Structural analysis and topology optimization are core components of Altair Inspire that enable users to create more efficient designs and reduce costs.

In both cases, Inspire users benefit from full control over the shape using visual controls or precise numeric constraints, for example by constraining the degree of continuity between adjacent surfaces.ĭefeaturing for structural analysis and topology optimization Users develop models quickly and easily by taking advantage of Parasolid’s extensive mechanical CAD modeling functions, such as adding, subtracting, intersecting, hollowing, tapering and blending solid geometry.Įngineers can intuitively fashion complex organic shapes with non-uniform rational b-spline (NURBS) surfaces created along user-defined guide curves or automatically fitted between existing surfaces.

At the same time, the modeling tools need to be intuitive enough for design engineers to master quickly and easily.Īltair selected the Parasolid® software geometric modeler, part of the Xcelerator™ portfolio of solutions and services from Siemens Digital Industries Software, because it offers Altair Inspire™ users the widest array of 3D modeling capabilities available. Mix-and-match 3D modeling in a single intuitive applicationĪltair recognized that a leading simulation-driven design application needs to offer a comprehensive geometric modeler to capture the diversity of form in manufactured products across a broad range of industries, and the range of preferred methods used in their design. Provided customers a sophisticated, integrated 2D sketcherĪltair’s comprehensive, openarchitecture solutions for data analytics, simulation, and high-performance computing (HPC) enable design and optimization for high-performance, innovative and sustainable products and processes in an increasingly connected world.
