TROY, Mich., Dec. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Altair (www.altair.com)
announced today the addition of the DSHplus suite from FLUIDON, a leader in
simulation of fluid power systems (www.fluidon.com), to its HyperWorks Enabled
Community (HWEC), bringing the total applications available under the
HyperWorks platform to 46, including 18 third-party software solutions.
HyperWorks customers can now download the latest version (V3.6) of DSHplus
View and Solve, along with all other available applications, at zero
incremental cost using their existing HyperWorks software license system at
www.hyperworkscommunity.com.

“Being part of the HyperWorks Enabled Partner Program gives FLUIDON the
opportunity to provide its simulation tools to the HyperWorks community
worldwide,” said Dr. Heiko Baum, managing director, FLUIDON GmbH. “The
program brings Altair into a position to offer best-in-class solutions for
various applications in addition to the HyperWorks suite. Particularly in
simulating mechatronic systems and in the area of fluid power applications,
FLUIDON is complementing Altair’s offering.”

With the addition of DSHplus, Altair continues to provide its customers
with more software options to diversify and increase their return on
investment in HWEC, and gives third-parties the opportunity to gain added
exposure and marketshare.

“The biggest advantage is for the user, who has access to a broad range of
simulation products to cover almost every application needed at no additional
cost. Joining the partner program therefore leads to a win-win-win situation,
for the customer, for Altair, and for us,” added Dr. Baum.

As one of the world’s leading software for the dynamic calculation of
complex hydraulic and pneumatic systems and components, DSHplus accumulates
decades of experiences in the areas of computer-based design tools and
engineering know-how to solve fluid technical problems. It offers various
state-of-the-art interfaces to support a stand-alone fluid power system
development and to enable a convenient model preparation and exchange for a
mechatronical simulation approach.

HyperWorks is a suite of enterprise analytic applications that includes
statistical, database, visualization and simulation software to help companies
make better business decisions. Its patented on-demand computing licensing
technology allows users to transparently share software licenses globally
across a broad suite of applications. With the HyperWorks Enabled Community,
Altair is extending the HyperWorks Platform from 28 internally developed
solutions to more than 40 with the addition of new third-party ISV
applications like DSHplus. Customers can operate all applications under their
existing HyperWorks software licenses, increasing flexibility and the value of
their investment.

In addition to DSHplus, popular third-party enterprise analytics
applications already available for download in the HyperWorks Enabled
Community (www.hyperworkscommunity.com) include DesignLife from nCode, FEKO
from EMSS, FEMFAT from Magna, SC/Tetra from Software Cradle, CFD++ from
Metacomp, HiQube and solidThinking.

“DSHplus is very complementary to Altair’s MotionSolve and its addition to
the HWEC allows us to expand our multi-body dynamics offering,” said Michael
Humphrey
, Altair vice president of partner programs. “Since the launch of the
program this summer, we have received applications from more than 250 of our
HyperWorks customers. This robust adoption validates the tremendous power and
value of the HyperWorks Enabled Community, which provides our clients with
access to a growing suite of third-party software for little or no incremental
cost, at a time when controlling software spend is critical.”
