Altair HyperShape/CATIA Design Optimization Technology for the CATIA V5 Community HyperShape/CATIA is a direct integration between Dassault Systèmes CATIA V5 design environment and Altair's OptiStruct design optimization technology. HyperShape/CATIA generates structurally optimal design concepts from supplied packaging information, loads, constraints and required product performance. Typically used before CAD design, HyperShape/CATIA helps CATIA V5 designers develop lightweight, high-performance design proposals. With this technology, companies can achieve product and business objectives considerably faster than conventional design practices.
