Products Solutions Staffing Ventures About TECHNOLOGY AND SERVICES FOR INNOVATION INTELLIGENCE® Our vision is to transform product design and organizational decision making by applying simulation, optimization and high performance computing throughout product lifecycles. Altair is a leading provider of enterprise-class engineering software enabling innovation, reduced development times, and lower costs through the entire product lifecycle from concept design to in-service operation. Our simulation-driven approach to innovation is powered by our integrated suite of software which optimizes design performance across multiple disciplines encompassing structures, motion, fluids, thermal management, electromagnetics, system modeling and embedded systems, while also providing data analytics and true-to-life visualization and rendering. WHAT'S THE SECRET TO PRODUCT INNOVATION? Altair offers software in five categories related to Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) and High Performance Computing (HPC) Solvers & Optimization Solvers are mathematical software "engines" that use advanced computational algorithms to predict physical performance. Optimization leverages solvers to derive the most efficient solutions to meet desired complex multi-objective requirements. Modeling & Visualization Tools that allow advanced physics attributes to be modeled and rendered on top of object geometry in high fidelity. Industrial & Concept Design Tools that generate early concepts to address requirements for ergonomics, aesthetics, performance, and manufacturing feasibility. Internet of Things Analytics tools that simplify data collection, visualization, exploration and analysis, including large volumes of data generated by sensors during in-service operations of physical products or through digital twin simulations. High Performance Computing Software applications that streamline the workflow management of compute-intensive tasks including solvers, optimization, modeling, visualization and analytics in fields such as Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), weather modeling, bio-informatics and electronic design analysis. We provide services related to our software including consulting, training, implementation services, and support, along with technical services for product development. Altair's headquarters includes an industrial design studio, a prototype shop, and test facilities.
