Multiphysics – A New Generation of Simulation
• CAE drives the design more
today than ever before.
• Therefore, it is vital that
simulation represent reality to
the maximum extent possible.
• Multiphysics simulation provides
the opportunity for significantly
improved accuracy.

• We live in a “One” physics
universe, but our
application of math splits it
into “Multiphysics”
• “3D” or “Geometry/Mesh”
based physics in
engineering
• “1D” or “Idealized” based
physics in engineering

• The demand for multiphysics is growing and is expected to
continue to become a central part of companies’ CAE processes
• There exists a multi-faceted approach to realizing the full potential
of multiphysics simulation & optimization, and Altair offers the
entire array of enablers from solvers to cloud services
• Altair is intent on being the global leader in multiphysics &
multidisciplinary simulation and optimization and is well
positioned to do so
