The integration of SimSolid further strengthens these capabilities, making it even easier to access remarkable speed, accuracy and flexibility.”ĭon Tolle, practice director for simulation-driven systems design at CIMdata, a global independent firm providing consulting to maximize an enterprise’s ability to design and deliver innovative products and services through the application of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), said: Instead of employing it purely for validation at the end of the cycle, Inspire enables users to test more alternatives at the earliest opportunity, make better design decisions, and avoid implementing costly modifications at a later stage. “It’s no longer a question of who is responsible for simulation, but when and where it features in the process. James Dagg, Altair chief technology officer – design and simulation solutions, said:

Design changes can be made directly on models without reverting to the original CAD system, and interactive modifications such as geometry edits, dimensional changes, and part replacements can now be re-analysed ‘on the fly’ with SimSolid. No additional investment in expensive GPUs is required, and users do not need CAD or other specialist skills. Altair MotionSolve – multi-body systems analysis for dynamic motion simulation, including loads extraction.ĭeveloped with engineering leaders, product engineers and simulation specialists in mind, Inspire is intuitive, easy-to-learn in just a few hours and runs on standard laptops and workstations.Altair OptiStruct – the market leader and industry standard for structural efficiency and topology optimization for the generative design of practical, viable and manufacturable geometry.Integration with Inspire’s interactive design engineering environment sees SimSolid join two more trusted industry solvers, empowering users across the engineering and manufacturing sectors: Inspire now integrates Altair SimSolid for fast, accurate structural analysis of complex assemblies, as independently validated by NAFEMS.

The latest release offers a more powerful and accessible working environment, enabling a simulation-driven design approach that will cut time-to-market, reduce development costs, and optimize product performance.
