Competition victory leads to pre- and post-processing tools

The agreement confirms the worldwide Airbus aircraft migration to HyperWorks Desktop. It demonstrates Altair's competencies in pre- and post-processing and confirms Altair's position as a major player in the aerospace industry.

The agreement will enable a worldwide employment of the HyperWorks Desktop solutions in all Airbus aircraft, effective today. In addition to providing the aforementioned solutions, Altair has also committed to dedicated support of the Airbus teams, which includes:  

• Tighter collaboration between Airbus and Altair teams, to set up a deployment roadmap for integration of Altair solutions in Airbus aircraft
• Customisation of Altair software according to Airbus' needs and requirements.
• Training of the Airbus Teams on HyperMesh and HyperView.

Schneider added: "The agreement proofs our position in the aerospace industry as a key provider of high-end simulation and development solutions. It also complements and tightly aligns with the long term consulting collaboration between Airbus and Altair ProductDesign."

Altair ProductDesign supports a wide range of industries with engineering consulting and staffing services to help bring the company's clients’ products to market faster. Over the past decade, Altair ProductDesign has been supporting Airbus innovations and delivered efficiencies in ‘Time Compression’ and therefore associated cost reduction, driven by synergies between Altair’s engineering services and software development teams.

Based on an in depth understanding of the Airbus activities, Altair has proposed a number of innovations to provide best-in-class pre- and post- processing tools, to reduce the model build process and to improve process efficiency.
