Set up your model and run a structural analysis or optimization.
Set up and run a linear static analysis using the SimSolid or OptiStruct solver. You can also analyze normal modes and buckling modes.
Choose whether to run jobs locally or on a remote job server.
Discover new features and enhancements.
New to Inspire? Learn the basics here.
Start using Inspire with our interactive tutorials.
Create parametric sketches, geometry, and PolyNURBS with construction history and variables.
Create implicit models with primitives, lattices, point clouds, fields, offsetting, Booleans, inverting, smoothing, morphing, and filleting.
Create connections and apply loads, constraints, materials, and manufacturing controls to your model.
You can choose whether to use SimSolid or OptiStruct as the solver when running a structural analysis.
Add and configure an Altair PBS server to run jobs remotely.
Manually copy a prepared model file and queue it on a remote jobs server.
Define and run a linear static, normal modes, or buckling modes analysis, then export a FEM file.
Use the Show Analysis Results tool to view the results of a linear static, normal modes, or buckling modes analysis in the Analysis Explorer. View and animate results, add callouts, and compare results from different runs.
Inspire provides several types of linear static analysis results, as well as normal modes and buckling modes analysis.
Use the Animation Toolbar that appears at the bottom of the modeling window to animate and record results.
Set up and run a topology, topography, or gauge optimization.
Generate PPT or PDF reports from analysis results. The Report tools are available after you have run an analysis.
Set up and run a motion analysis, plot the results, and export the results.
Prepare and run a computational fluid dynamics simulation.
Evaluate designs by using geometric variables and applying a design-of-experiments (DOE) or optimization method. We recommend fully constraining your sketch when sketch variables are used in the design exploration.
Set up and run a basic porosity or thinning analysis.
Prepare and run an additive manufacturing simulation, and export a file for 3D printing.
Adjust the materials and environment of objects in the scene to create a photorealistic image.
Learn how to access the Inspire Python API including online help, quick start demos, and the Extension Manager.
