Let’s Talk About Implicit Modeling
After a busy week at Formnext 2025, where implicit modeling was once again the talk of the show, we caught up with Wesley Essink, a key member of the Altair® Inspire™ team. He helped us debunk some modeling myths and shares his insights into the benefits of modern engineering design, as illustrated by a recent design-development…
Machinery Design for Food and Beverage Processes: How to Meet the Challenges
Food processing is a mammoth global industry reliant on chains of machines performing individual and different tasks as the foodstuff progresses along the production line. Whether producing coffee beans, milk powder, or chewing gum, today’s designers of food processing lines are facing challenges of rising material costs and uncertain availability, increased automation and digitalization, skills gaps, meeting food safety regulations,…
AI-Based Lightweighting Saves Billions of Dollars – Altair® PhysicsAI™ Drives Speed, Savings, and Sustainability for Consumer-Packaged Goods
Kinetic Visions’ consumer packaged goods (CPG) customers face constant pressure to reduce packaging costs and improve sustainability metrics without compromising on performance. However, traditional finite element analysis (FEA) studies are time and resource-intensive, often requiring weeks or months to arrive at optimum designs. This limits the ability of packaging engineers to explore alternative geometries at-scale. Kinetic…
Digital Debunking: Doc Brown’s Survival in Back to the Future
On a fictional morning of November 5th, 1955 (or October 26th, 1985, depending on your point of view) Marty McFly made his time traveling debut. Now stuck in the past, he enlists the help of Doc Brown, soon-to-be inventor of his time machine, and his “then” teenage parents to fix his broken timeline and send him…

Increasing Efficient Medical Device and Implant Design
Millions of people rely on medical devices to improve and protect their daily living. Whether it’s an injector or an implant, these devices are transformative, making it imperative that they are designed with safety and cost-effectiveness in mind. For businesses, device performance, regulatory compliance, and time to market are essential for success. Thus, organizations must look to silico modeling to…
High-performance Computing Speeds Up Optimization Processes for Tailor Rolled Blanks at Mubea
OEMs and suppliers include every possible technique to support lightweighting in the automotive industry. It is common to use optimization techniques in order to identify and tab existing lightweight potentials as well as design tailor rolled components in a vehicle, the design optimization of which is normally based on crash simulations. Due to the large size of these simulations, a…

Altair One & NVIDIA GPUs on Azure: Accelerating CAE Simulation
Computer-aided engineering (CAE) is essential to modern manufacturing. As designs become more sophisticated, engineers must simulate larger assemblies, apply finer meshes, and account for complex physics interactions, including computational fluid dynamics (CFD), structural mechanics, heat transfer, and electromagnetics (EM).
