OPTISTRUCT:
A LINEAR STEP TO NONLINEAR ANALYSIS & OPTIMIZATION

Discover the radical impact of OptiStruct 

The world is nonlinear. We all know that.  What you may not know is OptiStruct, Altair’s solution for linear and nonlinear analysis and optimization. 

Globally recognized as the pioneer and leading technology for structural optimization, OptiStruct has evolved over the past 30 years into a modern, single-solver solution for both linear and nonlinear analysis.

This includes some of the most frequently used simulation types such as:

• NVH
• Buckling
• Large displacements
• Contact
• Plasticity
• Hyperelasticity
• Other material and geometric nonlinearities
• Optimization ready 

 

Benefits 

Stop struggling with model conversions from linear to nonlinear and eliminate convergence issues. Utilize built-in multiphysics analysis and native couplings to the broadest platform of mechanical, electromagnetic, thermal and fluid dynamics solvers.

• Leverage the Power of Your HWUs: offset high licensing costs and limited access to incumbent solvers
• Modern Single Solver Solution: increase design efficiency by eliminating multiple tools, models, and workflows for linear and nonlinear analysis
• Optimization-ready: turn on the market-leading optimization solution to meet aggressive performance, weight and timing objectives
• Access the Entire Altair Solver Portfolio: CFD, crash, electromagnetics, linear, nonlinear, multi-body dynamics, manufacturing, systems analysis, thermal

As a HyperWorks user, you'll have access to a wealth of online training materials related to OptiStruct and nonlinear analysis including:
