EADS Innovation Works Europe Adds HyperWorks to Their Set of Preferred CAE Tools

“In Germany, we were looking for good optimization and meshing tools,” said Dr. Peter Middendorf, Head of Structure Integration & Mechanical Systems, EADS Innovation Works, Germany. “HyperWorks, with OptiStruct and HyperMesh, offers exactly the tools we were looking for to meet our needs. We like the open architecture of the product suite and we appreciate the high meshing quality of HyperMesh. In a benchmark, we ran with several meshing tools, HyperMesh produced excellent results, especially for volume meshes, which we need to automate our interior acoustic simulation efforts. Also, optimization is of growing importance in the aerospace industry and in all EADS Business Units. We are using OptiStruct for our optimization tasks because of its leading performance in optimizing composite structures. With Altair’s tools and support we can save time, money, and material.”

“I’m very pleased about EADS Innovation Works’ decision for HyperWorks and Altair support,” said Dr. Michael Hoffmann, Altair Vice President EMEA. “During the last twelve months, we have seen a tremendous growth of HyperWorks in the aerospace industry and throughout different EADS Business Units. I’m sure this trend will continue due the industry’s high interest in adopting HyperWorks’ superior modeling, visualization and optimization technologies, which include customized solutions for the aerospace industry, such as the optimization of composite structures. I am looking forward to a long and fruitful partnership with EADS Innovation Works.”
