Altair is a global leader in computational science and artificial intelligence (AI) that provides software and cloud solutions in simulation, high-performance computing (HPC), data analytics, and AI. Altair enables organizations across all industries to compete more effectively and drive smarter decisions in an increasingly connected world – all while creating a greener, more sustainable future.
Altair’s role in the MariLight project is to demonstrate how design optimisation technology can be applied to ship structures to create innovative, light-weight solutions suitable for large scale additive manufacturing.
Altair are meeting the requirements of this role through the application of Altair’s simulation driven design technology, in particular Altair Inspire. The example shown below is an early-stage concept for an equipment seat, compared to a traditional design, developed using Altair’s topology optimisation technology. The concept demonstrates the greater design flexibility afforded by additive #manufacturing, the potential of which can be fully realised through topology optimisation.
Altair intend to use the MariLight project to showcase the capabilities of their software such as Altair Inspire in the design of light-weight ship structures.
