Introducing Altair Inspire

In this blog, I will introduce you to a new line of products that Symetri have the honour of promoting under the Altair umbrella of simulation driven applications.

Altair has a wide range of applications for design, engineering and manufacturing departments or individuals to analyse their product prototypes using computer aided solvers. You may be familiar with SimSolid; this software is Structural Analysis for Rapid Design Iterations. Symetri has many customers utilising SimSolid for its amazing ability to drive simulation results without complicated mech controls.
