Altair releases HyperWorks 9.0

NEW DELHI, INDIA: Altair Engineering, a provider of technology and services empowering client innovation and decision making, announced the release of Altair HyperWorks 9.0, the next generation of its integrated suite of computer-aided engineering (CAE) software applications.

HyperWorks is an enterprise simulation platform to support product lifecycle management (PLM) processes. It is the leading simulation-driven design solution for product development across the world’s top corporations.

The release of HyperWorks 9.0 is the first engineering simulation solution to deeply embed grid computing management tools with compute-intensive CAE software applications.

“Over the past decade, Altair HyperWorks has become the preferred simulation platform for the worldwide advanced manufacturing community,” says James R Scapa, president and CEO of Altair.

“Through advancements in simulation technology, a value-driven business model and superior customer support, the adoption of HyperWorks continues to outpace the CAE market with a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 25 per cent.”

HyperWorks 9.0 clients can now use unallocated HyperWorks units in their existing pool to immediately access Altair’s PBS GridWorks on-demand grid-computing technology suite at no incremental cost.

This common licensing model allows corporations to virtualize their global computing infrastructure – maximizing the throughput of analysis jobs as well as the utilization of hardware and software resources.
