What is Altair Inspire?

When applied at the beginning of the product development journey, Inspire significantly boosts the speed and efficacy of creating, refining, and analyzing innovative and structurally sound components and assemblies through collaborative efforts. Its acclaimed interface for designing and modifying geometries can be learned in just a few hours, all while delivering reliable computational strength from Altair solvers. The swift and precise structural analysis capabilities of Altair® SimSolid®, confirmed by independent validation from NAFEMS, enable users to assess large assemblies and complex components with ease. Moreover, dynamic motion simulations, which encompass load extraction, utilize the powerful multi-body system analysis provided by Altair® MotionSolve®. For those aiming for structural efficiency, topology optimization through Altair® OptiStruct® paves the way for the generative design of functional, feasible, and manufacturable geometries. Inspire equips both simulation analysts and designers to explore what-if scenarios more quickly and conveniently, particularly at earlier phases of the project, enhancing teamwork across departments. This proactive incorporation of Inspire into the design workflow not only streamlines processes but also significantly encourages creativity and innovation in product development, ultimately leading to higher quality outcomes.
