HyperWorks Solvers 2017.2.3 Release Notes:

OptiStruct 2017.2.3 Release Notes:
Highlights
Altair OptiStruct is an industry proven, modern structural analysis solver for linear and non-linear mechanical problems under static, dynamic, and thermal loads. It is the market-leading solution for structural design and optimization. Based on finite-element and multibody dynamics technology, and through advanced analysis and optimization algorithms, OptiStruct helps designers and engineers rapidly develop innovative, lightweight and structurally efficient designs. OptiStruct is used by thousands of companies worldwide to analyze and optimize structures and mechanical systems for strength, durability, noise and vibrations, heat transfer, as well as impact.
The major items for the OptiStruct release are:
- Stabilization in Nonlinear Static Analysis
- Energy output for Small Displacement Nonlinear Analysis
- Contact pressure optimization response
- Gasket pressure optimization response
RADIOSS 2017.2.3 Release Notes:
Highlights
- Version 2017.2.3 of RADIOSS fixes critical issues detected in 2017.2.2 release and includes some enhancements.

MotionSolve 2017.2.3 Release Notes:
Highlights
MotionSolve is a state-of-the-art multibody solver available in HyperWorks. It has a complete set of modeling elements and powerful numerical methods to support a full set of analysis methods. The accuracy, speed and robustness of MotionSolve has been validated through extensive testing withcustomer models and test data. MotionSolve also offers unmatched compatibility with ADAMS/Solver input. In version 2017.2.3, MotionSolve brings enhancements and bug-fixes to the existing capabilities

HyperXtrude 2017.2.3 Release Notes:
Highlights
Altair HyperXtrude is a suite of finite element solvers for simulating metal extrusion, polymer extrusion, metal rolling, friction stir welding, billet forging, and resin transfer molding processes. It has process specific features for each of these processes and supported with an easy use interface for setting up model data.

About Altair HyperWorks. Altair HyperWorks is the most comprehensive, open architecture CAE simulation platform in the industry, offering the best technologies to design and optimize high performance, weight efficient and innovative products. HyperWorks includes best-in-class modeling, linear and nonlinear analyses, structural and system-level optimization, fluid and multi-body dynamics simulation, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), multiphysics analysis, model-based development, and data management solutions.

About Altair HyperWorks Solvers. HyperWorks Solvers is a collection of finite element and multibody dynamics solvers for structural, fluid-dynamics and systems simulation. These solvers can be employed for simulation driven design as well as design optimization.

With the 13.0 release, a renaming of our structural solver products has taken place in order to accommodate the growing trend of applying optimization technologies more intensively in the product development process, instead of just single run analysis. Moving forward, our structural and thermal analysis and optimization product for linear and non-linear events will be called OptiStruct; this includes analysis disciplines such as linear and non-linear statics, noise and vibrations and thermal analysis. Our product for highly-nonlinear, typically transient events such as crash, impact, forming or blast analysis will be RADIOSS. Both codes are developed with a strong focus on the above mentioned disciplines, and will continue to leverage technology mutually. OptiStruct will continue to leverage the widely used bulk data input format, and RADIOSS will continue to use the well suited block format. Moving forward, OptiStruct will also serve as the general framework for optimization involving multiple physics incl ding CFD and FSI with AcuSolve and multi-body dynamics with MotionSolve, and will also offer API to integrate additional solvers and solutions within a general multi-model framework.

About Altair. Altair is focused on the development and broad application of simulation technology to synthesize and optimize designs, processes and decisions for improved business performance. Privately held with more than 2,000 employees, Altair is headquartered in Troy, Michigan, USA and operates more than 45 offices throughout 22 countries. Today, Altair serves more than 5,000 corporate clients across broad industry segments.
