Diehl Aviation has signed a multi-year agreement appointing Altair as its preferred strategic computer-aided engineering (CAE) supplier. The agreement sees Altair’s OptiStruct package serve as the primary solver for structural justification and certification, AcuSolve as the solver for CFD, and the HyperWorks suite for modeling and visualization.
“With our decision [to use] OptiStruct as our primary structural solver for justification and verification we aim to meet the current and future needs of our growing CAE user base, while at the same time aligning with our single CAE supplier consolidation strategy,” stated Veit Thomas, head of stress, weight and simulation at Diehl Aviation.
