Altair Physics AI

Better Design Insights Up to 1000x Faster than Solver Simulation

Altair® PhysicsAI™ delivers fast physics predictions by learning from your historical data without the limits of parametric studies. Accessible through Altair® HyperWorks®, our design and simulation platform, this AI-powered CAE technology trains models using any existing simulation studies including those from older design concepts, similar parts, or different programs. With its modern, geometric deep learning capability, PhysicsAI identifies the relationship between shape and performance for any physics. Once trained, PhysicsAI models can deliver predictions up to 1000x faster than traditional solver simulations, enabling teams to evaluate more concepts and make better design decisions.

Why PhysicsAI?

Accelerate Design Cycles

PhysicsAI operates directly on mesh or CAD models to produce fully animated physics outcomes at blazing speed across diverse physics applications. This streamlined approach takes a fraction of the time needed for traditional solver simulation and offers invaluable design performance insights. Whether you’re working with a crash model or HVAC design, PhysicsAI predictions slash runtime to seconds and what-if simulation studies from months to days.

Innovate Faster

PhysicsAI delivers fast physics predictions that enable engineering teams to test more design variations than possible with traditional solver simulation alone. More design exploration in less time helps companies discover ways to improve designs early in the development cycle so that they can bring innovations to market faster than the competition.

Predict with Confidence

AI-powered technology leverages your historical data to deliver the best possible physics predictions. At the training stage, powerful geometric deep learning trains PhysicsAI models with your specified simulation data, regardless of the data’s origin. To ensure reliable predictions, the physics AI environment provides workflows to assess predictions and validate them against traditional solver simulations.
