Altair Engineering Inc. announced that ATR INGENIERIE has selected HyperWorks, Altair's CAE suite, to further streamline the company's engineering capabilities for projects within its mechanical engineering division. In addition, ATR INGENIERIE has introduced a partnership with Altair France. This partnership will assure ATR INGENIERIE's customers the use of HyperWorks and especially the use of RADIOSS, the nonlinear solver of the CAE suite, to its full potential. RADIOSS will be used to simulate drop tests of metallic and reinforced concrete containers. The aim is to define robust packaging concepts for transport and storage of hazardous material. The accelerated model creation with HyperMorph and HyperStudy will bring an additional value to the projects of ATR INGENIERIE, especially regarding optimization and robustness studies.

Altair Engineering Inc. announced that EADS Innovation Works has benchmarked the HyperWorks CAE platform for functional and physical simulation tasks and has again recommended its use to the engineers of the EADS Group and its divisions Airbus, Eurocopter, EADS Astrium and EADS Defence & Security. The Simulation and Graphical Technologies Team of EADS Innovation Works has been using HyperWorks successfully for more than seven years. The department is constantly looking for the best tools to guarantee the technical innovation potential of EADS with a focus on the long-term horizon. The strategic decision for the HyperWorks suite will help EADS engineers in many different areas to develop their products better and faster. HyperWorks products are used for many CAE activities including stochastic studies, Design of Experiments, and optimization, for versatile target-oriented applications like optical radiation, acoustic, electric, structural and fluid mechanical simulations. Major advantages are the reliable interfaces to proprietary and binary files of simulation models and results.

Altair Engineering Inc. announced, that international engineering and design consultancy Atkins has selected HyperWorks' pre-and post-processing solutions, HyperMesh and HyperView as standard tools for future design projects. The decision follows measured business benefits from the suite including productivity and efficiency gains, the flexible business model and a common platform for supporting Atkins' multi-solver environment.
