Altair: Material data augmentation and AI-powered prediction of material behaviour
Altair will present its design solutions for the plastics industry at Fakuma 2021, Friedrichshafen, Germany, 12 – 16 October 2021, in Hall B1, stand B1-1225. Highlights at the stand are: design-related simulation for component and tool development, integrative simulation, the Altair Material Data Center, and solutions from the Altair AI portfolio.

The almost infinite variety of materials and material combinations in thermoplastics, for example, makes it impossible to test all material variants, especially when taking into account external influences such as ageing, chemical reaction, or irradiation of the material.
Efficient multi-scale material modelling enables a better prediction quality of the behaviour of reinforced plastic components. (Source: Altair)
- increase transparency: users can instantly find existing tests performed on other machines, in other labs, or even in other regions.
- simplify accessibility: using the existing Material Data Center, optimized for storing and accessing material data via browser/API.
- enable better predictions: predict new materials for which there is no prior testing.

As a central database, the Material Data Center simplifies the storage of and access to material data through browser-based interfaces. This allows physical material testing to be reduced by up to 30 %, resulting in substantial cost savings through faster time to market.

LWB-Automation: Successful in-house-exhibition
From 16 – 24 August 2021, an in-house-exhibition took place at LWB-Automation in Weinheim, Germany, which was aimed at pre-invited company teams and was very well received. One of the reasons for this was the "anti-corona security concept" with pre-booked "time-slots", which limited the number of visitors present at the same time. The side effect of these measures, which was perceived as positive by both sides, was that it made it possible to provide interested parties with individual and more in-depth support.

BASF's Coatings division, a global supplier of durable and sustainable refinish coatings, is using a broad range of hardeners, including Covestro Desmodur Ultra activators. This allows BASF to upgrade its refinish coatings portfolio to meet higher occupational safety standards on the use of isocyanates. The hardeners contain very low residual amounts of monomeric diisocyanates of less than 0.1 % by weight, setting an entirely new standard in occupational hygiene.
