TROY ? Altair has acquired EM Software & Systems – S.A., makers of FEKO electromagnetic field analysis software. FEKO is now part of Altair’s computer-aided engineering suite HyperWorks. Altair gains a local presence in South Africa where personnel in Stellenbosch will be responsible for all Altair sales and support activities in the region.
“Altair’s flexible software licensing model replaces traditional licensing plans with a pay-per-use system, which means that users can use multiple applications for a unit-based flat rate rather than paying for each license,” explains Gronum Smith, newly appointed country manager for Altair South Africa. “This approach leads to higher software utilisation, making companies more productive while reducing costs and resulting in a higher return on investment.”
HyperWorks users also have access to a broad range of complementary product offerings from independent software vendors through the Altair Partner Alliance. Software covering areas such as composite modeling, plastic injection molding as well as project- and complexity management, durability, fatigue, noise, vibration and harshness are just some of the solutions available.
