OptiStruct is a unique, advanced finite element technology for creating a design concept and multiparametric topological optimization of structures. OptiStruct allows engineers and designers to quickly and efficiently develop lightweight, high-strength and efficient structures.

By predicting the optimal geometry of the structure at the early stages of design using topological optimization methods, OptiStruct facilitates the development process, which increases the efficiency and reliability of structures, as well as reduces development time.

At any stage of the design of the structure, OptiStruct's powerful capabilities to optimize the shape and size of the product can be applied to further improve the behavior of the structure and its parameters. Using the most efficient and innovative optimization algorithms, OptiStruct allows you to solve the most complex optimization problems with dozens and hundreds of parameters in the shortest possible time.

OptiStruct optimization technology allows you to optimize structures according to the criteria of minimizing mass, maximum rigidity, and natural frequency spectrum. A special built-in submodule allows using topological and topographic optimization methods to create optimal structures from layered composites, and these structures can be of variable thickness, arbitrarily complex shape, and layers of materials can also be reinforced with fibers. In the shortest possible time, OptiStruct will allow you to apply the unique technologies embedded in it, patented by Altair companies, in order to choose several optimal configurations from tens of thousands of possible options for complex composite structures, which will reduce the time spent on design development by tens of times.

Altair OptiStruct also introduces the possibility of creating so-called lattice/cellstructures - lattice and cellular structures that significantly reduce the mass of the product being created while maintaining its stiffness and strength parameters. Due to the growing technological capabilities of 3D printing and the growing popularity of additive technologies in various industries, lattice structures are actively used in the development of durable and lightweight products for aviation, rocket science, sports car manufacturing, and medicine (for example, implantology). A special OptiStruct submodule allows you to quickly, automatically or semi-automatically build the most complex lattice structures, pre-selecting the required cell size, and get a product completely ready for subsequent 3D printing for metal or plastic.nd topographic optimization methods to create optimal structures from layered composites, and these structures can be of variable thickness, arbitrarily complex shape, and layers of materials can also be reinforced with fibers. In the shortest possible time, OptiStruct will allow you to apply the unique technologies embedded in it, patented by Altair companies, in order to choose several optimal configurations from tens of thousands of possible options for complex composite structures, which will reduce the time spent on design development by tens of times.

Like all other software systems of the HyperWorks platform, OptiStruct uses a single token system during licensing and launch.
