Altair Collaborates with Motivo on Aerospace Applications

Altair announces its collaboration with Motivo, a product engineering firm focused on product development in the mobility, energy, agriculture technology, and aerospace sectors. Motivo uses Altair’s combination of engineering consulting and software to help advance organizations in the aerospace industry.

“We are delighted to collaborate with Motivo and help them advance their engineering innovations by applying leading technology and industry expertise to their process,” says Pietro Cervellera, senior vice president of aerospace and defense, Altair. “Altair has a long history of empowering customers in the aerospace sector to create safer, better, and more sustainable aircraft. Helping Motivo achieve these same outcomes for its clients is just another example that demonstrates our commitment to helping shape a more innovative aerospace sector.”

Motivo uses Altair’s technology portfolio to tackle complex analysis and simulation work—in prototype development and testing for aerospace propulsion systems, Altair reports. Motivo has used various tools from the Altair HPCWorks and Altair HyperWorks platforms to meet design performance and optimization targets for subsystems and components such as propeller assemblies for vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft. 

“Altair’s combination of technical experience, flexibility, and powerful computational software have positioned them to be a key contributor to the success of many of our projects,” says Damon Pipenberg, chief technical officer, Motivo. “Their technology has streamlined our processes, fostered more extensive collaboration, and generally allowed us to design better products for our clients faster.”

Altair’s simulation and high-performance computing (HPC) tools enable Motivo to streamline their design and development processes and leverage artificial intelligence (AI)-powered engineering capabilities. Motivo leverages Altair’s consulting and technical support expertise to take their designs from concept to reality. Having 24/7 access to Altair’s technical and domain expertise—in addition to Altair’s software portfolio—helps Motivo meet design performance targets in areas such as stiffness, fatigue life cycle, modal frequency, safety margins, and more.
