Altair Activate: A Powerful Engineering Software for Modeling and Simulation

Altair Activate, Compose, and Embed are three powerful engineering programs from SolidThinking that support product designers, control engineers, and system simulation engineers in simulation-based design.

In today’s competitive market, the simulation process requires innovation from initial design to product manufacturing.

SolidThinking has helped many companies achieve optimal quality while saving time and costs by providing a powerful software suite for model-based development, conceptual design, and structural simulation.

Altair Activate

Altair Activate is a flexible and practical tool for rapid modeling and simulation of products, such as multi-disciplinary systems, making it highly beneficial for engineers and product designers.

Altair Compose

Altair Compose provides an environment for performing calculations, data manipulation, visualization, scripting, and debugging. It is useful for automating processes and accelerating repetitive computations.

Altair Embed

Altair Embed is a graphical environment for model-based development of embedded systems, which automatically generates code from block diagram models and transfers it to hardware controllers.

Altair Activate – Features & Capabilities

Altair Activate is a software tool for modeling and simulating products as multi-disciplinary systems in the form of 1D models. It allows users to visualize these activities through physical or signal-based diagrams, and optionally integrate them into 3D models.

Various modifications can be applied throughout the development cycle, from initial conceptual design (with simpler models and shorter simulations) to detailed design (with more complex models and longer simulations).

With Altair Activate, users can:
✅ Simulate system-to-system performance
✅ Better evaluate overall behavior
✅ Understand interactions between components and subsystems

By applying multi-disciplinary aspects to system simulation (mechanical, electrical, fluid, structural, electromagnetic, and thermal effects), Altair Activate improves the overall understanding of product performance, including the integration of 1D and 3D models.

Key Features of Altair Activate:

  • Model-based hybrid system development
  • Hierarchical and parametric multi-disciplinary modeling environment
  • Integration of hardware and signals into a single diagram
  • Comprehensive library of block types with processing options
  • Exchange and transfer of simulation models
  • Compilation of models into executable code
  • Drag-and-drop functionality for modeling blocks
  • Modeling and simulation of continuous and discrete dynamic systems
  • Capability to design hybrid and dynamic systems
  • Engineering calculations based on fundamental principles
  • Pre-processing and post-processing of data
  • Support for better engineering decision-making
  • Versatile tool with an intuitive interface
  • Automation processes and scripting
  • 2D and 3D plotting
  • Data input/output for CAE tools
  • Comprehensive product performance simulation
  • System design and optimization

 

Altair Flow Simulator project
Altair Activate

Altair Activate, previously known as SolidThinking Activate, enables product developers, system simulators, and control engineers to design, simulate, and optimize various multi-disciplinary systems. This ensures that all tools function properly and that components and subsystems operate correctly.

Using this software, engineers and other users no longer need to create physical prototypes to test and analyze their systems.
