Altair signs new agreement with Ducati Corse

Global technology company Altair has just announced a multi-year technical partnership agreement with Ducati Corse. The racing division of the legendary Italian motorcycle manufacturer will be expanding its use of Altar’s computer-aided engineering software for product development. This will provide Ducati Corse engineers with a vital competitive edge in their 200mph-plus pursuit of racetrack success. Altair will also sponsor the team in the MotoGP World Championship too.

Ducati Corse is a long-standing user of Altair design and simulation tools. The new agreement will expand this relationship in critical areas. This includes aerodynamics, fluid dynamics, weight optimization, structural optimization, vehicle dynamics, and advanced powertrain technology. Altair’s software will help Ducati engineers explore, optimize, and implement innovative ideas more quickly and efficiently than ever.
