Lattice generation - users can generate optimized lattice and mixed solid-lattice structures, visualize simulation results in 3D on these structures, and export lattice designs in (.stl) file format for 3D printing.

New benefits to Inspire 2018 use include: We continue to add tools to make Inspire more beneficial to its users in each step of the design process.”Ġ2 – A lattice Jaw render in Inspire 2018.

3D printing - directly export Inspire 3D geometry to 3D printing workflows to produce quality partsĪndy Bartels, Inspire Program Manager, explained, “In order to stay competitive while pushing the innovation envelope, simulation must drive the entire design process from the early concept design phase all the way through to production.

simulate loads - simulate for static, normal modes and buckling.

generate weight-efficient design options - using Altair’s industry-leading topology optimization technology users can reduce weight in parts and assemblies whether they are built using conventional or additive manufacturing processes.

simulate dynamic mechanical systems - rapidly develop multi-part assemblies and resolve loads on systems components for optimization and analysis.Inspire is an application used in the early stages of a design process, ideally, allowing designers and design engineers to explore form and shape reduction finding while also simulating assemblies and dynamic systems. This latest version advances the tool in the direction of additive manufacturing and importantly adds solid-lattice mix structures, an area in advanced manufacturing design that is finding appeal. “Inspire integrates well into large manufacturing enterprises for rapid simulation and “lightweighting” insights, and has an intuitive user experience that is ideal for small and medium-sized businesses with little or no simulation experience.” 01 – Altair’s Inspire 2018 supports optimization and simulation on both lattice and solid-lattice compound components and parts.
