Altair Activate
Altair Activate is a multifunctional platform designed for modeling and simulating a wide range of products within a system-of-systems context, which significantly enhances both design efficiency and speed. As products across different industries become increasingly complex, with heightened electrification and interconnectivity, there is a growing necessity for sophisticated simulation tools. The platform adopts a multi-disciplinary perspective that supports the comprehensive development of complex mechatronic systems, thereby improving collaboration among product development teams and streamlining their workflows. By breaking down the silos that exist between various subsystems—such as mechanical, electrical, and software components—Altair Activate fosters a more cohesive design approach. Furthermore, it enables the modeling of thermal-fluid system dynamics through 1D simulation techniques, yielding results that are almost as accurate as those obtained from 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) but with much quicker turnaround times. This acceleration in the simulation process not only enhances design exploration but also facilitates superior performance optimization within shorter timeframes. Consequently, Altair Activate equips teams with the tools needed to adeptly manage the challenges of modern product development, providing them with enhanced agility and deeper insights into their designs. Overall, the platform's comprehensive capabilities position it as an essential asset for any organization aiming to innovate effectively in today’s fast-paced technological landscape.

Virtual REX
Electromagnetic sensors consist of two primary elements: a "front-end" that produces and detects electromagnetic waves through a subsystem called the Receiver/Exciter (REX), and a "back-end" tasked with processing both signal and data, typically managed by software. Each subsystem must be developed separately before they can be integrated effectively. The creation of a fully functional sensor grows more intricate and time-consuming due to unexpected obstacles encountered during integration testing. This intricacy primarily arises from the dependencies between subsystems that are challenging to test when developed individually. Consequently, any required software updates, configuration changes, adjustments to waveforms, or upgrades to technology may lead to significantly increased costs, as they usually necessitate on-site verification with the actual hardware of the front-end. To alleviate these challenges, the Virtual Receiver/Exciter (VREX) employs a simulated front-end, which enhances the efficiency of the testing and integration process. By utilizing a virtual model, developers can proactively identify and rectify potential integration challenges much earlier in the development timeline, ultimately leading to a more streamlined workflow and reduced costs in the long run. This proactive approach not only saves time but also enhances the overall quality of the final product.
