On opening Altair Inspire Studio, you’ll immediately see that the old, vertical palette-driven interface has gone, replaced with a brand-new one that follows Altair’s HyperWorks next-generation styling. So, shall we dive in and see what’s new, updated and changed? New user experience in Altair Inspire

This involves not just a change of name, but also the closer integration of technology from the Altair family and a complete redevelopment of how it looks and operates. Today, the product – now known as Altair Inspire Studio – has undergone the most radical reinvention in its history. It focused on the creation of complex and often organic models, using a combination of curves, surfaces, solids and more recently, PolyNURBS (Altair’s take on the sub-d modelling approach). Originally, SolidThinking Evolve was a product primarily targeted at the industrial and product design market, looking to compete with the likes of Alias, Rhino and other surface-focused modelling tools. Those who have followed these products closely will know that the SolidThinking Inspire application has attracted more attention recently, due to its usefulness in both topology optimisation and additive manufacturing, while SolidThinking Evolve hasn’t seen much of the limelight.

Since Altair acquired Gestel, the developer of SolidThinking, the latter’s products have undergone a renaissance, having access to a wider audience and more development revenue.
