Altair launches the HyperWorks Durability Director - Durability Simulation Management Solution

Highly tailored, customizable and process-oriented environment for efficiently managing durability analysis.

TROY, Mich - Altair Engineering announced today that it has launched the HyperWorks Durability Director. Deeply integrated with HyperWorks CAE platform, Durability Director is a highly tailored, end-to-end solution for managing the many different aspects of durability simulation. This includes duty cycle specification, system-level testing, component analysis, fatigue simulation and specialized post-processing.

“Durability analyses span multiple analysis domains. Managing information across these different domains is quite labor intensive and errors are common”, said Rajiv Rampalli, Vice President Software Development, Altair Engineering. “Our goal is to allow engineers to focus on improving their product by eliminating error-prone manual interventions. Durability Director achieves this by providing a single, comprehensive environment to simplify, standardize, customize and automate the durability process. In addition, Durability Director is integrated with Altair’s PBS Works on-demand computing software suite to increase the efficiency of submitting jobs to and retrieving results from remote HPC systems. We are confident that Durability Director will enable customers to become more agile by solving their durability problems more reliably while simultaneously increasing the consistency of results throughout the enterprise. Durability Director is unique in this regard.”

Altair has established itself as one of the leading CAE companies in the world. From being providers of meshing and optimization tools, Altair has matured into a strategic supplier of enterprise CAE solutions that include easy-to-use modeling environments, state-of-the-art solvers and powerful post-processors. The creation of new domain-specific solutions focused on improving client engineering processes is yet another way in which Altair is providing superior value to its customers.
