Description

When utilized early in the product development process, Inspire enhances the creation, optimization, and examination of innovative and structurally efficient components and assemblies through collaborative efforts. Its award-winning interface for geometry creation and modification can be mastered within just a few hours, all while providing the robust power of Altair solvers. The structural analysis capabilities, validated by NAFEMS, allow for swift and accurate evaluations using Altair® SimSolid®, making it possible to analyze extensive assemblies and intricate parts. Additionally, it offers dynamic motion simulation and load extraction through the trusted multi-body systems analysis of Altair® MotionSolve®. Furthermore, Altair® OptiStruct® sets the industry benchmark for structural efficiency with its topology optimization, facilitating generative design that yields practical and manufacturable geometries. Inspire empowers both simulation analysts and designers to conduct what-if analyses more quickly and easily, fostering an environment of collaboration and innovation. This approach not only enhances productivity but also encourages teams to explore a wider range of design possibilities earlier in the development cycle.

Description

AutoCAD® is a versatile computer-aided design (CAD) software utilized by architects, engineers, and construction specialists to produce meticulous 2D and 3D drawings, featuring time-saving toolsets along with web and mobile applications. With capabilities to draft, annotate, and design both 2D geometries and 3D models—including solids, surfaces, and mesh objects—AutoCAD streamlines workflow by automating tasks like drawing comparisons, block additions, and schedule creations. Users can enhance their experience through customizable add-on applications and APIs, and the software is equipped with industry-specific functionalities and intelligent objects tailored for fields such as architecture, mechanical engineering, and electrical design. The platform simplifies the creation of floor plans, sections, and elevations while allowing for quick drawing of piping, ducting, and circuiting through comprehensive parts libraries. Additionally, it auto-generates annotations, layers, schedules, lists, and tables, thereby fostering efficiency. To ensure compliance with industry standards, AutoCAD employs a rules-driven workflow, making it an invaluable tool for professionals. Ultimately, its extensive features enable users to tackle complex design projects with greater ease and precision.
