Altair Releases HyperWorks Unlimited on Amazon Web Services

Altair has launched HyperWorks Unlimited - Virtual (HWUL-V) for Amazon Web Services. The platform integrates unlimited use of HyperWorks with PBS Professional, a high-performance computing (HPC) workload manager. It is also adding application-aware portals for HPC access and remote visualization of Big Data.

The solution, according to the company, enables organizations to manage the entire simulation lifecycle on the cloud. HWUL-V is to be offered in all Amazon Web Services regions globally, including the U.S., Europe, Brazil, Japan, Singapore and Australia.

“Leveraging HPC for CAE has historically been restricted to those with significant resources and access to expensive hardware," said Sam Mahalingam, chief technical officer of Altair. "HyperWorks Unlimited - Virtual eliminates the need to build and support information technology infrastructure to support HPC. This solution provides access to a wealth of highly accurate solvers that enable engineers to simulate a broad range of physics, along with a world-class workload manager, remote data visualization, and data management, making infinite design exploration affordable, simple and convenient."

The company is demonstrating the technology at the re:Invent global AWS user conference in Las Vegas from November 11 to 14.
