Altair Simulation 2022 released

Published on : Tuesday 03-05-2022

Latest software updates bolster Altairs connectivity, AEC, and electronics capabilities.

Troy, Mich., May 2022 – Altair, a global leader in computational science and artificial intelligence (AI), announces the release of its latest simulation solutions, which focus on next-generation connectivity, architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC), as well as circuit board and electronic design capabilities; the release also includes a myriad of updates to Altair’s traditional solutions. The latest release includes new features and capabilities that broaden, strengthen, and further specialize Altair’s comprehensive simulation toolkit.

“The release of Simulation 2022 continues Altair’s tradition of leading in computational science and artificial intelligence,” said Sam Mahalingam, chief technology officer, Altair. “By adding more features, tools, interfaces, and workflows that let users work faster and more efficiently, we’re enabling a better and more sustainable future. Better simulation makes better, smarter products, and we’re proud to be at the forefront of tomorrow’s connected future.”

This release’s connectivity updates include features that help users simulate antennas with exceptional accuracy, get results and solve bigger problems faster, and broaden users’ toolset for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) applications. Altair Simulation 2022 supports the automation of realistic 5G envelope beam patterns and includes features like new hybrid ray-tracing patterns and rotating doppler effects for ray-based solvers.

Additionally, more connectivity features include support for improved computational performance when simulating larger, more complex antennas and their operating environment. Users will benefit from the power to better simulate full-wave antenna and array characterizations so they can reliably analyze wireless systems.

Users will also gain improved ADAS tools that can better consider sensor types like ultrasound, which increases the number of sensors that can be simulated together. Other new ADAS features include the addition of more application-specific and post-processing tools, such as frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FM-CW) radar simulations that target ADAS applications.
