Altair, with NVIDIA technology, advances simulation, AI-driven engineering, and computational intelligence.
Altair has announced a technical integration between the NVIDIA Omniverse Blueprint for real-time digital twins and the Altair One cloud innovation gateway. The integration uses GPU acceleration, NVIDIA NIM microservices, and NVIDIA Omniverse technologies to improve how customers visualize, build, edit, and interact with simulations and digital twins in a collaborative environment. It also helps organizations apply Altair’s simulation, artificial intelligence (AI), data analytics, and high-performance computing (HPC) solutions for research and development.
By using NVIDIA Omniverse Blueprint for Real-Time Digital Twins in Altair One, users can collaborate and simulate in a shared virtual environment in real time. The technology combines 3D design, AI, and ray tracing to create virtual environments for various industries. It provides cloud-based rendering and streaming, helping integrate software components in large systems, particularly those used for AI, data processing, and graphics computing. The integration supports innovation and collaboration in areas such as crash and drop test simulations.
The integration provides users with direct access to the Omniverse Blueprint without additional setup. If users have built digital twins with the Omniverse Blueprint in Altair One, they can deploy them in any cloud or on-premises environment. By systematically cataloging data with essential metadata, Altair One allows datasets to expand across multiple design iterations. This supports model development in tools like Altair PhysicsAI, which can significantly reduce analysis time, in some cases from hours to minutes.
In addition to these updates, Altair is using NVIDIA technology to enhance performance. Altair OptiStruct incorporates the cuDSS GPU-accelerated Direct Sparse Solver library for optimized computation on CPU and GPU architectures, and Altair EDEM is being updated to integrate with the NVIDIA Grace architecture.
Altair announced performance results for Altair ultraFluidX, Altair nanoFluidX, and EDEM on NVIDIA Blackwell, showing a performance increase of up to 1.6x on NVIDIA DGX B200. EDEM achieved a 40x speed improvement compared to 32 CPUs.
