It enables the teams to optimize wireless connectivity.

Wireless Connectivity

Altair® Feko® enables teams to optimize wireless connectivity, including 5G, ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and perform radar cross section (RCS) and scattering analysis. It is the leading tool for understanding and optimizing antenna placement and coupling. Installed antenna performance is heavily dependent on how and where antennas are integrated. Feko is extensively used for immunity and emissions analysis of cables, antennas, and other devices. It simulates wireless coverage and enables radio network planning for a building, campus, city, or region.

Automating the structural stress, vibration, and drop test performance assessments.

Product Performance

Altair® SimLab® accurately analyzes the performance of complex assemblies under real world conditions before physical prototyping. Highly automated workflows drastically reduce the time spent creating models and interpreting results. Confidently identify and correct potential design issues earlier in development with thermal analysis that doesn’t require advanced CFD knowledge. Automate structural stress, vibration, and drop test performance assessments. SimLab even models fiber orientation during the injection molding process of plastic enclosures and manages structural solver coupling.
