Altair and HD Hyundai Heavy Industries have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to support the development of eco-friendly marine engines using AI and simulation technologies.
The agreement will see Altair work with HD Hyundai’s Engine Research Institute to develop virtual product design and predictive analytics tools aimed at improving engine performance, reducing development cycles, and supporting compliance with tightening environmental regulations.
Altair, which was recently acquired by Siemens, will integrate its AI and simulation platforms with Siemens’ Xcelerator industrial software tools as part of the partnership. The collaboration will focus on simulation-based design, predictive maintenance, AI-based visualisation, and engine optimisation.
“HD Hyundai Heavy Industries and Altair have continuously collaborated on the development of simulation technologies for high-quality HiMSEN engine designs,” said An Sung Chan, vice president and head of the Engine Research Institute, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries.
“With Altair now part of Siemens, the development of next-generation engine design technologies—such as virtual product development and AI-based engine simulation—is expected to further accelerate.”
