What is Altair AlphaCell?

AlphaCell is a complete and accurate TMM/FTMM solution used to simulate the acoustic vibro response of multiple-layer finishes under various excites (overhead layer, structure, turbulent boundary layer).

Based on an intuitive interface, AlphaCell presents a material database, a project management for simulations, a customizable generation of PDF reports of simulations, an export / import of data to FE formats.

Key features and benefits

Intuitive interface

The AlphaCell graphical user interface is designed to be very intuitive for the customer to focus on their work and make AlphaCell look like no other scientific software.

Extended material database

AlphaCell has an extended material database and cutting-edge forecasting models. The materials covered are foam and fibrous materials, perforated plates, heterogeneous composites and viscoelastic materials.

Export to FE

AlphaCell provides export capabilities for various FEA and SEA simulation tools, including OptiStruct, Coustyx, Actran/Nastran, and SEAM.

Results interpretation assistant

A wizard is included in Alphacell to help the user interpret the results with respect to the control of physical phenomena.

Arbitrary data format import

AlphaCell can import data (frequency, reflection coefficient, impedance, transmission loss) from arbitrary text format for a point-to-point comparison between imported and simulated data

Composite sound absorption and TL

AlphaCell includes a tool to quickly estimate sound absorption or transmission loss for corrected material arrangements.

Fully programmable

AlphaCell is fully scriptable and can be run from a command-line interface to perform parametric background studies.

Industrial Applications

AlphaCell can be used anywhere you need to design acoustic treatments and predict the impact of multiple-layer finishes on a system's NVH response. It can be used for applications in the following areas: Automotive, Aeronautics, Aerospace, Heavy Industry, Architecture, Appliances or External Surfaces.

Product interfaces

AlphaCell has interfaces with Altair's HyperMesh and OptiStruct.
