“We are focused on providing engineers with the tools that make their lives easier, faster, empowering them with optimization tools… On the other hand, we also talk to the architects about the other side, about the simulation tools we have, so they can investigate a freeform design-which is always very hard to understand where the loads come down,” says Frattari. So it goes then that a central tenet of Altair’s overall philosophy has been to find ways to bring high-fidelity mathematically intensive engineering analysis upfront to the design phase. “I think with the current speed of innovation and client demands-with the desire to create the most iconic structures with the most energy-efficiency-the dichotomy between the creative and the mathematical cannot be maintained anymore,” says Luca Frattari, Ph.D., Vice President, AEC Global Business, Altair.
Hence, the acquisition of solidThinking and the continued focus on bringing high-fidelity engineering technology workflows into the early design process.
The more significant point was, Altair made a vital connection long ago of how critical it was to tie the conceptual design segment of product development to the engineering side. I think with the current speed of innovation and client demands-with the desire to create the most iconic structures with the most energy-efficiency-the dichotomy between the creative and the mathematical cannot be maintained anymore.
