This campus-wide agreement means students across science, engineering and health courses can access world-class engineering tools,” he said.Īssociate Dean of Aerospace Engineering and Aviation Professor Pier Marzocca welcomes the agreement. Now working with it, I can see the level of impact it has in industry and it will only continue to grow. “I used some of the design software during my studies but wasn’t taught HyperWorks. Students are currently using the simulation software as part of RMIT Combustion and Electric Racing, which competes in the Formula SAE competition, and the RMIT unmanned aircraft systems research team, which has seen staff and students showcase high-tech autonomous drones in overseas competition,” said Kennedy. “RMIT had previous, limited access to the software.
The agreement is the brainchild of Joel Kennedy, an RMIT alumni and Project Engineer at Altair. It’s the first time American-based Altair has worked with an Australian University to enable access to its engineering software programs for teaching and non-commercial research use and the agreement is another great example of RMIT’s commitment to delivering industry-ready graduates.
The technology is used by companies including Boeing, BAE, Telstra and GM Holden to reduce the weight of aeroplane and automotive structures, make Japan’s high-speed bullet trains safer, develop ultra-light bikes and drones, create wireless sensors that detect damage to planes from lighting strikes and for simulating bio-electromagnetic effects. RMIT students and staff in the College of Science, Engineering and Health will get unlimited access to high-end simulation software used by engineers across the world under a first of its kind agreement in Australia with global company Altair Engineering.
Melbourne, Vic., Octo– Altair (Nasdaq:ALTR) and RMIT University, Australia announce wider access to students and staff for the Altair HyperWorks™ and solidThinking suites.
