Altair Engineering Introduces HyperWorks 10.0 at Vehicle Dynamics Expo in Stuttgart

“We are very pleased to present our latest HyperWorks release to the visitors of the Vehicle Dynamics Expo and are happy to present our solutions jointly with our software partner Fluidon,” said Dr. Michael Hoffmann, Vice President European Operations, Altair Engineering. “CAE has become an integral part of the automotive development process. HyperWorks 10.0 will further strengthen Altair’s position within the automotive industry. While in the past, simulation has been used to evaluate design alternatives, the focus is now on frontloading the use of CAE within the development chain to drive the design even before CAD data is available. This will lead to a condensed development effort, maximize performance and quality and minimize related costs. We see those needs and requirements in the daily work with our customers. To meet these requirements Altair Engineering is supplementing its Engineering Framework HyperWorks by a set of so-called “Directors” which streamline and automate the virtual testing for attributes like safety, durability, NVH, and vehicle dynamics and allow multi-attribute optimization. Examples on how to use these “Directors” within the development work at the automotive industry will be presented at our booth.”

Fluidon GmbH, the HyperWorks Enabled Partner specialist for controls and hydraulics simulation, will also be present at the Altair booth to present their software environment DSHplus. Altair and Fluidon will jointly present their complementary solutions for vehicle dynamics simulation.
