  • Validate

    Validate the model built before running solver analysis.

  • Axisymmetry

    Reduce a full 3D model with axisymmetric surfaces while accounting for imperfections.

  • Concept Modeling

    Tools and workflows that are dedicated to rapidly creating new parts for specific use cases, or amending existing parts. The current capabilities are focused on stiffening parts.

  • Crash and Safety

    Tools used for crash and safety analysis.

  • Airbag Solutions

  • Aeroelasticity

    Import an aeroelastic finite element model with Nastran Bulk Data format.

  • Certification

    Framework to plug certification methods to assess margin of safety from the model and result information.

  • Squeak and Rattle Director

    Create evaluation lines, evaluate them, and optimize the interfaces to eliminate squeak and rattle issues.

  • Panels

    Panels contains pre-processing and post-processing tools.

  • Results Data

    Results data can be post-processed using both HyperMesh and HyperView.

  • Plot Data

    HyperGraph is a data analysis and plotting tool with interfaces to many file formats.

  • Multibody Modeling

    MotionView is a general pre-processor for Multibody Dynamics.

    • MotionView Overview

      MotionView is a general pre-processor for Multi-body Dynamics.

    • Model Browser

      The Model Browser allows you to view the MotionView model structure while providing display and editing control of entities.

    • MotionView Ribbons

      The MotionView ribbons allows you to quickly access tools and standard functions, and is located along the top of MotionView.

    • MotionView CAD Interfacing

      MotionView supports the importing of several types of CAD and FE formats.

      • Tire Modeling

        • Introduction to Tire Modeling

          Tires are critical elements to modeling a vehicle’s interaction with a road, with some tire models better suited to specific simulation domains.

        • Coordinate Systems and Output Requests

        • Multi-Threading and Tire Models

          Since computing tire forces and moments during a vehicle simulation is one of the most costly tasks, multi-threaded execution of tire models on a multi-core computer can substantially reduce the clock time for a simulation.

        • CDTire Modeling

          Altair HyperWorks integrates the Comfort and Durability family of tire models - CDTire - from Fraunhofer ITWM. The CDTire can be used in Ride and Handling vehicle analysis focusing on comfort, durability, and vehicle dynamics.

        • Fiala Tire

          The FIALA tire model serves as the first stepping stone in full vehicle simulation because it is simple enough to be comprehended completely by the MBD analyst. Furthermore, the forces and torques produced by the tire/road interaction use a series of physically meaningful parameters.

        • MF-Tyre/MF-SWIFT Modeling

          Altair HyperWorks integrates MF-Tyre and MF-SWIFT tire models from Siemens (branded by Siemens as Simcenter Tire).

        • PM Flex Tire

          This tire is a FE based flexible tire solution from Pratt Miller that can interact with EDEM particles representing soil, sand, gravel, and so on. The tire model requires a finite element modeling file (.bdf) and other associated files. The AutoTire entity in MotionView provides a utility to generate the required mesh files from a CAD file. The tire can then be transferred to EDEM through MotionView-EDEM coupling interface. PM-FlexTire software is available as an Altair Partner product under the Altair Units licensing system.

        • User Written Tire and Road Models

          User Written Tire models are implemented as user subroutines that compute the tire forces and moments, and the user road model is implemented as a subroutine that computes the road height at a given point.
