Sustainability Solutions
As the world demands safer, more efficient, and more innovative products and processes, we aim to transform design and decision-making by applying simulation, machine learning, and optimization throughout product lifecycles. By helping our customers accomplish their goals, we reduce the environmental impact of goods and services around the world and across an array of industries.
Shared Infrastructure
We offer cloud-based applications that allow multiple organizations to use efficiently scaled and shared infrastructure, thus eliminating countless independent compute server installations and giving them access to a range of applications that help them design sustainably.
Lightweight Design
We enable structural optimization to inspire and refine product designs that minimize material usage and maximize performance. We allow organizations to utilize simulation-driven innovation so they can develop products, processes, and experiences rapidly in a virtual world – eliminating the carbon and waste stream impacts of physical prototypes in the process.
Operational Efficiency
We conduct high-performance computing (HPC) workload management to optimize energy usage and run time. We also support additive manufacturing and other advanced manufacturing techniques so organizations can create stellar designs developed from simulation methodologies, all at the lowest possible cost.
Material Efficiency
Engineered plastics and laminate composites offer the design freedom to the meet lightweighting and cost requirements for complex parts. High-quality plastic materials can be produced quickly and at high volume, but holistic simulation is needed to tailor materials to the individual product requirements. Altair offers a comprehensive set of engineering plastic solutions to produce innovative plastic parts quickly and reliably.
Additive manufacturing (AM) isn’t just for rapid prototyping, research projects, and advanced engineering teams. It is now a viable production solution, and Altair provides a robust simulation toolchain to support production designs created specifically for AM.

Reducing is Better than Recycling
Reducing carbon dioxide emissions while meeting the 21st century's economic goals calls for the broad adoption of simulation-driven design, a method that identifies high-potential designs earlier in development cycles. Designers and engineers can use structural optimization technology to minimize material usage and improve performance, which creates longer-lasting products that require fewer resources to manufacture and operate.

Built for the Future - SOM Achieves Sustainability Objectives Through Innovative Design
Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) is a renowned global architectural, urban planning, and engineering firm. Known for some of the world’s most technically and environmentally advanced buildings, SOM applies creativity and emerging technologies to design buildings for the future. SOM designed the new United States Courthouse in Downtown Los Angeles to be an open and transparent public space, while also constantly considering the materials used in the project and the project's environmental footprint. The structural design specialists at SOM used Altair OptiStruct to generate an ideal project plan that considered sustainable regulations and manufacturing constraints.
Guide to Accelerating e-Mobility to Realization
The electric mobility revolution is ready to go mainstream. OEMs, suppliers, and emerging vehicle manufacturers are investing billions to develop innovative electric vehicles and optimize development and production processes to deliver e-mobility to the masses. For companies to realize their goals of achieving mass adoption and profitability, we see simulation technology as the cornerstone of any e-mobility strategy. Whether updating existing vehicle design processes to go electric or developing a new program from the ground up, it can be challenging to identify the technology required and ensure these tools work harmoniously to model the complexities of the vehicle’s interconnected systems. In this guide, we set out to help electric vehicles manufacturers build a comprehensive technology stack, develop a sustainable design process, and deploy manufacturing operations that scale to meet growing demand.
Accelerating R&D in the Cloud
Materials designers and developers are constantly working to improve existing materials and create new ones that will allow us to interact with our world and explore in ways that weren't possible before. Because being first counts in the race to materials innovation, Altair enabled a leading materials manufacturer to accelerate product development in the cloud.
