Intrinsys Partners with Altair to Reduce CATIA V5 Users' Product Development
Time Through Optimization Technology
Leading PLM service provider joins HyperWorks channel partner program to bring
HyperShape/CATIA to UK CATIA V5 community

TROY, Mich., July 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Altair Engineering, Inc., a leading global
provider of technology and services that empowers client innovation and
decision-making, announced today that Intrinsys, a leading PLM service
provider, has joined the HyperWorks channel partner program to resell Altair's
CATIA V5 integrated optimization technology, HyperShape(R)/CATIA, to the UK
design and engineering community.

HyperShape/CATIA is a direct integration between Dassault Systemes' CATIA V5
solution and Altair's award-winning design optimization technology,
OptiStruct. The integrated solution helps frontload the development process
with optimization technology to assist companies in achieving the demands of
modern product design. This includes: reducing mass, minimizing material
content, liberating designs with novel and optimal topology, as well as
enabling non finite-element experts, such as CAD engineers working with CATIA,
to develop structurally efficient, high-performance products in reduced
timescales. HyperShape/CATIA consistently delivers dramatic improvements in
design performance and allows companies to achieve product and business
objectives considerably faster than conventional development methods.

"Altair's HyperShape/CATIA technology is the perfect addition to our software
product line for CATIA clients who are under increasing pressure to remove
weight and material from their designs and improve product performance, saving
both time and money," said Darren Cairns, Director of Intrinsys. "We are
pleased about this new partnership with Altair and look forward to
significantly enhancing the value of the solution and support for our
customers."

"Intrinsys is a highly respected PLM services provider to the CATIA community
and through its sister company, Integral Powertrain, is a recognized
practitioner of best-practice powertrain engineering," said Maurice Linscott,
Altair UK Regional Managing Director. "Enabling structural optimization
earlier in the design process, before the definition of restrictive topology,
is essential to ensure the development of optimal designs which meet or exceed
the performance targets with the lowest product cost. We are confident that
Altair's collaboration with Intrinsys will assist UK designers in achieving
and exceeding their product performance and business objectives."

About HyperShape/CATIA
HyperShape/CATIA is the direct process integration of Dassault Systemes' CATIA
V5 design environment and Altair's OptiStruct design optimization technology.
HyperShape/CATIA generates structurally optimal design concepts, from supplied
packaging information to loads, constraints and product performance
requirements. Typically used before CAD design, HyperShape/CATIA helps CATIA
V5 designers develop lightweight, high-performance design proposals. With
HyperShape/CATIA technology, companies can achieve product and business
objectives significantly faster than by using conventional design practices.
