Description

When utilized early in the product development process, Inspire enhances the creation, optimization, and examination of innovative and structurally efficient components and assemblies through collaborative efforts. Its award-winning interface for geometry creation and modification can be mastered within just a few hours, all while providing the robust power of Altair solvers. The structural analysis capabilities, validated by NAFEMS, allow for swift and accurate evaluations using Altair® SimSolid®, making it possible to analyze extensive assemblies and intricate parts. Additionally, it offers dynamic motion simulation and load extraction through the trusted multi-body systems analysis of Altair® MotionSolve®. Furthermore, Altair® OptiStruct® sets the industry benchmark for structural efficiency with its topology optimization, facilitating generative design that yields practical and manufacturable geometries. Inspire empowers both simulation analysts and designers to conduct what-if analyses more quickly and easily, fostering an environment of collaboration and innovation. This approach not only enhances productivity but also encourages teams to explore a wider range of design possibilities earlier in the development cycle.

Description
