altair1019Altair announces the expansion of the Altair Partner Alliance (APA) with the highly developed visualization and real-time multibody simulation software "Vortex Studio Create" from CM Labs Simulations. The software is now available for use by Altair HyperWorks customers who can gain real-time insights for all device types with the virtual training environment.

The simulations created with the Vortex Studio Desktop Editor can easily be used as interactive and immersive driver-in-the-loop simulators and integrated into realistic scenes using 3D effects and modern real-time renderings. By incorporating people, weather, vegetation, and water into the simulation, designers can enhance the user experience for users in highly immersive environments.

Vortex Studio enables design teams to simulate and visualize the operation of mechatronic devices in a virtual operational environment. Engineers can evaluate the practicability, mobility and usability with the driver or control systems in-the-loop, whereby the device interacts with the virtual environment.

This includes the simulation of wheels and tracks on soft ground, loading shovels and other digging or pushing tillage equipment, cable systems and chains, fluid dynamics and contact physics. It is a virtual sandbox for a wide range of device applications such as off-highway, marine equipment, military ground vehicles, and mobile robotics.
