Electronic System Design (ESD)
Smart connected devices are everywhere: in homes, transportation, work, and beyond. Demand for more complex electronic systems requires new solutions to achieve electronic, electrical, mechanical, thermal, and connectivity goals. Altair's simulation-driven design tools empower teams of specialized engineers to collaborate across all aspects and stages of ESD design, from chip to package to printed circuit board to system. Our products streamline your process, eliminate design iterations, reduce prototyping, and shorten time to market.
Altair SimSolid: A New Era for Electronic Simulation
Now extending our revolutionary multidisciplinary, meshless solver to PCBs and ICs — no simplifications, just absolute resolution.
PCB Development
Altair® S‑FRAME® allows civil and structural engineers to simulate the response to internal and external forces during and after construction. Regardless of geometric complexity, material type, loading conditions, or nonlinear effects, S‑FRAME analyzes structural behavior and generates reaction forces so users can optimize models while verifying compliance with regional design codes for steel, concrete, and/or multi-material structures.
Wireless Connectivity
Altair's advanced code-based design capabilities ensure users can design safe, stable, and resilient structures according to regional design codes. Design and optimize steel frame structures and composite floors with Altair® S‑STEEL™. Code check, design, and detail reinforced concrete frames, concrete slabs, concrete shear walls, and continuous concrete beams in Altair® S‑CONCRETE™'s easy-to-use design environment. Analyze and design deep and shallow foundations with Altair® S‑FOUNDATION™, and analyze and design hybrid mass timber-steel structures with Altair® S‑TIMBER™.
Product Performance
Altair® SimLab® accurately analyzes the performance of complex assemblies under real world conditions before physical prototyping. Highly automated workflows drastically reduce the time spent creating models and interpreting results. Confidently identify and correct potential design issues earlier in development with thermal analysis that doesn’t require advanced CFD knowledge. Automate structural stress, vibration, and drop test performance assessments. Optimize electric motors, taking into account the generated power, noise and thermal considerations of a design.
Sensors and Actuators
Accelerate the design of motors, sensors, actuators, and wireless charging with Altair® Flux® simulation to elevate performance and reduce power consumption. Altair® FluxMotor® is dedicated to the fast exploration of new motor concept designs. Integrate models for mechanical, electrical, and controller subsystems to simulate a full system with Altair® Twin Activate™ and exchange models to co-simulate with other CAE tools using functional mockup interface (FMI).
Circuit Simulation and Power Electronics
Circuit simulation plays a strategic role in the schematic capture phase of EDA workflows. The enhanced proprietary SPICE version, based on the open-source industry standard combined with a digital component suppliers' library, ensures accurate electronic circuit performance by providing an interactive schematic environment to explore changes to component values, tolerances, frequency response, or time periods. In addition, Altair® PSIM™ allows engineers to simulate and design power electronic systems including motor drives, power converters, and renewable energy systems.
Electrical System Visualization
Simplify and accelerate electrical system design, debugging, and servicing with Altair® EEvision™. Automatically render and visualize schematics for circuits, wire harnesses, and components based on a dynamic search of a digital twin model generated from ECAD data or other sources. Smart incremental schematic navigation and compact scenario schematics allows users to quickly investigate electrical systems, component influences, and parameters, or automatically generate up-to-date documentation whenever needed.
Embedded Code
Altair® Embed® is a proven tool for model-based firmware development of embedded systems including analog and digital communication systems at the physical layer motor control, IoT devices, and vision systems. With Embed, you can design, analyze, and simulate your embedded system using block diagrams and state charts, then automatically generate compact and optimized code to run on an extensive selection of microcontrollers.
Optimize EDA Job Scheduling
Trusted for semiconductor design and EDA, Altair® Accelerator™ is the industry’s fastest enterprise job scheduler — with scalable, event-driven architecture for highest throughput.
I/O Profiling and Monitoring
I/O profiling helps organizations determine the optimal compute environment for different types of ESD applications and resources. Altair Mistral™ is the leading application monitoring tool for HPC and scientific computing. Altair Breeze™ quickly solves software deployment problems and resolves file and network dependencies.
