Altair's Product Direction - HyperWorks Vision

Paolo Sansalvadore

Sr Vice President, Altair Engineering

November 8th 2011


Altair’s Vision

Simulation, predictive analytics and optimization

leveraging high performance computing for

engineering and business decision making


Let Engineers be Engineers

• Get things done easily and quickly

• Collaborate across the enterprise

• Automate the most tedious CAE processes

• Get maximum flexibility through the open-architecture approach

“…at the end of the day it’s all about the little features

that initially you wouldn’t have even known you

needed, but actually now you can’t do without.”

Graham Elliott, Senior Engineer – Bombardier Aerospace
