Exhibitors tips: innovation with reduced development time

It is advantageous to use topology optimization already at the beginning of a design phase, where the software can calculate optimal material distribution based on factors such as load and voltage requirements. These simulation techniques allow customers to design light and performative parts with a simulation-driven design method. The advances in manufacturing technology also make it possible to build these sometimes complex designs with both traditional processes such as casting, injection molding and forging, but also through Additive Manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing. The goal is optimized design that encompasses everything from structure and motion to thermal control and electromagnetism – while the software analyzes, interprets and visualizes data.

With the help of software, solutions are available throughout the product life cycle from the early design stage in the development of smart products to the collection and management of data to create as flexible and integrated products as possible. Altair is a leading supplier of simulation software that enables innovation with reduced development time, which in turn results in lower costs throughout the product life cycle. Using simulation is a necessary driver of innovation, a way to be competitive today in all industries.
