Altair said Airbus Defence and Space has joined the Altair Partner Alliance (APA), bringing airframe structural analysis and verification to HyperWorks users with the addition of Strength2000.

“Strength2000 is a toolbox for performing strength and stability analyses which meet aerospace standards, as well as generating stress reports for certification purposes,” Altair said in a press release.

“It added, “For many aerospace companies and suppliers, Strength2000 simplifies the strength and stability assessment of metallic and composite structures to adhere to various industry and handbook standards.

Strength 2000 supports detailed sizing and analyses the stresses on metallic and composite aircraft structures.

The software provides efficient, reliable, and traceable workflows for strength and stability analysis, and is able to support fast sizing studies as well as check stress and qualification tasks.

This innovative software solution combines validated analysis methods, geometry data (CATIA), finite element results, material data, internal loads analysis, and a mature graphical user interface for airframe development.

Dr. Gerd Schuhmacher, senior expert at Airbus Defence and Space said, “Advantages of Strength2000 include lead-time reduction and the significant reliability improvement of strength and stability analysis tasks.”

“Long-term reproducibility of results is also extremely important in order to support upgrades as well as maintenance and repair during decades of aircraft in-service operation,” he observed.

“Strength2000 is the commercial evolution of an Airbus Defence and Space proprietary code developed over the past several years by experienced aerospace engineers,” Pietro Cervellera, MD at Altair Germany said.

“It is used to support the certification of the Eurofighter as well as components of A400M, A380 and other Airbus aircraft, offering Altair customers unique value in terms of reliability and dramatic time savings,” he too added.

Altair’s HyperWorks platform applies a subscription-based licensing model in which customers use floating licenses to access a broad suite of Altair-developed, as well as third-party software applications.

The Altair Partner Alliance effectively extends the HyperWorks Platform from more than 20 internally developed solutions to upwards of 60 applications with the addition of new partner applications.

Customers can invoke these third-party applications at no incremental cost using their existing HyperWorks licenses.

Customers benefit from unmatched flexibility and access, resulting in maximum software utilisation, productivity and ROI. (AR)
