Altair Gets New Reseller In UK

Troy-based Altair Engienering Inc. said Monday that the English engineering technology provider Intrinsys has joined the Altair  HyperWorks channel partner program to resell Altair's CATIA V5 integrated optimization technology, HyperShape/CATIA, to the United Kingdom design and engineering community.

HyperShape/CATIA is a direct integration between Dassault Systemes' CATIA V5 solution and Altair's award-winning design optimization technology, OptiStruct. The integrated solution helps frontload the development process with optimization technology to assist companies in achieving the demands of modern product design. This includes: reducing mass, minimizing material content, liberating designs with novel and optimal topology, as well as enabling non finite-element experts, such as CAD engineers working with CATIA, to develop structurally efficient, high-performance products in reduced timescales. HyperShape/CATIA consistently delivers dramatic improvements in design performance and allows companies to achieve product and business objectives considerably faster than conventional development methods.

"Altair's HyperShape/CATIA technology is the perfect addition to our software product line for CATIA clients who are under increasing pressure to remove weight and material from their designs and improve product performance, saving both time and money," said Darren Cairns, Director of Intrinsys.

"Intrinsys is a highly respected PLM services provider to the CATIA community and through its sister company, Integral Powertrain, is a recognized practitioner of best-practice powertrain engineering," said Maurice Linscott, Altair UK Regional Managing Director. "Enabling structural optimization earlier in the design process, before the definition of restrictive topology, is essential to ensure the development of optimal designs which meet or exceed the performance targets with the lowest product cost. We are confident that Altair's collaboration with Intrinsys will assist UK designers in achieving and exceeding their product performance and business objectives."
