Circular Product Lifecycle Management
Increase the use of recyclates and biodegradable materials to achieve product sustainability and circularity.
Enable Material Data for Simulation
Altair’s mission is to enable high-quality material data for multiphysics simulation, that is available from anywhere and seamlessly integrated with CAD/CAE applications.
Reduce Material Testing with AI
With Altair solutions, users can fill material information gaps, develop new materials using AI, evaluate new material grades, and provide required documentation.
Minimize Prototyping Costs
Cut lead times, reduce costs, and accelerate time to market by leveraging high-quality material information – a key enabler for end-to-end virtual product development.
Comprehensive Material Intelligence Management Framework
Generating material properties can be inconsistent, expensive and time-consuming. Altair® Material Modeler™ is a modeling framework that allows users to quickly and accurately process raw test material data and generate required inputs for data export in .txt and CAE formats.
Created for any stakeholder, the Altair® Material Data Center™ provides a role-based, enterprise-wide single source of data with full traceability to the source. With it, searching, comparing, and exporting materials from a web-based interface or through direct integration with other applications is easy.
Fully integrated with Altair’s simulation products, Altair® Multiscale Designer® is a comprehensive framework for developing highly predictive advanced material models. It reduces time and costs thanks to its minimal experimental data requirements.
Material Solutions for Sustainable Innovation
Innovate New Materials with AI
Material producers continuously develop and enhance new materials to meet their customers’ needs, sustainability goals, and technological challenges. Altair’s solutions portfolio optimizes processes, evaluates new material grades, and provides the necessary documentation while enabling global product consolidation and gap-filling with advanced material modeling and AI. Altair’s secure web interface makes sharing datasets with customers’ organizations easy. Best of all, users can also leverage Altair® RapidMiner® – Altair’s game-changing data analytics and AI platform – alongside Altair’s material solutions.
