Uwe Schramm, CTO of solvers, optimisation and multi-physics solutions at Altair, told SME Media<\/em><\/a> that the most complex finite element (FE) models can be managed in the new Altair HyperWorks user interface.<\/p>\n “Designers can quickly evaluate manufacturing feasibility of their design and select a cost-effective manufacturing process,” Schramm explained. “Manufacturing engineers can use the software to optimise production. Modern user experiences like Altair Inspire provide easy-to-learn access to manufacturing simulation technology.”<\/p>\n Manufacturing simulation<\/a> software is therefore increasingly adapted to the needs of designers and manufacturing specialists — rather than catered to suit experts in simulation. <\/p>\n The improvements in user experience (UX) in turn drive take-up of simulations in manufacturing engineering applications, which helps accelerate design and shop-floor decisions.<\/p>\n “Many organisations now use manufacturing simulation to initialise models with more realistic material and other properties that get manipulated during manufacturing. This helps to more accurately predict failure modes in the final product and avoid surprises with the first physical prototype,” Schramm said.<\/p>\n James Scapa, chairman and CEO at Altair, said this year saw the “most significant” software updates so far for Altair<\/a>, with all software products incorporating advances in UX and new features, including intuitive workflows that speed up product development and therefore time to market.<\/p>\n “It also broadens the scope of the new user experience, enables access to more physics, data analytics, and machine learning, and makes the Altair software delivery method more flexible and accessible,” said Scapa.<\/p>\n
