Altair and Simufact enter cooperative agreement

simulation solutions, today announced that they have entered into a multi-year, cooperative agreement under which Altair’s SimLab will be seamlessly integrated into Simufact’s process simulation software suite.
SimLab is a process oriented, feature-based software application for finite element modeling that allows its users to quickly and accurately simulate the engineering behavior of complex assemblies. Before Altair acquired Simlab’s meshing technology in November, 2010, the software had already been integrated into Simufact products and was used as its preferred meshing technology for its forming simulation. SimLab’s core technology has since been customised for metal forming simulation applications. Several specialised tools and features have also been added. Under the new cooperation agreement, Altair and Simufact will develop additional features and modules for SimLab. “With this cooperation and by generally providing our technology to third parties, Altair demonstrates once more the openness of its tools and business model,” said Dr Michael Hoffmann, senior vice president, European operations at Altair Engineering. “We will work closely with Simufact’s engineers to further integrate our technology into their products. The advantages of SimLab compared to other meshing tools are its openness for customization and its capability to quickly produce clean and reliable meshes that don’t need a lot of manual adjustments.”
