Why Choose Volupe and Altair?
Volupe is a Siemens Platinum Smart Expert Solutions Partner and Altair Channel Partner. We combine deep technical simulation expertise with the commercial and logistical support of an authorized reseller. When you work with Volupe, you get:
Technical support from simulation engineers. Our support team includes specialists in structural analysis, CFD, optimization, and manufacturing simulation. You will not be routed through a generic helpdesk — you reach people who understand your engineering problem.
A single partner for Altair and Simcenter. Following Siemens’ acquisition of Altair, the simulation landscape is converging. Volupe is one of the few partners in Europe that bridges both the Altair and Simcenter portfolios. Whether you need Altair SimSolid for rapid structural analysis or Simcenter STAR-CCM+ for advanced CFD, we handle it from one point of contact.
Training and onboarding. We provide both standard and customized training courses for Altair products, delivered by engineers who use the software in real projects. See our training offerings.
Altair Units — Flexible Licensing for Your Entire Team
Altair Units is a shared-pool licensing model that gives every engineer in your organization on-demand access to the full Altair product suite — over 180 products including simulation, data analytics, and HPC tools. Instead of purchasing separate licenses for each product, your team draws from a common pool of Units. When someone finishes using a tool, the Units return for others to use.
This model is particularly valuable for organizations that use multiple Altair products across different departments, or where usage varies between projects. It eliminates the need to forecast which specific products each team will need and reduces the risk of underutilized licenses.
Volupe helps you size the right Units package, handles the licensing administration, and provides onboarding to ensure your team gets productive quickly. Contact us for a tailored quote.
The Altair Portfolio — From Concept to Production
Altair provides one of the broadest simulation software portfolios in the engineering industry. From finite element analysis and computational fluid dynamics to topology optimization, multibody dynamics, electromagnetic simulation, and manufacturing process simulation — the Altair suite covers the full product development lifecycle in a single, integrated platform.
With the 2025 Siemens acquisition of Altair, these tools are now part of the Siemens Xcelerator ecosystem. As a Siemens Platinum Smart Expert Solutions Partner and Altair Channel Partner, Volupe gives you a single point of contact for the combined Altair and Simcenter simulation portfolios — licenses, onboarding, technical support, and customized training.
All Altair products are accessible through Altair Units, a flexible token-based licensing model. Your organization purchases a pool of Units that can be shared across teams and checked out on demand for any Altair product. When a user finishes, the Units return to the pool. This means you are not locked into individual product licenses — your investment scales with your needs.
Altair provides a comprehensive suite of engineering simulation tools covering structural analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), electromagnetic simulation, multibody dynamics, topology optimization, and manufacturing process simulation. The portfolio includes well-known products like HyperMesh, OptiStruct, SimSolid, Inspire, EDEM, and Radioss, all accessible through the Altair HyperWorks platform.
Altair Units is a flexible, token-based licensing model where your organization purchases a shared pool of tokens. Any team member can check out Units on demand to use any Altair product. When they finish, the Units return to the pool for others to use. This eliminates the need for separate per-product licenses and gives your team access to over 180 Altair and partner products.
Yes. Volupe is an Altair Channel Partner and Siemens Platinum Smart Expert Solutions Partner. We provide licenses, technical support, and training for the full Altair and Simcenter simulation portfolios across the Nordics and a growing part of Europe.
Altair and Simcenter are both simulation software portfolios now owned by Siemens. Altair focuses on structural optimization, generative design, manufacturing simulation, and HPC, while Simcenter emphasizes multiphysics simulation, system simulation, and testing. Volupe provides licenses and support for both portfolios, helping customers choose the right tools for each engineering challenge.
Yes. Altair offers trial access through Altair One. Contact Volupe to arrange a guided trial with technical support, so you can evaluate the tools in the context of your actual engineering workflows.
No. SimSolid is entirely meshless. It works directly on the native CAD geometry without any mesh generation or geometry simplification. This is the core technology difference that gives SimSolid its speed and ease-of-use advantages. The solver uses the theory of external approximations — a mathematical generalization of FEM — to compute results directly on the geometric shapes.
Fluid Dynamics & Thermal Simulation
From internal combustion engine cooling to external vehicle aerodynamics, Altair provides CFD solvers ranging from rapid GPU-based tools for design engineers to high-fidelity solvers for specialist analysts.
