Altair MotionSolve is a state-of-the-art multibody system simulation software used to evaluate and optimize the dynamic behavior of mechanical systems. Designed to simulate complex product interactions, MotionSolve allows engineers and designers to graphically build system models that include realistic geometry, loading conditions, component flexibility, nonlinear connectivity, friction/contact, and environmental effects. By running time- and frequency-domain simulations, users can predict the performance and reliability of products, minimizing the need for expensive physical testing and prototypes. MotionSolve also integrates seamlessly with other Altair tools like HyperStudy for optimization, Twin Activate for co-simulation, and HyperMesh for mesh generation, creating a holistic simulation environment. With MotionSolve, product development teams can collaborate more effectively, ensuring that products meet performance requirements while reducing time-to-market.
