New Features, Videos
MotionSolve - Durability & Comfort Simulations
Our goal was to help engineers developing ground vehicles to determine fatigue life of components and improve driver comfort. Vehicle-specific simulation events have been added or streamlined to closely mimic standard physical tests performed in a lab (such as with N-post shakers) or on a test track.
New Features, Videos
MotionSolve Examples Library
The MotionSolve examples library has been added to provide users with resources to learn MotionSolve on real world type models.
New Features, Videos
MotionSolve - General Machinery Solutions
Our goal was to help users more easily build and simulate complex systems. To this end, we have added a library of higher-level modeling elements including cables, pulleys, and winches; linear actuators, struts, & rods; as well as gears and cams – obviating the need for users to separately define parts, markers, and joints for these elements.
New Features, Videos
MotionSolve - Generic Modeling Improvements
Many other enhancements in this release were designed to enable users to assemble and solve models to evaluate product behavior much faster, especially for vehicle simulations.
New Features, Videos
MotionSolve - System Design Solutions
Much of the MotionSolve and MotionView multi-body modeling and simulation technology has been incorporated into Inspire Motion to enable system design closely tied to 3D CAD geometry.

New Features, Videos
Altair HyperStudy Bubbles Plot
Bubble plots can be used to view additional information in a scatter plot window.
New Features, Videos
Altair HyperStudy FAST Fit Method and Lookup Model Type
FAST automatically builds the best fitting functions. To accomplish this, HyperStudy is automatically testing all the methods available and their settings to figure out the most appropriate method to obtain the best quality fit for each approximated function.
New Features, Videos
Altair HyperStudy Model Linking
Workflow and user interface changes have been made to the Model Resources dialog to streamline the experience by providing a clearer visual representation of the run’s directory structure. This will make setup and review more intuitive.
New Features, Videos
Altair HyperStudy System Reliability Optimization (SRO) Method
System Reliability Optimization (SRO) is a new, highly efficient reliability based design optimization (RBDO) method. This new method requires a reduced number of runs, and allows reliability constraints to be applied to not just the individual failure constraints but to the overall system reliability.

New Features, Videos
Altair HyperLife Creating Fatigue Events
The Load Map tool serves as a typical Signal processing utility where you can import repetitive load history files. You can also create a simple constant amplitude or block loading cycles with a single click.
New Features, Videos
Altair HyperLife Fatigue Modules Selection
A collated icon enables you to choose the type of fatigue analysis to be run.
New Features, Videos
Altair HyperLife Material Assignment
The Material tool allows you to create, store, and manage the Fatigue material property assigned to parts. This tool is preloaded with a library of Fatigue material properties, from which you can choose from. You can also load materials from your own database or create new materials in the session.
New Features, Videos
Altair HyperLife Stress Life Analysis
Uniaxial and Multiaxial assessment options with multiple Mean stress correction theories. Various stress combination methods are available for Uniaxial assessment. Critical plane implementation for Multiaxial assessment.
New Features, Videos
Altair HyperLife Seam Weld Fatigue Analysis
Structural stress method implementation for Seam welds idealized with plate or shell elements. The approach is based on VOLVO method. Supported weld type is FILLET weld and the weld lines (root and toe) are automatically identified.
