Altair Hyperworks - A Platform for Innovation™


Composites Simulation and Optimization

Altair offers the most complete set of professional tools for composite finite element analysis.

These methods are all integrated into Altair’s leading optimization framework, allowing the many advantages of composites to be fully realized without going through an exhaustive design process:

  • Develop concepts designs in less time: Composite design synthesis to design the optimal composite lay-up structure that minimizes weight and maximizes strength

  • Analyze your designs quickly: Composite detailed analysis that includes a complete Composite Modeling and Analysis environment for a number of commercial FEA solvers

  • Test your designs for impact durability: Composite impact damage modeling that provides sophisticated numerical methods to predict fiber and matrix failure, delamination, rupture, and crack propagation.


Take the guesswork out of composite design, and know your design is optimal, using the composite simulation tools in HyperWorks.
