Altair Engineering has released the first version of its HyperWorks computer-aided engineering software suite designed to run on Mac OS X. The Mac version offers the same CAE capabilities and user interface as the original Windows and Linux versions of HyperWorks, but it enables users to capitalize on the Macs advanced memory management system, robust platform and fast, Unix-based operating system.
According to the company, while Windows-based systems have some tools available that can mimic a Unix-like environment, they often come with limitations to their capabilities, especially when working with large files. HyperWorks for Mac offers more flexibility to users, who now can use their platform of choice for their CAE analysis.
Scientists comprise another important user group that will be able to take advantage of HyperWorks running on the Mac, since much of their work is designed and executed on Mac computers. The new software version also makes CAE more accessible to a broader range of computer-aided design professionals conceiving products largely on Mac systems.
Altair will also offer enhanced mobility through several iOS apps currently under development.
