Right now, our students are following a series of online training courses regarding the use of CAE software developed by Altair Engineering.

But who is Altair, and what does it do?
Altair Engineering is a multinational software house that offers a wide range of products including CAE software (computer aided engineering), product design and data analytics. In particular, the software CAE, useful for our projects, include the Hypermesh pre-processor and the Hyperworks simulation solution: these tools, interfacing with each other and with the FEA (Optistruct) and CFD (Acusolve) solvers developed by Altair, allow us to simulate the different aspects of projects and obtain information.

We warmly thank you for the opportunity given to us that is particularly valuable to acquire useful knowledge for working in teams and to enrich our wealth of experience.
