Altair SimLab sT is a process-oriented multidisciplinary simulation environment that accurately analyze sthe performance of complex assemblies. Multiple physics including structural, thermal and fluid dynamics can be easily setup using highly automated modeling tasks, helping to drastically reduce the time spent creating finite element models and interpreting results. Altair’s robust, accurate, and scalable solvers can run either locally, on remote servers, or in the cloud.
