Case Study: Wagon Automotive achieves accelerated product development and reduced prototyping costs with Altair HyperWorks (Altair)

HyperWorks at Wagon Automotive Speeding Development Time While Cutting Prototype Costs

Wagon Automotive, a Tier One supplier serving OEMs like VW, Audi and Toyota, needed to speed product development and lower rising prototyping costs while preserving high quality. The company turned to Altair and its HyperWorks suite (HyperView, HyperStudy, HyperMesh, OptiStruct, HyperForm) to perform end-to-end CAE from concept through optimization.

Altair’s HyperWorks was deployed across Wagon Automotive’s entire development cycle, enabling virtual FEA for door modules, crash management and many iterative design studies. As a result, Wagon Automotive cut physical prototypes roughly in half, halved design effort through increased simulation use, and drastically reduced development costs and cycle times — benefits the company attributes to Altair’s software and responsive support.
