Altair Inspire 2019

Inspire version 2019 includes the following new features and enhancements.

New Features

Units-Based Licensing

Altair Inspire now supports units-based licensing for both solidThinking and HyperWorks customers. To activate your license, select File > Licensing and enter your credentials in the License Setup window. solidThinking customers have the option of using Offline Mode so you can continue to run the application when you are not connected to the internet. Details about how to activate your license are available in the Licensing and Installation Guide.

Video Recording for Motion Animation

Motion animations can now be captured in mp4 format. Use the Play and Record button on the Animation toolbar to start and stop the recording. Files are automatically saved in the Windows Documents directory under Altair\videos. The default is continuous recording, but the recording will stop automatically if the playback option is set to Once rather than Loop.

Support for Milliseconds in Motion Analysis

The milliseconds time unit is now supported for motion analysis: You may use either MMKNMS or MMGNMS units sets where the units of time are milliseconds (ms). The Profile Editor, Run Settings window, animation toolbar, call-out plots and pop-out plots are now able to show time units in milliseconds. In addition, the Output Rate now reports the value in kHz when the time unit is ms.

Enhancements

  • Remote Job Submission: The remote job submission setup process has been streamlined. Refer to the Altair Inspire Remote Job Submission Guide for more information.
  • Customizable Front View: The direction of the front view can now be customized in the Preferences under Inspire > Modeling Space > Front View.
  • Porosity Tool: The Cast tool on the Manufacture ribbon has been renamed the Porosity tool, and is now available as part of Altair Inspire software without an additional license.
  • Thinning Tool: The Stamp tool on the Manufacture ribbon has been renamed the Thinning tool, and is now available as part of Altair Inspire software without an additional license.
