Altair HyperWorks is the integrated, modern CAE platform from Altair — now part of Siemens — for simulation-driven innovation across multiple physics domains. It brings modelling, multiple solvers, optimisation and post-processing into one cohesive ecosystem, so the same model flows from meshing to results without leaving the suite, alongside the wider Simcenter portfolio.
Featured products
- HyperMesh — high-performance FE pre/post-processing and meshing, with embedded Python automation and native interfaces to OptiStruct, Radioss and more. The de-facto standard for automotive body-in-white and aerospace structures.
- OptiStruct — advanced structural analysis and optimisation solver: linear and non-linear, dynamics and fatigue, and best-in-class topology optimisation. Its “one model, one solver” approach validates performance and optimises design together, for lighter, stronger, more economical components.
- Inspire — simulation-driven design for every user: fast concept modelling, structural/fluid/motion analysis, generative and topology optimisation, and manufacturability insight in one intuitive interface.
- SimSolid — meshless structural analysis on full CAD assemblies for fast, early-stage validation.
- Radioss — explicit-dynamics solver for crash, impact and drop.
- MotionSolve — multi-body dynamics; HyperStudy — design exploration and optimisation; HyperView / HyperGraph — results post-processing and plotting.
Why Altair for simulation
- A best-in-class, open CAE platform with a broad set of state-of-the-art physics solvers.
- Nearly 40 years of deep engineering and simulation expertise.
- AI-powered simulation and generative design.
- Flexible Altair Units licensing — draw any module from a shared pool, so one agreement covers the whole workflow.
Simulation applications
Lightweighting and structural optimisation, crash/safety/durability, external aerodynamics and aeroacoustics, manufacturing process optimisation, EMC and antenna design, electronics reliability and PCB simulation, thermal management, particle and bulk-material handling, and AI-powered design exploration — across automotive, aerospace and defence, heavy equipment, industrial machinery, rail, energy, electronics and more.
Many engineering teams run a mixed HyperWorks + Simcenter shop, and we help size, license and support both. DDSPLM is a Siemens Gold Partner and Smart Expert Partner delivering the combined Siemens + Altair simulation portfolio across India.
