Altair SEAM 2026 Release Notes

New Features

Critical Path Method: For post-processing, this new features helps you identify all paths from which energy is transferred from the source to the receiver, as well as identifying the most critical path through which energy is transferred to the receiver.
Structural Junction: "M.C. Escher" Template: "M.C. Escher" junctions model a junction with many SEA subsystems, which are connected in a way that is not physically accurate, but must define complicated structures. Use this template to attach 5/6 structural subsystems along the line junction and manually assign the definition.

Structural Junction: Enhancements have been made to support element contact stiffness for all subsystems defined in a junction using the tabular format.
Weight Optimization: Added a feature to track and optimize the weight of the sound package that is available in the model.
