Altair Inspire Form 2021.2.0 | 2.6 Gb
The Altair Engineering development team is pleased to announce the availability of Inspire Form 2021.2.0. This release includes the following new features and enhancements and also fixes to various user-reported issues from the previous release, providing an overall more stable experience.
The Inspire Form 2021.2.0 release includes the following new features and enhancements.
Geometry
Extrude, Pattern, and Offset Geometry Tools
Three new geometry tools have been added that enable you to:
- Extrude sketch profiles in one or two directions. Create a new part of combine, subtract, or intersect the extruded shape with existing parts.
- Create a linear or circular pattern of parts or faces.
- Offset parts or surfaces. You can also thicken parts.
Feasibility
FE Mesh Support
FE mesh representation can now be used for model setup. The Orient and Constraint tools have been updated to work on mesh topology.
Orient
Draw direction orientation can be defined for FE mesh representation. Normal of FE mesh elements can also be selected to define draw direction.
Constraints
- The Blankholder constraint can be defined on a group of elements for FE mesh representation model setup.
- The Drawbead constraint can be defined on free and internal element edges for FE mesh representation model setup.
- The Pin constraint can be defined on free edge, internal element edge, and individual nodes for FE mesh representation model setup.
Blank Nesting
- Measure box has been added to get a better understanding of the overall size of the blank before blank fit or nesting.
- Blank can be custom rotated to user-preferred orientation before nesting to get optimal nesting pattern without rotation.
- Carrier has been added to strip layout in the report and to the layout exported as iges/dxf files.
Tryout
Gravity
- The performance of Gravity runs is improved with the solver running in MPI mode.
- Animation is supported for Gravity operation results.
Post-Processing
- Improvement has been made in performance when loading and animating large model results.
- Export formed part results in LS-DYNA format.
- Add callouts for Current and Max values in Time History Plot.
- New result types are supported:
- Delta thinning: Thinning due to deformation in the current operation only, ignoring history.
- Delta plastic strain: Thinning due to deformation in the current operation only, ignoring history.
- Curvature: Element curvature due to bending during forming. Includes principal and local values.
- Dominant deformation mode: Indicates dominant deformation mode during forming. Ranges from 0 to 1, with 0 indicating stretching, and 1 indicating bending.
Resolved Issues
The following issues have been resolved for the 2021.2 release:
- Blank shape prediction succeeding with no output has been fixed.
- Successive iterations of the blank shape predictions taking longer to run has been fixed.
- Trimming operation has been sped up when the pierce and trim boundaries are planar.
- You can now import multiple solver format mesh files

Altair Inspire Form 2021.2.0
Altair Inspire Form is a complete stamping simulation environment that can effectively be used by product designers and process engineers to optimize designs, simulate robust manufacturing and reduce material costs. With the fast and easy feasibility module, users can analyze parts in seconds to predict formability early in the product development cycle. The automated blank nesting proposes an efficient layout of the flattened blank on the sheet coil to maximize material utilization. The tryout module includes a highly scalable incremental solver, helping users to iterate and simulate multi-stage forming, trimming and springback in a modern and intuitive user interface, reducing complexity and making the production of high quality parts more economical.
Altair Inspire Form also offers an innovative user experience to seamlessly transition between design and analysis through a highly intuitive user interface designed for beginners and experts alike. It enables part and process designers to evaluate manufacturability early in the development cycle to avoid costly trials downstream. Altair Inspire Form automatically generates a report for fitted and nested blanks to help maximize material utilization
This quick video tutorial shows how to perform a manual setup in the tryout (incremental analysis) workflow.
Altair is a global technology company that provides software and cloud solutions in the areas of product development, high performance computing (HPC) and data analytics.
