Altair (Nasdaq:ALTR) announced the release of Inspire 2018 simulation-driven design software. It is available through its solidThinking channel partner network and directly to its HyperWorks user community.
“Inspire 2018 enables designers and engineers to leverage simulation in new and inventive ways to accelerate the development of high-performance, innovative products,” says James Dagg, CTO for User Experience at Altair. “Inspire integrates well into large manufacturing enterprises for rapid simulation and lightweighting insights, and has an intuitive user experience for small and medium-size businesses with little or no simulation experience.”
Applied at the very beginning of clean-sheet design programs and for design exploration of current production parts, Inspire simulation-driven design software allows designers and engineers to:
-rapidly组装和模拟动态机械系统，以自动解析系统组件的负载以进行优化和分析
–Generate weight-efficient design proposals unique to specified conventional or additive manufacturing processes with Altair’s industry-leading拓扑优化技术
–Directly export Inspire CAD geometry to 3D printers to produce high-performance, quality parts
Andy Bartels Inspire Program Manager解释说：“为了在推动创新信封的同时保持竞争力，模拟必须从早期概念设计阶段一直通过生产来驱动整个设计过程。我们继续添加工具，使Inspire对其设计过程的每一步中的用户更有利。“
With Inspire 2018, users can:
-Generate优化的晶格和混合固体 - 晶格结构，可视化模拟结果3D，并在3D打印中出口晶格设计。3D打印的文件格式
–View and interactively assign loads to load cases and import / export design loads in .csv file format with the new Load Cases Table
–Design for additive manufacturing with overhang shape controls to help reduce overhangs to create more self-supporting structures
- 用新的多纽腊塞型工具优化多核CAD几何形状的拟合设计结果
“激发2018是可用的immediately to clients as an application software download and later this year as a cloud-based offering,” says Dagg. “Branded as Inspire Unlimited, the cloud offering of Inspire will include additional functionality such as secure data management, team collaboration tools, and on-demand high-performance computing (HPC).”
