Altair HWDesktop – Unified CAE Pre and Post Processing Workspace

Altair HWDesktop Overview

Altair HyperWorks is one of the most complete open architecture tools for finite element modeling. It is an Integrated Interface for Engineering Analysis Workflows.

Altair HWDesktop Features

• HyperWorks streamlines FE modeling and visualization by combining the capabilities of HyperMesh and HyperView into a single solution. In addition, significant visual enhancements have helped create an even easier-to-use interface.
• HyperMesh has expanded its meshing capabilities for acoustics applications, and now includes the ability to visualize shell and beam models in 3D.
• HyperWorks also now includes new collaboration tools that enable collaboration across boundaries. These updates, tightly integrated with HyperWorks applications, provide an intuitive experience for managing personal and shared data and processes without leaving the familiar HyperWorks environment.
