GE and Altair Sign Agreement for Exclusive Distribution of GE’s Flow Simulator Software
May 07 2018 - 4:05PM
Altair (Nasdaq:ALTR) and GE have signed a multi-year software
agreement making Altair the exclusive distributor for GE’s Flow
Simulator software. This comprehensive engine system modeling
software provides the functionality of numerous tools for fluid
systems to enable multi-disciplinary analyses. Altair will leverage
its expertise in commercial software deployment and support, broad
industry domain knowledge, and global footprint to expand the
technology’s adoption.
“We are very excited to work with Altair Engineering to
commercialize our Flow Simulator software, a GE state-of-the-art
engine system modeling tool,” said Gary Mercer, Vice President and
General Manager of Engineering for GE Aviation. “This software
helped guide GE to design world record efficient gas turbines and
the more advanced aircraft engines in the industry.”
Developed internally by GE with a modern Graphics User Interface
(GUI), GE’s Flow Simulator is a robust multi-grid based solver.
It uses the powerful continuity-based Newton-Raphson method,
encompassing several numerical techniques that conquer the
robustness issues of stiff fluid system designs. It currently
serves more than 1,500 users as a single-fluid system modeling tool
across the aerothermal and combustion engineering design
communities at GE.
“Flow Simulator’s mixed fidelity simulation capabilities for
engine systems fill an important gap to help improve design
processes and reduce development, manufacturing and operational
costs for many organizations. It is a welcome addition to Altair’s
strong multiphysics system modeling portfolio,” said Dr. Uwe
Schramm, Chief Technical Officer at Altair.
In June, Altair and GE experts will demonstrate Flow Simulator
software at the ASME Turbo Expo taking place in Oslo Norway. Learn
