Altair® HyperWorks® is the most comprehensive,
open architecture CAE simulation platform in the
industry, offering the best technologies to design
and optimize high performance, weight efficient
and innovative products.

HyperWorks includes best-in-class modeling, linear

and nonlinear analysis, structural optimization,
fluid and multi-body dynamics simulation,
visualization and data management solutions.

Drive Innovation
Over the last two decades, Altair has pioneered
simulation-driven design to generate innovative
design solutions for its clients, developing and
implementing intelligent simulation technologies
that allows users to significantly reduce products
weight, saving cost, fuel and C02 emissions.

Save Money
Altair has made its products available to customers
using a patented license management system,
which allows metered usage of the entire suite
of products.

This value-based licensing model has been

extended to partners products, providing a
dynamic and on-demand platform that now also
includes cloud-based solutions.

“HyperWorks offers our engineers
the full potential of CAE in a
multidisciplinary portfolio, with third-
party products, at a very competitive
price.” – EADS Innovation Works
“If we didn’t have HyperWorks, our jobs would
be much harder, and there would be a lot more
guesswork involved without substance to back
it up and solve so many of the potential issues
we analyze.”– Unilever
“HyperWorks’ capabilities are an improvement over
what other software companies provide. The HyperWorks
units licensing model allows us to choose what we
want. It is exactly the kind of software package to meet
our needs.” – American Railcar
Simulation Technology
Structural Analysis
HyperWorks includes a complete structural analysis and optimization
solution for linear and non-linear structural problems under static
and dynamic loadings, such as stress, vibration, buckling, thermal
and NVH analysis. OptiStruct® is used by thousands of companies
worldwide to analyze and optimize performance of composites
structures and complex structural parts and assemblies.

Impact and Safety

Designing structures under extreme loads requires accuracy
and scalability. Over the past 20+ years, RADIOSS® has become
the standard to simulate the most challenging transient, highly
nonlinear problems, including crash and safety analysis, impact and
blast simulation, drop test, airbags deployment, material failure
analysis and more.

Multi-body and Mechanical Systems

Based on superior numerical methods supporting both flexible and rigid body
dynamics, MotionSolve® is a modern solution for vehicle dynamics, robotics
and complex mechanism design. It is capable of simulating large systems
with ease, including suspension and chassis dynamics, electro-mechanical
and mechatronic systems, and multi-disciplinary analyses.

Fluid and Thermal Analysis

Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in the product
development process helps engineers to analyze and
improve fluid flows. AcuSolve® provides unmatched accuracy
solving fully unstructured meshes for complex, steady-state
and transient fluid and thermal analyses. Combined with
HyperWorks Virtual Wind Tunnel™ it can be used to
evaluate exterior aerodynamics vehicles performance.

“We are in the position to predict crash results via simulation much better than in the past. Building on this approach
will lead to sustainable time savings and better products for our customers.” – PSA Peugeot Citroën
Modeling & Visualization

Model Build and Assembly

HyperWorks includes some of the most popular tools for fast finite element meshing of large automotive and
aerospace models. HyperMesh® provides unmatched openness and interoperability, while SimLab® uses a process-
oriented, feature-based modeling approach. Together, these tools offer users a comprehensive array of 1D, shell, and
solid meshing capabilities for complex assemblies.

Visualization and Reporting

Analyze, understand and publish your simulation results with HyperWorks. Offering a powerful environment capable of
quickly processing models with millions of elements, HyperView® and HyperGraph® are used in many industries to get
insights and make the right decisions based on CAE and test results.

Open Architecture Collaborate and Automate

Combining the broadest set of direct interfaces to the
most popular CAD systems and CAE solvers - such as
Abaqus, Ansys, LS-DYNA, and NASTRAN - with virtually
unlimited user-defined integrations, HyperWorks’
open architecture allows users to operate in a very
flexible environment that fits seamlessly within any
simulation scenario.
HyperWorks includes a fully integrated, out-of-the-box
solution to manage and automate simulations and
associated data. Using the HyperWorks Collaboration Tools,
engineers and designers can communicate and share
product modifications within minutes, and operate in an
open and collaborative environment that easily connects
to the most popular enterprise PLM systems.
Optimization Driven Innovation

Pioneers and Experts in Optimization

In the early 1990s Altair brought a cutting edge technology to structural engineers with the release of OptiStruct,
an integrated topology, size, shape and composites optimization tool, nurturing a culture of optimization in the product
development teams of some the world’s most technically advanced companies. Today solidThinking Inspire® delivers
the same technology to the designers’ desktop in an amazingly accessible package.

Study and Explore

HyperStudy® enables users to explore, understand and improve their system designs using methods such
as design-of-experiments and optimization. HyperStudy’s intuitive interface combined with the complex results
calculations capabilities in HyperMath®, enables users to make better decisions and optimize the performance,
reliability and robustness of their systems.

Multiphysics and Systems

Altair multiphysics technology enables solving complex, multidisciplinary
design problems involving two or more physical phenomena from
the fields of structural, fluids, thermal, multi-body dynamics, acoustics,
controls, hydraulics and electromagnetism (FEKO). It maximizes the
quality, robustness and scalability coming from required single physics
solutions of Altair and Altair’s partners, while applying the best coupling
and optimization technology.

Vertical Solutions
HyperWorks includes the broadest offering of vertical solutions, ranging
from crash and safety evaluation in HyperCrash® to a complete suite
to simulate and optimize the metal forming (HyperForm®) and metals
and polymers extrusion (HyperXtrude®) processes. Furthermore, several
process-driven, tailorable HyperWorks Solutions for automating
CAE workflows and tasks are offered with an innovative delivery model. Model courtesy

“With HyperStudy we were able to design the best, optimal fan for one of our hammers, increasing the airflow by 10%,
which translated into a better cooling of the motor.“ – DeWalt – Stanley Black & Decker
Partner Alliance

The Altair Partner Alliance (APA) provides HyperWorks customers access to a broad spectrum
of complementary software products, using their existing HyperWorks Units (HWUs).

This flexible platform provides designers and engineers with an ever-expanding set of tools for
