Motion – Assessment of complex mechanical Systems for load generation System Simulation “Inspire integrates well into large manufacturing enterprises for rapid simulation and lightweighting insights, and has an intuitive user experience that is ideal for small and medium-size businesses with little or no simulation experience.” “Inspire 2018 enables designers and engineers to leverage simulation in new and inventive ways to accelerate the development of high-performance, innovative products,” says James Dagg, CTO for User Experience at Altair. It creates and investigates structurally efficient concepts quickly and easily, leading to reduced costs, development time, material consumption, and product weight. Inspire is a powerful yet easy to use generative design/topology optimization and rapid simulation solution for design engineers. The simulation-driven design software is available through Altair’s solidThinking channel partner network and directly to its HyperWorks user community. Altair 365 offers additional enterprise services including visual collaboration with peers, version control, secure data management and scalable high-performance computing resources.Lattice Analysis – Structural simulation of mixed solid and lattice optimization resultsĪ new year means new software updates, and engineering software developer Altair today announced the release of Inspire 2018. Whether running on the desktop or on Altair 365, Altair Inspire customers will enjoy the same intuitive user experience and simulation capabilities.

Altair 365 allows customers the flexibility to access Altair Inspire and the entire solidThinking suite in the cloud under its new solidThinking units licensing model. Together with the release of Altair Inspire, Altair also debuts its Altair 365 engineering collaboration platform on Microsoft Azure.

This new platform brings together simulation solutions for generative design, engineering analysis, and manufacturability under a single, intuitive user environment, appealing to designers and engineers with little or no simulation experience. The Altair Inspire platform enables manufacturers to leverage simulation to drive the entire design process, accelerating the pace of innovation and reducing time-to-market. Altair announced the release and immediate availability of the Altair Inspire™ simulation-driven design platform, and the Altair 365™ cloud collaboration platform.
