Altair Engineering, Inc., a leading global provider of simulation technology and engineering services, today announced the general availability of HyperWorks On-Demand (HWOD), a high-performance computing (HPC) solution for design innovation in the Cloud. HWOD leverages Altair’s patented licensing system, providing access to HyperWorks and a modern, scalable HPC infrastructure through a secure and efficient Web-based platform.
Customers can use their existing HyperWorks Units (HWUs) or purchase a pool of HWUs residing on HWOD to gain access to an extensive selection of Altair products and the HPC infrastructure required to run those applications. The Altair products currently available on HWOD include RADIOSS, a multi-disciplinary finite element solver for structural analysis; OptiStruct, a structural optimization solver; AcuSolve, a finite-element-based computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver; and Altair’s BatchMesher, a high-fidelity finite element mesher for large assemblies. Additional solutions, including solvers from the HyperWorks Partner Alliance and HyperWorks desktop applications, will be added soon. Read More
“The fluctuating demand for computing resources is a reality that enterprises across all industries increasingly face in today’s product design environment,” said Martin Nichols, EVP Global Alliances and Operations for Altair Engineering. “For more than a decade Altair has provided customers flexibility and value through our unique HyperWorks ‘pay-per-usage’ license model; we are now extending the power of HWUs, providing access to a complete HPC environment. HWOD finally brings software, platform and infrastructure as a service – SaaS, PaaS and IaaS – to our customers within a single and intuitive solution.”
