Altair Engineering will support Make the Future Festivals in 2018 by supplying complete licenses for their Computer-aided Engineering (CAE) software to all Shell Eco-marathon (SEM) teams competing in Singapore, California, and London and all Challenger events. 2018 will mark the first year of Altair’s global support of SEM, in which students from around the world are challenged to design, build and drive the most energy-efficient car.
Shell Eco-marathon has three annual Tier One events in Asia, the Americas and Europe that take place at Make the Futures Festivals. These festivals are a platform for conversation, collaboration and innovation around the world’s energy challenges, and a proof point of the solutions developed when brilliant minds come together. Shell Eco-marathon student participants, industry experts and existing partners have collaborated to drive progress in mobility for over 30 years.
As a leading provider of enterprise-class leading engineering software, Altair has developed HyperWorks®, a simulation driven approach to product design, that enables users to optimise performance across multiple disciplines encompassing structures, motion, fluids, thermal management, electromagnetics, system modelling and embedded systems, while also providing data analytics and true-to-life visualization and rendering.
Altair will provide access to its product design and development software, as well as provide technical support and advice to the Shell Eco-marathon teams. This will enable students to refine the design of their vehicles to make them even more fuel efficient and less energy dependent.
“We are really excited to bring Altair on-board for Make the Future Festivals in 2018,” said Norman Koch, General Manager, Make the Future Festivals. “We are convinced that their innovative and versatile products will enable our student teams to maximise the potential of their designs and produce even better results from their Shell Eco-marathon vehicles in 2018 and beyond.”
“The Altair CAE suite with its leading edge simulation technology in the fields of light weight design, aerodynamics, safety, manufacturing, electromagnetics and in combination with our passion for motorsports, teaching and technical support fits perfectly well into the Shell Make The Future Festivals. We are delighted to be part of it,” said Matthias Goelke, Senior Director - Business Development Academic Markets.
