Altair Unveils Altair HyperWorks 2025

Altair has released Altair HyperWorks 2025, a design and simulation platform. At the forefront is a vision of the future of product development: a zero-prototype world, where design is perfected in the virtual domain before reaching the physical world, Altair shares. The release combines artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing (HPC), and multiphysics simulation with cloud-based scalability and digital thread connectivity.

“Altair HyperWorks 2025 builds on four decades of Altair’s expertise in simulation, design, and optimization,” says James R. Scapa, founder and chief executive officer, Altair. “By integrating advanced simulation technologies with AI and machine learning, automation, open architecture, and a connected digital thread, the platform accelerates design processes, fosters scalable cloud collaboration, and empowers teams to deliver smarter, faster, and more sustainable solutions.”

AI-Powered Engineering

Altair offers AI-powered engineering, machine learning, and optimization capabilities. Physics prediction models powered by new transformer architectures deliver accurate simulations, even with limited or incomplete data, according to Altair. Machine learning models act as solvers. AI-enabled reduced order modeling (ROM) enables faster, more precise simulations of nonlinear systems.

Cloud-Based and SaaS Solutions

Altair is democratizing access to advanced engineering simulations with flexible infrastructure. The new Altair DSim SaaS solution allows semiconductor designers to run unlimited simulations with a pay-as-you-go model. The Altair One cloud innovation gateway enhances collaboration,

Automation and Customization

New automation capabilities, including Python APIs, eliminate repetitive tasks, streamline data queries, and simplify report generation, Altair reports. For large-scale projects, advanced batch execution and task libraries reduce time spent on complex workflows. The platform’s customization options allow users to tailor simulations to applications, such as modeling particle interactions in pharmaceuticals or agriculture.

Additional Highlights

Digital Engineering: A Connected Ecosystem

By connecting data, teams, and processes across the product life cycle, Altair delivers an integrated approach to design and simulation. Enhanced digital twin and digital thread technologies ensure data flow and align virtual models with physical systems. To meet sustainability goals, private material databases provide a single source of truth for material decisions, including tools for carbon dioxide (CO₂) impact analysis.

Multiphysics Simulation for Electronics

Recent updates simplify managing thermal, electromagnetic, and power interactions in electronics design. ECAD meshing improvements speed up cooling and durability analysis, while enhanced electromagnetic-thermal coupling provides better system performance predictions. Power electronics simulation updates optimize motor drive and converter modeling for improved efficiency, the company notes.
