Altair Launches a Material Data Centre

Altair a global technology company that provides solutions in data analytics, simulation, and high-performance computing (HPC) announced the launch of the Altair Material Data Centre, a modern, comprehensive, and high-fidelity material database for simulation. The data centre includes accurate data and data lineage for metals, plastics, and composites, and directly connects with the company and other major solvers.

“Altair Material Data Centre is yet another compelling solution to help our customers save time, money, and improve product innovation and performance throughout the entire lifecycle of development and manufacturing,” said James R Scapa, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Altair.

With the launch of the Altair Material Data Centre, now combined with M-Base’s plastic material database, allows the company to provide the critical comprehensive material information and infrastructure needed to predict and optimize product performance through simulation. It enables designers, engineers, and scientists to explore materials – including structural, fatigue, fluid/thermal, electromagnetic properties, as well as manufacturing process specific data – in a standalone application or through the interface of Altair simulation and optimization tools.

In this context Dr Changwei Lian, Senior Researcher, Baosteel Group Corporation shared that Baosteel is proud to collaborate with Altair to deeply integrate its material data into the digital development process of automotive industry users while ensuring the data is easily accessible via Altair products and other commonly used CAE software without complex data processing. He stressed, “Having our high-quality material data included in the Altair Material Data Center will provide quick and convenient access to our latest research results and the accurate application data reflecting the performance of Baosteel products.”

Commented on this Subhransu S Mohapatra, Material Data Leader, Specialties, SABIC, “We are extremely excited to have SABIC’s polymer material data included in the Altair Material Data Centre. Altair customers will now have the ability to access SABIC’s material engineering data to further enhance the depth and quality of information required for manufacturing simulation.”
