Altair Hyperworks - A Platform for Innovation™


Electronics - Mechanism Design

Design complex mechanisms and optimize kinematics and performance

Electronics engineers utilize mechanisms for everything from complex motion to simple contact and switching. Sometimes these mechanisms are inside the product and are needed for proper function, but sometimes they are part of the user experience, and must be engineered as part of the product brand image.

HyperWorks has a fully integrated Multi-Body Dynamic (MBD) solution which empowers Electronics engineers to:

  • Develop the mechanisms through static, kinematic, dynamic and linear analyses

  • Design for durability by accurately predicting loads for FE and fatigue analysis

  • Solve for human factors by calculating the effort required to operate the mechanisms

  • Validate the entire system assembly with 3D contacts of rigid bodies as well as advanced flexible body analysis

  • Design and optimize mechanisms to meet both mechanical and human factor goals

Altair HyperWorks offer the widest range of MBD and Optimization solutions, giving electronics designers the power to perfect the function and "feel" of their products and gain an advantage in this competitive industry
