Achieving Sustainable Product Design Through Superior Material Intelligence and Digital Thread Integration

The demand for sustainability within product design - from both consumers and governing bodies - is at an all-time high. The pursuit of more sustainable products comes as organizations strive to reduce their carbon footprint by focusing on the implementation of material data analysis and optimized product design processes. This approach emphasizes material selection to minimize waste while shifting to a circular economy. This white paper explores how organizations can calculate their carbon footprint by building a custom tool leveraging Altair Inspire Python APIs and accelerate design optimization and studies using Altair SimSolid a structural analysis tool for rapid design iterations - all while leveraging material data from Altair Material Data Center.
