Consumer Goods

What makes consumers loyal to a product? There are many factors ranging from sensory perception to quality and durability, and now more than ever, the sustainability of the product and its impact on the planet. Consumers use the same factors to judge all products no matter if it’s a dishwasher, athletic shoes, or mobile phones. Altair’s broad portfolio of solvers helps in every step of design.

From Conceptual Design to Reality

From Conceptual Design to Reality

Consumer products are all about the user experience. Whether it is the initial impression of the packaging and shelf appeal, to the user interaction and interface, Altair can help. Altair® Inspire™ Studio allows industrial designers to develop products faster, facilitating initial sketching and exploration of styling alternatives, as well as development of photo-realistic renderings. With organic surface modeling and parametric control, and a unique construction tree history feature, designers can focus on their ideas instead of struggling with the design technology.

Altair’s industrial design services 能帮助客户从用户研究，到品牌，到设计和原型.

HPC Driving Product Innovation

HPC Driving Product Innovation

The consumer goods industry is fast paced and highly competitive, with designs becoming increasingly complex while the timeline for production shrinks. 公司必须快速创新和开发新产品，以留住和吸引新客户. To keep up with the pace of today's innovation, 制造商需要更快地了解他们最复杂的模拟和优化工作. Altair’s high-performance computing and cloud tools enable users to easily set up, submit, and monitor large simulation and optimization jobs on local or cloud compute resources.

Sound and Simulation: Designing a Smart Speaker

Speaker design and analysis, especially for a more complex product, system, or component, often requires building multiple simulation models. 扬声器的研制过程涉及多物理和多源并行, to multiple simulation runs for prototyping, testing, and validation. This results in separate models for nonlinear analysis of strength, thermal analysis and stiffness, noise, vibration, and acoustics. Even though each model isn’t always built from scratch, 通常，为每个属性使用不同的求解器需要将模型从一种求解器格式转换为另一种格式. 这种做法不仅费时，而且容易出错，导致工程时间的利用效率低下.

手机相机的优化设计-摩托罗拉移动在消费相机中模拟音圈电机

The competitive consumer device industry has quick time-to-market deadlines. 智能手机相机使用音圈电机(VCM)执行器在三个自由度中平移镜头，以便将物体聚焦在像面上，并在光学上稳定相机. To ensure optimal design, 摩托罗拉移动团队选择Altair Flux™来模拟整个VCM和相机系统. Flux允许团队快速验证设计，并确保部件兼容性和相机性能满足设计目标. 手机内的其他设备，如扬声器，天线屏蔽，配件磁铁等. can affect the VCM performance due to magnetic interference. With Flux, the team simulated the entire VCM and phone layout, accounting for all possible magnetic interference from other devices.
