Altair, a global leader in computational intelligence, has released Altair® HyperWorks® 2025, a best-in-class design and simulation platform for solving the world’s most complex engineering challenges. At the forefront of this release is a vision of the future of product development: a zero-prototype world, where design is perfected in the virtual domain before reaching the physical world.
Altair’s HyperWorks® 2025 design and simulation platform assists engineers in solving complex engineering challenges.
By combining the power of artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing (HPC), and multiphysics simulation with cloud-based scalability and digital thread connectivity, Altair HyperWorks 2025 is a simulation platform that opens new possibilities for innovation.
“Altair HyperWorks 2025 builds on four decades of Altair’s expertise in simulation, design, and optimisation,” said James R Scapa, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Altair. “By integrating advanced simulation technologies with AI and machine learning, automation, open architecture, and a connected digital thread, the platform accelerates design processes, enables scalable cloud collaboration, and empowers teams to deliver smarter, faster, and more sustainable solutions. It is another leap in our vision of democratised computational intelligence.”
AI-powered engineering and optimisation
Altair continues to lead with its AI-powered engineering, machine learning, and optimisation capabilities. Physics prediction models powered by new transformer architectures deliver accurate simulations, even with limited or incomplete data. Machine learning models act as solvers, cutting simulation times and improving reliability. AI-enabled reduced order modelling (ROM) enables faster, more precise simulations of nonlinear systems, providing insights early in the design process.
Cloud-based and SaaS solutions
Embracing the shift to cloud-based and SaaS solutions, Altair is democratising access to advanced engineering simulations with flexible infrastructure. The new Altair® DSim™ SaaS solution allows semiconductor designers to run unlimited simulations with a pay-as-you-go model, eliminating upfront costs and offering the freedom to scale on demand. The Altair One® cloud innovation gateway enhances collaboration, providing instant access to simulation applications, data, and HPC resources.
Automation and customisation
New automation capabilities, including Python APIs, eliminate repetitive tasks, streamline data queries, and simplify report generation. For large-scale projects, advanced batch execution and task libraries reduce time spent on complex workflows. The platform’s customisation options allow users to tailor simulations to unique applications, such as modelling particle interactions in pharmaceuticals or agriculture.
Digital engineering
By connecting data, teams, and processes across the product life cycle, Altair delivers a more integrated approach to design and simulation. Enhanced digital twin and digital thread technologies ensure seamless data flow and align virtual models with physical systems. To meet sustainability goals, private material databases provide a ‘single source of truth’ for material decisions, including tools for carbon dioxide (CO₂) impact analysis.
