Electromagnetic, Electric, and Thermal Analysis

What is Altair Flux?

Flux captures the complexity of electromechanical equipment to optimize their performance, efficiency, dimensions, cost or weight with precision, bringing better innovation and value products to end users. Flux simulates magneto static, steady-state and transient conditions, along with electrical and thermal properties.

For over 35 years, Flux simulation software has been the reference worldwide within leading industries. With its continuously improving technology, Flux has become a versatile, efficient and user-friendly tool that helps designers to generate optimized and high-performance products, in less time and with fewer prototypes.

With strong coupling to the Altair HyperWorks™ multiphysics optimization platform, Flux evaluates subsystems’ dynamic interactions and streamlines the entire design process.
