AI-powered Simulation and Generative Design

As the pace of innovation accelerates, the use

of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine
learning (ML) is becoming standard practice.
Altair, a leader in generative design and AI,
enables teams to discover actionable insights,
speed up design, and accelerate product
development.
AI-powered Simulation and Generative Design Technologies
Altair® physicsAI™, Altair® expertAI™, Altair® shapeAI™, and Altair® romAI™ technologies unlock limitless
potential for gaining insights, accelerating predictions, and improving engineering decisions. With seamless
integration into Altair® HyperWorks® products, they deliver unparalleled AI-powered simulation and
generative design capabilities.

Predicting Physics with Emulating Experts with

Altair® physicsAI™
Altair’s physicsAI delivers fast physics predictions
by learning from your historical data. Accessible
through HyperWorks, the world’s leading CAE
environment, this AI-powered simulation and
design technology trains models using any existing
simulations including those from older design
concepts, similar parts, or different programs. Free
Altair® expertAI™
Capturing the career design engineer’s
accumulated application expertise is invaluable for
automated design optimization. However, some
expertise involves subjective design criteria such
as product aesthetics that is not easily translated
into quantitative assessment. These subjective
design requirements are traditionally handled by a
from the limits of parametric studies, physicsAI
operates directly on 3D meshes or CAD. By
leveraging modern, geometric deep learning,
physicsAI learns the relationship between
geometry and performance for any physics. Once
trained, physicsAI models deliver predictions that
are up to 100x faster than traditional solvers,
enabling teams to evaluate more concepts and
make better design decisions.

human-in-the-loop, which is incompatible with the
automatic design optimization process. Altair’s
expertAI technology solves this by training and
deploying classification models to emulate experts
and account for any subjective design criteria.
Altair’s expertAI technology applies to
manufacturing simulation for any physics including
stamping, casting, computational fluid dynamics
(CFD), electromagnetics, topology optimization
result selection, design look and feel, and more.
OEMs leverage expertAI for a variety of use cases.
BMW is using it to find optimal designs that meet
both KPI requirements and subjective criteria such
as crash kinematics behavior.

High-Fidelity Modeling Made
Easy with Altair® shapeAI™

HyperWorks offers AI for product design through

its integrated shapeAI technology. Easy-to-use
options make it possible to automatically recognize
patterns and shapes in CAE models as well as
extract features from specified geometry without
additional input or intervention. These capabilities,
combined with ML algorithms in HyperWorks’
matching-tools option, puts the power of
geometric ML at your fingertips.

Reduced-Order Modeling (ROM)

and System Identification with
Altair® romAI™

The romAI capability within Altair® Twin Activate™ lets

you incorporate detailed 3D simulations into a
computationally efficient 1D environment for system-level
study. Typically, high-fidelity simulation is excellent for
detailed system study at the component or subsystem
level. But when full-system analysis is required, leveraging
romAI to reduce component behavior to its interaction
 with the complete system shortens solver run time and
produces highly accurate results.

In practice, romAI leverages 3D simulations as a source of

training data for dynamic or static ROMs. This Altair-
created approach requires less training data—only a
minimal number of 3D simulations—than traditional data-
driven methods. And romAI works with data from any
software vendor. romAI produces highly accurate results
when operating within the training space and is stable for
extrapolation outside of the training space. For system
identification applications, you can apply the same ML
approach when using test data.

romAI serves many purposes: digital twin deployment,

faster optimization and multi-disciplinary analysis, better
real-time simulation accuracy, use in third-party software
or hardware-based applications, and more.

simulation, HPC, frictionless AI and data analytics
capabilities, teams can design, build, test, optimize,
evaluate what-if scenarios, perform predictive
maintenance, and extend the remaining useful life
(RUL) of their products without using
physical prototypes.

Altair’s flexible, connected capabilities also enable

comprehensive cross-functional system evaluation,
which eliminates information silos and
communication bottlenecks during product
development. With these offerings, organizations
become more efficient and can deploy digital twin
technology when and where they need it from
concept design to in-service performance.
