Multiphysics in Munich


The European Altair Technology Conference is expected to attract more than 500 experts in simulation technology from around the world


T


he seventh European Altair Technology Conference (EATC) will be held at the Dolce Munich Unterschleissheim from 24 to 26 June,


focusing on simulation-driven design and optimisation throughout product development. Tis annual computer-aided engineering (CAE) event is expected to draw more than 500 practitioners from across Europe and beyond, and will cover a wide variety of simulation topics, including lightweight design, multiphysics, computational fluid dynamics, lead time reduction, system simulation, crash and safety, crash and impact, structures, and noise and vibration. Te conference will begin with three


technical seminars on June 24: Altair OptiStruct for Non-Linear Analysis and Optimisation; Predicting Acoustic Behaviour with HyperWorks; and Multi-Disciplinary Optimisation (MDO) – Best Practices and Methods. At 4pm, a panel discussion entitled


Te Next Big Idea will be moderated by Boris Schmidt, who is the editor for automotive and technology topics at the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ). Tis panel is a new addition to the conference and is intended to provide a platform for the discussion of innovative ideas and projects that have the potential to impact society and the environment in a positive way. Keynote sessions delivered by Altair, its


customers and partners will kick off the morning sessions on days two and three, with dozens of customer and partner presentations scheduled on concurrent tracks. An additive layer manufacturing symposium will be held the aſternoon of June 25. In addition, an architecture, engineering and construction symposium will be offered in the late aſternoon, focused on computational design and structural optimisation. On day three, HP and Intel, platinum sponsors of the event, will jointly deliver a


Munich


keynote on high-performance computing innovation for simulation-driven design. At 11am, in parallel with various simulation tracks, the second Annual Academic and Industry Collaboration Day will focus on non-commercial applications of technology and opportunities to align these efforts with industry initiatives. l For more information and the latest copy of the agenda, visit www.altairatc.com/europe


Exhibitors lined up to show their latest wares


AlphaSTAR is a provider of physics-based simulation soſtware and services for material modelling and analysis of advanced composite materials. Since its inception in 1989, AlphaSTAR has focused on composite structures, and related innovative research and services that helped industry and government agencies overcomes mission critical challenges with complex structural systems. AlphaSTAR’s flagship product GENOA


augments FEA analysis for ‘multi-scale progressive failure analysis’ of structures made from advanced composite materials subject to static, fatigue, and impact loadings – whereas MCQ (material characterisation and qualification) composites enables ultra-rapid modelling, design, and analysis of advanced

Altair’s HyperWorks platform applies a subscription-based licensing model where customers use floating licences to access a broad suite of Altair-


developed as well as third-party soſtware applications on-demand. Te Altair Partner Alliance effectively extends the HyperWorks Platform from more than 20 internally developed solutions to upwards of 85 applications with the addition of new partner applications. Customers


can invoke these third-party applications at no incremental cost using their existing HyperWorks licenses. Customers benefit from unmatched flexibility and access, resulting in maximum soſtware utilisation, productivity and return on investment. www.altairalliance.com


On show at EATC will be the latest release of ESAComp fromComponeering. With its extensive composite materials database, tools for efficient conceptual and


preliminary design along with advanced composites post-processing integrated in HyperWorks, ESAComp offers HyperWorks
