Altair Engineering has opened an office in Montreal, the hub of Canada's aerospace industry. The expansion follows an increase in demand for Altair's HyperWorks suite of computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools among major aerospace manufacturers and suppliers in Canada. The new office, located at 469 Rue Jean Talon Ouest, conducts technical support and engineering projects and is consulting with aerospace companies on deployment of HyperWorks solutions. ‘Altair's success with the Canadian aerospace industry is the result of both our simulation technology and our flexible licensing model, which allows customers to draw from a common bank of licensing units for any HyperWorks software,’ said Altair Canada president, Jean Pierre Roux.
