Altair develops and
implements intelligent
simulation technologies that
allow users to significantly reduce
the weight of their products,
saving cost, fuel and CO 2
emissions. Instead of taking
a product that’s already been
designed and just shaving off
material, the company takes
a different approach, called
‘simulation-driven design’,
where CAD and CAE are
deployed in parallel.
Using optimization
technologies, clients can define
a design space, an area wherethe component must fit in the
structure, including data of any
holes or access points required.
Loads are applied to the design
space along with manufacturing
constraints and other variables,
allowing the technology to
suggest the best-possible
material layout, for the
component which meets the
predetermined performance
targets set out.
Over the last two decades,
Altair has pioneered simulation-
driven design to generate
innovative design solutions
for its clients. This has resultedin products that exhibit minimum
weight and outstanding
performance in industry-leading
timescales.
Altair’s software solutions
enable users to design high-
performance, weight-efficient
structures, starting in the concept
design phase. Designers and
architects can use ‘solidThinking
Inspire’ to generate and explore
structurally efficient concepts in a
friendly and intuitive environment.Moving to product engineers
and analysts, HyperWorks offers
optimization solutions for both
concept studies and design fine-
tuning stages. OptiStruct, Altair’s
award-winning integrated analysis
and optimization tool, along with
HyperStudy, Altair’s design
exploration software, enable a
multidisciplinary product design
cycle even for the most complex
of structures.INNOVATIVE DESIGN CAN MAKE
ANYTHING LIGHTER

Hydraulic servicing trolleys
have the task of suppling the
energy to keep up the hydraulic
pressure in an aircraft when the
engines are not turning. Apart
from supplying the aircraft with
hydraulic pressure, the Test-Fuchs
hydraulic servicing trolleys can
also conduct various other tasks
which include: rinsing tasks such
as cleaning, water removal;
filtering or degasification of the
hydraulic medium; leakage tests
or function tests on the ground.
These trolleys are necessary
in civilian as well as military
aviation. However the military use
of such equipment requires many
more features than the civilian
applications and the trolleys
have to resist much more than
just ‘normal’ circumstances in
harsh environments.
Test-Fuchs has already
designed and delivered 145
military hydraulic servicing trolley
units incorporating a number of
features that are difficult to find
in any other devices. Recently
the Test-Fuchs hydraulic servicing
trolley has been put into service
for the first time in the German
Air Force for the Airbus A400M.
The training for its use and
maintenance has been
successfully carried out in the
German region of Wunstorf.
The device had to undergo
extreme stress tests in order to
prove its operation in even the
most inhospitable circumstances.
The hydraulic servicing trolley
operates without difficulties
between temperatures of -32°C
and +55°C, up to an altitude
of 1,500m, and it is compact
and rugged enough to be
transported by train, ship,
or even via aircraft, to
remote areas.
The trolley is
electromagnetically compatible
and does not interfere with any
other appliance. The noise level,
even in the diesel-powered
models, is extremely low – an
important feature when it comes
to a combat mission.
The trolley is operated via a
tethered touchscreen panel that
can be removed, allowing the
operator to carry out tasks even
when he is not next to the trolley.
