In order to stay competitive while pushing the envelope on innovation, simulation must drive the entire design process from the early concept design phase all the way to production.
Leveraging the Altair® Inspire™ robust solution set for model-based development, concept design, multiphysics, and manufacturing simulation early and often has become a key driver to innovation and is helping numerous industry-leading companies to meet quality, cost, and time to market targets.
In addition to the desktop software solutions, Altair democratizes simulation offering instant-on cloud access, lowering the barrier of entry for organizations with limited IT and compute resources to drive their design process with simulation.
Model-Based Development
Math and system design software for multidisciplinary product development. Readily simulate complex products as systems-of systems throughout your development cycle – from early concept design, to detailed design, then hardware testing ustrial design approaches utilizing the ultimate hybrid modeling and rendering system.
Concept Design & Simulation
Create and investigate structurally efficient concepts quickly and easily. Quickly analyze the performance, then mix and match different designs to create a part which meets the demands of multiple use cases.

Multiphysics
Accurately analyze the performance of complex assemblies. Multiple physics including structural, thermal, and fluid dynamics can be easily setup using highly automated modeling tasks, helping to drastically reduce the time spent creating finite element models and interpreting results.
Manufacturing Processes
The Altair Inspire manufacturing product line encompasses simulation tools that optimize the entire manufacturing process for casting, metal and polymer extrusion, sheet metal forming, and more. Users are able to validate designs early in the manufacturing process with the simplicity and affordability of the simulation software.
Deliver Exceptional Value – Direct Software Savings
Altair’s units-based subscription licensing model has transformed the way our customers use software. Under a traditional software industry licensing model, customers license rights to use a particular application or a suite of applications, which are typically priced on a per CPU basis for a specified period of time. Altair’s model is different from these traditional models. When you buy Altair Units, you become eligible to download the entire suite of Altair Inspire products including tools for concept and generative design, model-based development, multiphysics, and manufacturing simulation.
Drive product innovation with simulation for you and your team. With Altair Units, users can instantly access the suite of Altair products through an intuitive Portal which includes account management, unit tracking, product downloads, and access to the latest product releases. Units can be instantly checked out and shared with anyone in your organization. When a user is done using Altair Units, they return to the pool for someone else to use.

Multibody Dynamics Case Study of Chair Lift
RecurDyn Dynamic studies are required to predict the accelerations, verify that the cams are properly shaped, and to extract the loads to structurally size the parts. The multi-body model is all but trivial because it requires the combination of highly flexible bodies and the massive use of contacts.
