European Engineering Firm Boosts Productivity With HyperWorks: Altair Engineering Inc., the Troy-based provider of technology and services, announced Thursday that High Modulus Europe, the UK office of a New Zealand-based supplier of composite technology and structural engineering services, has selected the HyperWorks simulation suite to enhance its composite design process. This decision is part of High Modulus' strategy to standardize its virtual composite design technology on HyperWorks tools throughout its global offices. The computer aided engineering suite and its integrated solver solution, RADIOSS, were selected because of their ease of use and ability to significantly decrease the timescales involved with complex composite structural design tasks. The HyperWorks suite and, in particular, its pre- and post-processors, solvers and optimization technologies are now being leveraged to deliver more efficient composite solutions to High Modulus' automotive, energy, architectural and general industrial clients in significantly reduced timescales.
