Altair acquires SimSolid for structural analysis

Altair has acquired SimSolid and the company says it will change the process of analysis. SimSolid, founded in 2015 was based on technology developed by Victor Apanovitch who was also the co-founded of SimSolid. The company has pioneered meshless analysis.  The software is able to run structural simulations on actual CAD models rather than requiring models to be simplified for analysis.  As Altair says in the release announcing the acquisition, SimSolid was founded as a result of the simple question, why does the geometry used for simulation have to be so different from the actual model being analyzed.  SimSolid works
