Altair SimSolid will streamline Airbus teams
in their development of the world's first zero-emission commercial
aircraft
TROY,
Mich., Jan. 31, 2023 /CNW/ --
Altair (Nasdaq: ALTR), a global leader in computational
science and artificial intelligence (AI), announced that Airbus
Commercial has selected Altair SimSolid – the game-changing
simulation technology that performs structural analyses on fully
featured CAD assemblies within minutes – in its ZEROe global
initiative, which aims to create the world's first zero-emission
commercial aircraft.
"Altair SimSolid is the premier simulation technology for
engineers, designers, analysts, and manufacturers. It eliminates
geometry preparation and meshing, which are the two most
time-consuming, expertise-extensive, and error-prone tasks in
conventional structural simulations," said Sam Mahalingam, chief technology officer,
Altair. "Airbus choosing Altair SimSolid further solidifies Altair
as a leader in worldwide sustainability initiatives and continues
the two companies' long and fruitful history of successful
collaboration."
Altair SimSolid will save Airbus' design and engineering teams
time, money, and hassle. Altair SimSolid was selected because it
has shown that it will reduce elementary part analysis delivery
times from days to minutes, and cuts complex assembly delivery
times from several months to less than one week in some cases.
Additionally, Altair SimSolid's intuitive, easy-to-implement
operations and interface lets users work without needing to clean
geometry or prepare models beforehand. Altair SimSolid also allows
Airbus's design and engineering teams to explore more design
iterations in shorter timeframes, which will expedite project
timelines and deliver sustainable innovations quicker.
"By using Altair SimSolid, our teams can explore more
design possibilities in a simple, easy-to-implement environment,"
said Christophe Brand, head of
airframe methods and tools, Airbus Commercial. "By not requiring
our teams to clean geometries beforehand, Altair SimSolid helps us
significantly reduce delivery times and build better products. With
it, we look forward to building the future of zero-emission
aircraft technology."
The ZEROe project aims to create the world's first hydrogen
propulsion-powered commercial airline fleet and enables Airbus to
explore a variety of configurations and hydrogen technologies that
will shape the development of future zero-emission aircraft. Airbus
is working towards a mature technology readiness level for a
hydrogen-combustion propulsion system by 2025.
