Altair Inspire
Altair Inspire is a simulation-driven design environment that helps teams create geometry, explore performance, and validate manufacturability early. Combine hybrid modeling (BRep + PolyNURBS + implicit), optimization, and designer-friendly analysis-then follow the capability links below to go deeper by workflow.
What is Altair Inspire?
Altair Inspire is a concept design tool you can use to run structural optimization, finite element analysis (FEA), motion analysis, and additive manufacturing analysis early in development. Inspire uses optimization methods such as topology, topography, gauge, lattice, and PolyNURBS shape optimization to generate performance-driven concepts you can refine and export for downstream design.
-
Best for: early lightweighting, rapid concept validation, mechanism studies, additive-oriented concepts
-
Works well when: you need fast iteration before detailed CAD
-
Typical outputs: optimized shapes and meshes for prototyping and refinement
