Altair India - Spearheading Simulation Technology to Aid Automotive OEMs

CIO Vendor The automotive industry faces diversified challenges according to customer demands including better features for safety, convenience, durability, light weight and performance in addition to government regulations including fuel economy standards. In such a scenario, the automotive OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturer) benefit a lot from simulation technology. When vehicle manufactures endeavor to meet these needs and launch their effective designs quickly in the market, the capability of simulation technology attains high prominence in the automotive industry landscape.

Michigan headquartered Altair Engineering India Pvt. Ltd. with India offices in Pune, Chennai, Bangalore and Hyderabad, optimizes simulation technology to aid its clients in generating their products which attain minimum weight, outstanding performance and industry-leading timescales. The company is focused on the development of simulation-driven solutions to empower the innovation, decision-making and business performance of its clients. With simulation technology, it caters a software portfolio that are named as HyperWorks, solidThinking, PBS Works, Cloud Solutions and Partner Alliance. Additionally, the company delivers services related to product design, enterprise analytic solutions and industrial design etc. It has a wide clientele list from different verticals such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, energy, life sciences, heavy equipment and consumer products etc.

While taking Altair India’s software portfolio into account, its HyperWorks suite provides most comprehensive and open-architecture CAE (computer-aided engineering) simulation platform. This platform allows businesses to create superior and market-leading products efficiently and cost effectively. As automotive manufacturers are in need of simulation-driven design process due to evolving as well as enhanced consumer and governmental demands, the HyperWorks portfolio from Altair India aids the automotive companies in simulation-driven design.
The software helps optimize performances like fuel economy, safety, durability, drivability and comfort. It reduces design cycle times and enables automotive companies to bring new products to the market as quickly as possible. The platform occupies a list of products including HyperMesh, HyperView, SimLab, and OptiStruct, Radioss, FEKO, AcuSolve etc.

When it comes to HyperWorks product list, Altair India provides SimLab as a vertical application development platform that captures and automates simulation processes. It is a process-oriented finite element modeling software that is especially suited for solid element modeling. It allows modeling tasks being automated, resulting reduced human errors and time spent manually for creating finite element models and interpreting results. “SimLab definitely cuts down the model built time from days to sometimes to even minutes. It helps the customers do their simulations run much faster,” shares Pavan Kumar, Managing Director, Altair Engineering India. Besides SimLab, Altair India offers OptiStruct as a modern structural analysis solver for linear and nonlinear problems under static and dynamic loadings. As OptiStruct is a market-leading solution for structural design and optimization, the product helps designers and engineers rapidly develop innovative, lightweight and structurally efficient designs.

Being a technology focused company, Altair India amalgamates both product as well as its domain knowledge. “We want to be remembered as a technology leader who does a fantastic job of combining software tools and domain expertise, helping our customers, and finally making much better product,” concludes Pavan Kumar.
