Altair Pulse 2026.1

Altair Pulse 2026.1 is a low-code engineering workflow automation platform designed to coordinate simulation processes, connect engineering applications, and automate repetitive modeling and analysis tasks. It helps engineering teams create reliable, repeatable workflows across multiple software tools, improving productivity and supporting simulation-driven product development.

Key Features of Altair Pulse 2026.1

– Visual Workflow Automation: Build engineering workflows using a graphical block-diagram interface. Drag and drop functional blocks, connect process steps, and organize complex simulation sequences without extensive programming.

– Multi-Application Integration: Connect Altair applications and supported third-party engineering tools, enabling data exchange and coordinated execution across different simulation environments.

– Script-Based Automation: Integrate Tcl, OML, Lua, and Python scripts into reusable workflow blocks to automate calculations, data processing, model preparation, and post-processing tasks.

– Reusable Workflow Libraries: Organize scripts and process blocks into libraries that can be reused and shared across engineering teams, helping standardize established procedures and reduce duplicated work.

– Simulation Process Orchestration: Coordinate multiple modeling and simulation steps into a single workflow, including task sequencing, data transfer, application launching, and execution monitoring.

– Reduced-Order Model Integration: Combine computationally efficient reduced-order models (ROMs) with detailed computer-aided engineering (CAE) simulations to accelerate design exploration and performance evaluation.

– Automated Data Transfer and Traceability: Manage the transfer of parameters and simulation results between applications, helping improve data consistency and maintain traceability throughout engineering workflows.

– Workflow Monitoring: Track task execution through visual status indicators, making it easier to identify incomplete steps and manage complex automated processes.

– Low-Code Customization: Allow engineers to create custom workflows through graphical configuration and existing scripts, reducing the need to develop standalone automation applications.

– Simulation-Driven Design Optimization: Support repeatable engineering studies, design comparisons, what-if scenarios, and multidisciplinary development workflows.
