Leading Engineering Services & Consultancy, Assystem UK, Selects Altair HyperWorks for Gas Turbine Design

Altair Engineering, Inc. announced that the UK Gas Turbine Division of Assystem, a leading engineering services and consultancy provider, has selected Altair HyperWorks to be included in future engineering service projects. Assystem will use HyperWorks and especially HyperMesh, the advanced finite element analysis (FEA) meshing solution of the product suite, to complement existing analysis software in order to support service and consultancy projects within the gas turbine industry. Since the recent acquisition of HyperMesh, Assystem has already realised benefits including substantial improvements in mesh generation leading to better results for their customers.

"I have had the chance to work with many different meshing tools during my professional career," said Phil Baker, Projects & Analysis Manager at Assystem. "I have to say, that none of them have shown the robustness and flexibility that HyperMesh has demonstrated. We are continually looking to improve our service offering and a key factor in this process is the selection of proven analysis tools. HyperMesh has a very good reputation in the industry, so we trained our engineers at Altair and then evaluated HyperMesh on some of our projects. HyperMesh is very robust, offers flexible geometry manipulation, is 64-bit compatible and has an open platform to be used with any solver our customers request us to work with. It offers us the flexibility, reliability and efficiencies we need to meet our customers' requirements and stay ahead of our competitors."

"We are working in a very competitive industry in which timescales are critical, HyperMesh is giving us the competitive business edge we need," added Kaushil Solanki, Senior Engineer, Assystem UK.

"We are very pleased to see Assystem implementing HyperMesh into their development processes," said Maurice Linscott, Regional Director, Altair Engineering, UK. "Our tools offer service companies the flexibility they need because they provide an open architecture, offer quick return times and a good return on investment. I expect to see more and more service and consultancy companies in the UK turning to HyperWorks thanks to the business benefits the product suite offers."
