Over the past few decades, engineers and data scientists have introduced a plethora of world-changing technologies, but the way they work has surprisingly stagnated. Technological innovation has also led to continuous improvements in efficiency.

Faced with the same challenges faced by many companies, Altair integrated its products to create Altair One, a revolutionary cloud innovation gateway for collaborative engineering, data engineering, and analytical application development. Altair One makes true digital engineering possible. It breaks down data silos between engineers, accesses and manages scalable computing resources, and digitizes engineering processes through a single management platform. Altair One, which has such advanced technology products, has also greatly improved product development performance and business value realization efficiency for many outstanding companies.

Recently, Otis Mobility, a global leader in elevators and related equipment, flexibly used Altair One to easily improve and standardize product development efficiency for companies around the world by using different products on the platform.

“After using Altair One, our calculation time has been reduced by an average of 50%. The transition to using Altair products has been very smooth and easy to implement. The Altair team is very professional and meticulous, which has brought great help to the company."

——Oscar Vila, Head of Project Management, OTIS, Spain

So, how did OTIS use Altair One to reduce costs and increase efficiency? Here’s how the project leader used it flexibly.

Analytical Department Work: The mission of the Analytical Department is to provide technical support for existing products and new developments, while developing standards within the company. The main challenge for our department is to optimize and build up R&D projects in our engineering centers around the world. For us, innovation is essential in developing new products and solutions to continue to lead the industry.

Altair's solution has two major advantages over competitors:

1. The first benefit is Altair’s flexible licensing system, which enables users from different teams within our organization to access multiple products without requiring individual product licenses, saving money and accelerating time to market.
2. The second advantage is Altair One, a cloud-based platform powered by the same Altair units that gives us access to significant HPC resources and the ability to bring online the simulation tools we have used successfully in the past.
    

We use Altair Units with Altair One to deploy all the simulations we need and leverage the scalable cloud to quickly acquire resources. We used Altair HyperWorks with Altair Optistruct to analyze complex mechanical models and simulations to ensure that each component worked as designed, which streamlined the optimization process at every step.

Altair Radioss enables us to accurately create dynamic simulations, such as shock simulations, which are impossible to simulate using traditional computational models. We also use Altair Flux to accelerate engine design and simulation, and a key benefit of this tool is the ability to accommodate electromagnetic components in the design.

HyperStudy brings it all together, and we use it to find common variables to ensure our products are the best in terms of performance and durability. By using Altair One’s scalable cloud resources, we have accelerated our product design cycles. Before moving to the cloud, we ran all our work locally and did not have the resources to handle large jobs. Now, it is easy to get the computing power we need, and we are able to get results quickly and efficiently.

We have significantly reduced the cost of expensive on-premises HPC resources and cut computational time by 50% with Altair One.The transition to using Altair software has been very smooth and the implementation process has been easy. The Altair team has been very helpful and attentive, always responding quickly to any questions and providing efficient assistance.

At the same time, we can easily find a large number of online resources. We expect to run more complex simulations throughout the product lifecycle to take advantage of its scalable cloud HPC resources.

Our next challenges involve extending static computational knowledge and models. Our goal is to continue improving our dynamic simulations, just as we explore more impact capabilities in simulations, such as noise modal analysis, all of which are done with the help of our testing of Altair solutions. Technological innovation drives innovation in corporate product development and makes it easier for us to synchronously manage the progress of global corporate product development, which is of great significance to the company.
