What is SmartForm?

IgniteTech's SmartForm encompasses two primary offerings: MCAD and PLM. MCAD, or Mechanical Computer-Aided Design, functions as a versatile modeling platform that aids in the design of products and prototypes, allowing users to efficiently convert their concepts into designs ready for production. On the other hand, the PLM, which stands for Product Lifecycle Management, optimizes the entire product development process, covering everything from high-level management decisions and the production of technical documentation to ongoing customer service. This all-encompassing module includes features such as 2D/3D transparency, AutoCAD compatibility, interactive solid modeling, intelligent object functionalities, adaptive capabilities, integrated sheet metal design, advanced assembly management, and a range of translators for both 2D and 3D formats. Moreover, it offers image importation, global shape modeling (GSM), zone modeling, highlight reflections, rake sweeps, and real-time dynamic rendering, while also retaining the same 2D/3D transparency and translation functionalities. By employing hybrid modeling strategies, users can easily transition from initial design concepts to physical products, ensuring adaptability for revisions throughout the part and assembly design processes alongside 2D and 3D translations. This cutting-edge methodology not only fosters creativity but significantly enhances productivity in product development, ultimately leading to faster time-to-market for new innovations.

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.
