Case Study: Sika Group achieves 70% faster modeling and lighter, stronger, quieter vehicle designs with Altair's design space workflow

New Design Space Workflow for Structural Inserts at Sika

Sika Group, a specialty chemicals leader in bonding, sealing, damping, reinforcing and protecting solutions for building and automotive markets, faced time‑consuming workflows when developing structural inserts and BIW noise‑reduction/NVH solutions. To speed decision‑making and cut modeling overhead, Sika Group engaged Altair and adopted the Altair design space workflow.

Altair’s design space workflow removed manual steps and streamlined Sika Group’s process, reducing modeling time by 70% and shrinking decision cycles from hours to minutes. The faster, deeper part evaluation produced lighter, stronger, quieter components and helped Sika Group win the 2018 Altair Enlighten Award for an ultra‑light constrained‑layer composite—demonstrating clear productivity and performance gains driven by Altair.
