Worldwide Aerospace Supplier, LISI AEROSPACE, Chooses HyperWorks to Streamline
Development Processes for Fastener Systems

Benchmark proves HyperMesh and HyperView to be best solutions to improve
development processes at aerospace supplier

TROY, Mich., June 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Altair Engineering, Inc.(www.altair.com),
a leading global provider of technology and services that empowers client
innovation and decision-making, announced today that LISI AEROSPACE
(www.lisi-aerospace.com), one of the leading providers of aeronautical
fasteners and assembly components, has chosen the HyperWorks simulation
platform in combination with its non linear simulation tools to reduce the
time needed to develop new fastener systems.

"When selecting a new CAE product suite, we were strongly focused on finding a
powerful toolset that would streamline our pre- and post-processing
activities," said Antoine Villet, FEA simulation engineer, LISI AEROSPACE. "In
HyperWorks we found the tool suite we were looking for and throughout the
entire benchmark and selection process Altair's support was outstanding.
HyperWorks modeling and visualization solutions, HyperMesh and HyperView, best
suited our needs allowing us to model our components more accurately and
faster. The open architecture of the software family is an additional plus
since it allows us to use our component models with any type of solver that
might be required."

LISI AEROSPACE aggressively pursues using more simulation throughout their
development processes. With their selection of HyperWorks, they will use
HyperMesh to streamline the creation of finite element models to support their
forging simulation processes. The broad range of HyperMesh algorithms for
surface and volume meshing will help to drive future development activities at
LISI AEROSPACE. HyperView, the HyperWorks post-processing solution, will be
used for results visualization and automating reporting tasks.

"The close cooperation with LISI engineers during this benchmark allowed us to
gain a much deeper understanding of their development processes, allowing our
customer support team to really highlight core HyperWorks functionality to
meet their needs and objectives," said Mauro Guglielminotti, regional manager,
Altair Engineering France. "This win is consistent with the growing adoption
of HyperWorks that we see in the French aerospace industry. As the Lisi
benchmark proved, the combination of our CAE technology, flexible licensing
system, and open architecture software philosophy makes a compelling argument
for manufacturers seeking a technological advantage and reduction in software
costs."
