An Altair Engineering product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Sep 25, 2007

Airbus has selected OptiStruct as the strategic tool for topological optimisation for its development projects.

Airbus has chosen Altair's OptiStruct topological optimisation software for the A350XWB program.

Airbus pioneered the use of topology optimisation in aircraft design, and, during the A380 development, used OptiStruct for design optimisation to support weight reduction.

Based on its experience with the A380 program, Airbus has selected OptiStruct as the strategic tool for topological optimisation for its development projects.

"The Airbus decision confirms that OptiStruct has become the de-facto standard tool for topological optimisation within the aerospace industry", said Dr Michael Hoffmann, Vice President of Business Development and Marketing Europe, Altair Engineering.

Altair Engineering will provide the HyperWorks software suite to Airbus sites located in Toulouse, France; Filton, United Kingdom; Hamburg/Bremen, Germany; and Getafe, Spain.

Altair OptiStruct is a finite-element-based software for both structural analysis and design optimisation.

OptiStruct is used to design, evaluate and improve performance of mechanical structures.
