Biomedical - Innovative Design Altair’s industry leading technologies enable rapid, innovative and optimized designs Once initial geometry is built in HyperMesh, a range of design shapes and variables can be developed using HyperMorph Complex loading can be defined and HyperStudy utilized to interface with RADIOSS and other implicit/explict solvers to automatically iterate to identify the optimum device design HyperView allows for rapid visual assessment and comparison of designs Shape and size optimization can be performed to achieve desired device performance and material distribution Built upon a foundation of design optimization, performance data management and process automation, HyperWorks® is an enterprise simulation solution for rapid design exploration and decision-making for biomedical applications. HyperMorph and HyperStudy were used to explore 60 stent design variations to optimize the stent deployment process (crimp, expansion, pressure and bending conditions).
