Altair Inspire Form 2019.1655 x64

Altair Inspire is easy to learn and works with your CAD tool. It helps you design structural parts right the first time, reducing costs, development time, material consumption, and product weight. Traditional structural simulations allow engineers to check if a design will support the required loads. Inspire generates new material layouts within a package space using the loads as an input.
Altair Inspire Form (ex solidThinking Click2Form). Inspire Form is a sheet metal forming simulation software that enables users to optimize their products for manufacturing, with the consideration of early formability, material utilization and cost. Evaluating feasibility within seconds is possible with the industry leading one-step inverse simulation technology. In addition to providing the users with areas of possible failure due to tearing and thinning, Inspire Form has comprehensive blank utilization capabilities that provides optimal blank shape including the best layout for blank nesting and the associated material cost.

Product Highlights:
- Stamping simulation software with ability to do product design, feasibility analysis and cost estimation
- User-friendly interface facilitating natural workflow for innovative user experience
- Identify potential stamping defects like splits, wrinkles and modify product design in just a few steps
- Quick and optimal nesting of blank in the coil sheet to maximize material utilization for progressive and transfer die forming

Product Benefits:
Design Better Products
