What is Altair SimLab?

What is Altair SimLab?

SimLab is a process-driven multidisciplinary simulation environment to accurately analyze the performance of complex assemblies. Multiple physics, including structural, thermal, and fluid dynamics, can be easily configured using highly automated modeling tasks, helping to dramatically reduce time spent creating finite element models and interpreting results. Altair's robust, accurate, and scalable solvers can run locally, on remote servers, or in the cloud. An intuitive, self-explanatory graphical user interface covers all aspects of the modeling process. Instead of tedious geometry cleaning, the job runs directly on geometry - imported and updated through two-way CAD coupling - by defining mesh specifications for individual regions.

Why SimLab?

Multiphysics

Accurate linear and nonlinear structural, thermal, and computational fluid dynamics analyses can be performed without problems locally or in the cloud

automated

Highly efficient feature recognition algorithms, process-oriented automation models, and an intuitive graphical user interface dramatically accelerate the model construction phase

CAD coupling

Geometric modifications, part variants, and assembly upgrades are easily managed through two-way CAD coupling

Main features

Robust and repeatable simulation workflows

Increase the efficiency of simulation cycles with shareable, robust, and repeatable simulation workflows. Eliminate solid manual mesh, model configuration, solver execution, and post-processing for high accuracy and consistency across your organization.

Intuitive user environment

Solve static, dynamic, heat transfer, fluid flow and electromagnetic issues in minutes, straight from the intuitive SimLab user environment.

Live synchronization with parametric CAD

Quickly explore and evaluate on-the-fly design changes with live synchronization for popular parametric CAD systems, including CATIA, Pro/E Siemens NX, and SolidWorks.

Automation: DOE / Optimization

Automation allows easy configuration of results and convergence, DOE and optimization.

Comprehensive Solver support

A common pre- and post-processing environment with interfaces for multiple common FE solvers allows users to be versed, even when projects need to work with multiple tools.

Multiphysics

SimLab enables efficient configuration of the multidisciplinary and multiphysical problem model, including co-simulation of disciplines such as structural analysis, CFD, electromagnetic and thermal.
