Altair® Material Modeler™

Comprehensive Multiphysics Material Modeling Framework

Accurate material modeling is key to performing reliable simulations, yet generating simulation-ready material data from raw test data can be time-consuming and inconsistent. To make well-informed decisions, high-quality material data is essential. Altair® Material Modeler™ is a modeling software that empowers users to efficiently process raw material test data and generate robust, simulation-ready material cards for an array of physics.

Automated, intuitive workflows let users create material data for thermomechanical, elasto-plastic, and hyperelastic material models in record time. Built-in tools enable virtual validations to ensure confidence in data. Seamlessly integrated with Altair® Material Data Center™, users can access solver-neutral data from an extensive material library, refine and process within Material Modeler, and securely store data in a private organizational database. Simulation-ready material cards are generated dynamically, delivering precise, application-specific data for various solvers – ultimately streamlining the design process.

Why Altair Material Modeler?

Robust Material Data Processing

Raw test material data processing is complex and subject to individual expertise, processes, and tools. Material Modeler streamlines the material data transformation process through an intuitive workflow that offers a unique solution to create CAE-ready material models for a range of simulation disciplines.

High-Quality Material Modeling

Users can easily validate calibrated material models via integrated simulation. Common testing standards, corresponding sample geometries, and testing conditions are then proposed for validation simulation. Also, material parameter stability, which is particularly important for hyperelastic materials, can be validated and included in datasheets to enhance confidence and reliability.

Reduce Lead Times with Advanced Automation

Material Modeler reduces lead times through a highly automated process for material data processing and validation, enabling data export in multiple output formats. In combination with Material Data Center, users can consolidate material data in a private database and share across an organization.
