MTU selects Altair as its strategic partner

Altair Engineering has announced that MTU Aero Engines has selected HyperWorks as its solution for CAE pre- and post-processing and PBS Professional for high performance computing tasks.

Altair Engineering has announced that MTU Aero Engines has selected HyperWorks as its primary strategic solution for CAE pre- and post-processing and PBS Professional for high performance computing tasks. MTU selected HyperWorks following a year-long enterprise benchmark that deeply investigated all major CAE commercial software packages. As a result, MTU will deploy the HyperWorks modules HyperMesh and HyperView across the bigger part of its development groups worldwide, entirely replacing its former commercial pre- and post-processing solution. PBS Professional, Altair's commercial-grade workload management and job submission solution, provides a flexible on-demand cloud computing environment that allows enterprises to easily share distributed computing resources. PBS Professional will serve as MTU's strategic workload management solution, handling job distribution and scheduling of high-performance enterprise computing resources. “Selecting Altair has been a strategic decision for MTU,” said Dr Hans-Peter Hackenberg, MTU's manager of structural mechanics, thermal analysis, air and oil systems. “We were looking for a long-term partner able to provide us with the best tools on the market as well as with sound technical know-how in the aero engines domain and continuous support to integrate the software into our processes. HyperWorks has demonstrated market leadership in modelling and visualisation technology, which will help us to increase productivity and quality in product development. Moreover, best-in-class existing multi-solver interfaces to third-party solvers and customised interfaces to in-house tools will allow us to harmonise processes and tools in the structural and thermal analysis environments.” “In addition to HyperWorks, we chose PBS Professional for our high performance computing needs,” said Dr Hartmut Scheitle, from MTU's IT department for CAE. “As the number of cluster CPUs continued to rapidly increase, we saw the necessity to find a workload management software able to provide the needed functionalities and robustness, and at the same time, minimise licensing costs. Altair's licensing system has allowed us to achieve this goal.” www.altairhyperworks.com
