The 2023 release of Altair Multibody solutions for HyperWorks is around the corner, and it is packed with very exciting features! Here are the main highlights.

This version marks the transition of Altair MotionView® to a new modern interface replacing the classic Desktop, offering an enhanced user experience for Multibody simulations. The new interface offers new easy to use workflows to create and edit entities with guidebars, micro-dialogs, and entity editors. What is more exciting is the solve and review workflow with live visuals of the solution progress, animating the results right within MotionView! It also tracks the run history, offering easy access to previously run models and their results.

Starting with this release, MotionView supports extensions facilitated by the Extension Manager. These extensions represent an innovative approach to integrating custom tools and solutions seamlessly into the product interface. This streamlined integration method ensures a cohesive user experience, allowing users to effortlessly harness the power of extensions while navigating the product interface.

The Vehicle solutions will be one of the first available extensions, complete with its unique workflow, components, and event library, all conveniently accessible through the Entity Browser.

Furthermore, the Car library has been enhanced, particularly in powertrain and driveline systems, now featuring advanced options such as center differentials, limited slip differentials, and automatic transmission models. Additionally, the tire and road models have been refined to incorporate soft-soil effects and custom obstacles, offering a more realistic simulation experience. Notably, this innovative soft-soil solution is versatile, being applicable to both tires and tracked vehicles within the same model, ensuring a unified and comprehensive approach to simulation.

A Machinery extension will be available soon at the Altair Marketplace. The Machinery extension consists of a library of gears and bearings as higher-level entities that can be used in Motion models.

Hi @Antony Paul  - No. There is no H arm suspension geometry in MotionView 2023. Someone in the community might have it. You may also be able to modify an existing suspension to H arm.
