Altair OptiStruct


OptiStruct is an award-winning CAE technology for conceptual design synthesis and structural optimization





Altair OptiStruct 9.0 New Feature Highlights

Equivalent Static Load Method (ESLM)

  • Enables optimization of flexible body multi-body dynamics problems undergoing transient loads
  • Utilize free-size, topography, size, free-shape, shape and material design variables in the optimization study

    Free shape manufacturing constraints

  • Account for assembly considerations
  • Incorporate packaging limits while optimizing a design with automatic generation of shape variables and prevent fouling and part interference
    Free size manufacturing constraints

  • Realistic laminate definition through the new STACK and PLY cards
  • Incorporate realistic manufacturing constraints through methods of controlling thicknesses of each ply, defining dependant ply thicknesses and constant (non-design) thickness of a ply

    Material optimization

    Identify the optimal material grade for a desired application. Determine the optimal Young’s Modulus or density to best suit the in-service product requirements. Additionally, other structural material properties can be defined as design variables

    OSSmooth – Autobead, geometry smoothing

    Automatic bead interpretation from topography optimization results
