Sustainability Solutions

Sustainability Solutions

As the world demands safer, more efficient, and more innovative products and processes, we aim to transform design and decision-making by applying simulation, machine learning, and optimization throughout product lifecycles. By helping our customers accomplish their goals, we reduce the environmental impact of goods and services around the world and across an array of industries.

Shared Infrastructure

We offer cloud-based applications that allow multiple organizations to use efficiently scaled and shared infrastructure, thus eliminating countless independent compute server installations and giving them access to a range of applications that help them design sustainably.

Lightweight Design

We enable structural optimization to inspire and refine product designs that minimize material usage and maximize performance. We allow organizations to utilize simulation-driven innovation so they can develop products, processes, and experiences rapidly in a virtual world – eliminating the carbon and waste stream impacts of physical prototypes in the process.

Operational Efficiency

We conduct high-performance computing (HPC) workload management to optimize energy usage and run time. We also support additive manufacturing and other advanced manufacturing techniques so organizations can create stellar designs developed from simulation methodologies, all at the lowest possible cost.

Material Efficiency

Engineered plastics and laminate composites offer the design freedom to the meet lightweighting and cost requirements for complex parts. High-quality plastic materials can be produced quickly and at high volume, but holistic simulation is needed to tailor materials to the individual product requirements. Altair offers a comprehensive set of engineering plastic solutions to produce innovative plastic parts quickly and reliably.

Additive manufacturing (AM) isn’t just for rapid prototyping, research projects, and advanced engineering teams. It is now a viable production solution, and Altair provides a robust simulation toolchain to support production designs created specifically for AM.

Reducing is Better than Recycling

Reducing carbon dioxide emissions while meeting the 21st century's economic goals calls for the broad adoption of simulation-driven design, a method that identifies high-potential designs earlier in development cycles. Designers and engineers can use structural optimization technology to minimize material usage and improve performance, which creates longer-lasting products that require fewer resources to manufacture and operate.
