Automating Drop Test Simulations - Altair’s Solution for Drop Test Simulations Speeds Google’s Design Process

Replacing physical drop tests, drop simulation is one of the most important stages of product design and development. However, preparing CAE models for these simulations not only delays development timelines but also reduces simulations’ reliability and repeatability. Google needed a solution that could streamline the drop test process, improve consistency, and accelerate simulation preparation without compromising quality. To address this challenge and reduce the manual effort of pre-processing, Google collaborated with Altair to develop a modeling automation tool (MAT), a customized solution built on the foundation of Altair® HyperMesh®.
