Altair Multiscale Designer is a powerful, fully integrated framework designed to develop accurate and computationally efficient material models for a wide range of material behaviors, from isotropic to anisotropic composites. It significantly improves the composite design process by reducing the need for physical testing and enabling faster, more reliable simulations. The software supports the creation of both single and multiscale models with minimal experimental data. Key features include a parametric unit cell library, virtual test lab, and forward/inverse workflows for material model development. It supports popular solvers like OptiStruct and Radioss, along with third-party solvers, for seamless integration into existing workflows. By utilizing both deterministic and stochastic models, it ensures realistic simulations that capture real-world variations. Ideal for advanced material design, Multiscale Designer also supports injection molding and lattice structure modeling. Features:

• Single and Multiscale Material Models: Develop predictive, computationally efficient models for a range of materials, from brittle to ductile, isotropic to anisotropic.
• Parametric Unit Cell Library: Easily create unit cells for a variety of composite forms such as continuous, woven, and particle-based materials.
• Virtual Test Lab: Perform simulations using ASTM/ISO test specimens and evaluate material responses with both deterministic and stochastic models.
• Forward and Inverse Workflows: Utilize known material properties to develop homogenized properties (forward) or derive constituent properties from homogenized materials (inverse).
• Comprehensive Material Databases: Access databases with typical material properties for metals, polymers, and fibers, as well as validated multiscale models.
• Multiscale Structural Simulation: Use developed material models in conjunction with structural solvers for both implicit and explicit simulations.
• Injection Molding Material Models: Develop efficient material models for anisotropic reinforced injection and compression molded materials.
• Material Model Development as a Service: Collaborate with Altair experts to develop custom material models tailored to your simulation needs.
