A simulating time in Paris


T


he 8th European Altair Technology conference, to be held at the Cité des Sciences, Paris, 29 September to 1 October 2015, will focus upon


innovation intelligence, simulation-driven design, system simulation, HPC topics, CAE in the Cloud and optimisation, throughout the entire product development process in all industries. Tis annual computer-aided engineering


(CAE) event is expected to draw over 600 practitioners from across Europe and beyond, and will cover a wide variety of simulation topics, including lightweight design, composites, additive manufacturing, multi-disciplinary optimisation, multiphysics, CFD, lead time reduction, system simulation, crash and safety, NVH and much more. Te conference will begin with several


technical seminars and the Academic User Day, including a broad poster session, on 29 September, followed by the exhibition opening at 6.30 pm in the exhibition area of the conference centre. In the exhibition accompanying the conference, 30 partners of the company will present their solutions to the audience.


Airbus Defence and Space will present its STRENGTH2000 framework, which is commercially available via Altair during the EATC this year. STRENGTH2000 analyses the strength


reserve factors and supports the structural sizing of metallic and composite aircraſt structures. Historically, STRENGTH2000 was an in-house tool of Airbus Defence and Space, which had been primarily used to analyse and size the centre fuselages of Eurofighter and Tornado. Furthermore Premium Aerotec is applying STRENGTH2000 for components of the A400M, the A380 and other Airbus aircraſt. Major benefits of the tool are the quality


assurance and the reduced time and resource requirements for the airframe development. Te long-term availability and configuration


32 SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING WORLD Keynote sessions delivered by Altair, its


customers and partners will kick off the conference sessions on days two and three, followed by various symposiums and tech presentation sessions with more than 60 customer and partner presentations, scheduled on concurrent tracks in the aſternoons. Keynote presentations come from renowned companies such as: Jaguar Land Rover, Hyundai Kia Motors, Alstom, Rolo Bikes, ARUP, Airbus Helicopters, TyssenKrupp Elevator Innovation,


control of the soſtware and the analysis data are also essential in order to provide support for the maintenance and upgrades during decades of in-service operation. www.altair.com


Alphastar has a 25 year track record of providing soſtware and services to private & government organisations. Alphastar’s flagship product, Genoa, is a state of the art structural analysis code that complements traditional finite element solvers by providing multi- scale progressive failure analysis of advanced composite structures subject to static, fatigue, and impact loadings. Alphastar’s premier material modelling


soſtware, MCQ, is a set of tools that use a unit cell approach for the effective calibration of


Robert Roe looks at some of the software and services that will be on display at the Altair European Technology Conference


Ford, Volkswagen, RUAG Space, Volvo Car, PSA Peugeot Citroën, Renault Nissan and others. In addition Altair will present its solutions


at the company’s booth in the exhibition area during exhibition times on all three days. Te booth presentations will focus on HyperWorks 14, the latest version of Altair’s CAE suite, and offer demo spots about system simulation, design for additive manufacturing, solver solutions, CAE in the Cloud and much more. www.altairatc.com/europe


material properties of constituents systems without requiring finite element modelling. Together, Genoa and MCQ have helped


technical professionals overcome critical challenges related to aerospace, automotive, wind energy, oil and gas, marine and civil infrastructure. Today, Alphastar is a leader in the simulation and analyses of short fibre, compressive overwrapped pressure vessels and large scale additive manufacturing. From light-weighting to hydrogen vehicles to 3D printing, Alphastar is ready to ensure that your simulation analysis delivers results. www.alphastarcorp.com
