French aerospace firm picks Troy's Altair HyperWorks software: Paris-based Lisi Aerospace, a manufacturer of fasteners and assembly components for aeronautics, has chosen the HyperWorks simulation platform from Troy-based Altair Engineering to reduce the time needed to develop new fastener systems. Said Antoine Villet, fininte element analysis simulation engineer at Lisi: "HyperWorks modeling and visualization solutions, HyperMesh and HyperView, best suited our needs allowing us to model our components more accurately and faster. The open architecture of the software family is an additional plus since it allows us to use our component models with any type of solver that might be required." Lisi Aerospace aggressively pursues using more simulation throughout their development processes. With their selection of HyperWorks, they will use HyperMesh to streamline the creation of finite element models to support their forging simulation processes. The broad range of HyperMesh algorithms for surface and volume meshing will help to drive future development activities at Lisi Aerospace. HyperView, the HyperWorks post-processing solution, will be used for results visualization and automating reporting tasks. Built on a foundation of design optimization, performance data management and process automation, HyperWorks is an enterprise simulation solution for rapid design exploration and decision-making. As the most comprehensive, open-architecture CAE solution in the industry, HyperWorks includes best-in-class modeling, analysis, visualization and data management solutions for linear and non-linear, structural optimization, fluid-structure interaction, and multi-body dynamics applications.
