Altair Squeak and Rattle Director (SnRD) is a comprehensive software solution designed to assist engineers in identifying and eliminating squeak and rattle issues in product designs at an early stage. By integrating a novel set of tools and methods within the Altair HyperWorks environment, SnRD streamlines the process of analyzing risks, identifying root causes, and finding solutions through numerical optimization. This approach helps in creating high-quality user experiences by addressing unwanted noises such as squeak, rattle, and buzz. Additionally, SnRD reduces manufacturing costs by identifying risks early in the design process, thereby minimizing the need for unnecessary prototyping and quick fixes during production. The software also facilitates the creation of optimized solutions that eliminate squeak and rattle risks without adding unnecessary weight or cost, all while considering manufacturing constraints.

Features:

• Guided, Automated Workflow: An intuitive, process-driven user experience that automates repetitive pre and post-processing tasks, enabling users to identify squeak and rattle risks quickly.
• Risk Analysis: Tools to analyze risks and identify root causes of squeak and rattle issues in product designs.
• Numerical Optimization: Capabilities to find solutions through numerical optimization, addressing identified issues effectively.
• Climate and Manufacturing Variability Analysis: Exploration of effects caused by climate and manufacturing variabilities to ensure robustness in designs.
• Integration with Altair HyperWorks: Seamless integration within the Altair HyperWorks environment for a unified simulation experience.
