SimLab helps bring Altair’s simulation-driven design philosophy to the electronics industry, inspiring innovation while ensuring timing, performance, reliability, and compliance targets are met. Thermal analyses can be easily performed without requiring advanced CFD knowledge. Automate structural stress, vibration, and drop test performance assessments with robust and repeatable workflows for fast, accurate, and consistent analysis, even for occasional users. Optimize electric motors, taking into account the generated power, noise and thermal considerations of a design.
Thermal and Flow Analysis
Simplify the challenges of transient heat transfer and flow dynamics with SimLab. Efficiently simulate scenarios such as gearbox oil, inverter and battery cooling, vehicles navigating through sloshingwater, and the movement of granular particles. Quickly assess the performance of heat sinks and convection heating systems with rapid meshing capabilities and intuitive process-oriented workflows.
With application specific workflows for drop test, fatigue, and structural optimization, SimLab simplifies complex analysis problems. Import an existing CAD geometry, retain parametrization, and automatically mesh to quickly experiment with design variants for an increased understanding of linear static, non-linear static, normal modes, modal frequency response, or small displacement performance.
