Simcenter Inspire
Simcenter Inspire is the complete platform for simulation-driven design. From concept to production, it combines 3D modelling, structural, motion, and manufacturing simulations, topology optimization, and rendering in a single, intuitive, and accessible environment.
What Is Altair Inspire
Inspire is designed to bring simulation to the center of the creative process.
It enables users to create complex shapes, simulate their behavior, validate manufacturability, and optimize performance without ever leaving the workflow.
From structural analysis to 3D printing, from casting to industrial design, every decision is data-driven.
Structure
Structural Analysis
Simulate strength, stiffness, and deformation of parts and assemblies already in the early design stages. Inspire allows you to quickly and easily analyze loads and stresses on your models using integrated FEM solvers and guided setup. Get accurate results without disrupting your design workflow.
