning, and logistics optimization, help customers enhance efficiency and cost savings.
With Altair’s data analytics and supply chain optimization expertise, manufacturers can master variable demand and streamline their operations, ensuring they can deliver high-quality products to their customers on time and within budget.
Plan Maintenance and Prevent Equipment Failure
Conducting preventative maintenance, according to use time and cycles, helps all industries avoid equipment failure. But it can also mean stopping a well-functioning machine even if there’s nothing currently wrong. Predictive maintenance is a better way an organization can maintain equipment without disrupting production.
By pairing our intuitive machine learning tools with cloud-based or edge computing systems to analyze data from your factory floor, Altair® RapidMiner® - Altair’s data analytics and AI platform – helps you keep a close eye on your equipment’s health. Our solutions give you the confidence to keep machines running, knowing that you can catch and address issues that aren’t easily detectable, avoiding costly failures and equipment downtime.
Transform the Warranty Process
The sheer number and variety of warranty claims in the automotive market makes traditional business intelligence-based methods unwieldy. But these claims contain valuable information about product quality and reliability, and customer expectations, and can also reveal design or manufacturing defects. Our solutions enable automakers to utilize this data source to improve existing products, develop more reliable new products, and increase profitability.
