April 2026 Special Focus Issue: Generative Design
In this Special Focus Issue, Digital Engineering takes a look at how generative design solutions can be used across different types of design problems and with a variety of manufacturing approaches to accelerate design space exploration, and…
Electrum utilizes the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud to develop their new electric motorcycle
Electrum, a new brand of electric motorcycles, utilizes the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Their mission is to support Indonesia’s shift to low-carbon, sustainable transport and to ultimately help the country’s government achieve its vision of net…
This week, Altair released HyperWorks 2019, a new version of its simulation software suite that addresses model-based systems design, early concept design, detailed multiphysics simulation, optimization, and more.
For this release, the company says it worked hard to refine the user interface, to satisfy both the expert and the part-time analysts.
HyperWorks 2019 includes HyperLife, a solution to simulate and study fatigue-related events, and predict potential failures.
There's also a new meshing workflow with HyperMesh X for geometry creation, editing, morphing, and meshing.
The company also plans to incorporate the technology from SIMSOLID, acquired in October 2019, into its designer-friendly software offerings.
Also noteworthy is MotionSolve, a multibody system simulation program. Altair’s generative design software Altair Inspire has a Motion module.
If you think GPUs for workstations are unaffordable, AMD might change your mind. Recently, AMD announced the Radeon Pro WX 3200, a small form-factor GPU for CAD users, priced $199.
The Radeon Pro GPU line targets people who use SolidWorks, CATIA, Creo, and other industry standard 3D modeling software. Workstations with this GPU will be offered by AMD partners, including Boxx, Dell, and HP, in the third quarter of this year.
AMD also offers Radeon ProRender, a rendering program that takes full advantage of the AMD GPUs. It includes AI-based denoising, and support for AR/VR content creation and viewing. The renderer is free, available as a plug-in to most CAD programs.
This year, SIGGRAPH is set to take place in Los Angeles, from July 28-August.
The organizers have just announced that the show will tackle AI and ethnics in games, among others.
There’ll be a panel called The Ethical and Privacy Implications of Mixed Reality, where speakers will discuss the dilemmas of balancing self-sovereign identity, biometric data, and AR powered by the cloud.
Altair transforms design and decision making by applying simulation, machine learning, and optimization throughout product lifecycles. Altair offers software in five categories related to Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) and High Performance…
Accelerating and Advancing CAE
GPUs are changing the nature of engineering simulation, according to a new ebook from Jon Peddie Research (JPR). It explains how GPU acceleration is improving CAE workflows.
