Altair, a global technology company providing solutions in product development, high-performance computing and data intelligence, is pleased to welcome XenomatiX true-solid-state lidars to the Altair Partner Alliance (APA).

Altair offers on-demand access to a broad spectrum of software applications from over 55 companies in Altair’s Partner Alliance. Altair’s customers are able to leverage a wide range of software tools from a centralized source, helping them reduce time to market, increase intelligent design, and make smarter decisions faster.

Altair users will now also have access to digital road data tracked by its high-precision Road LiDAR, XenoTrack from XenomatiX. Through XenoTrack, different road pavement types and their unique characteristics are available, including paved surfaces like concrete, asphalt, cobblestone, and unpaved surfaces like dirt, gravel, and sand. Studying the pavement type’s influence on vehicle behavior will give Altair users insight regarding road-vehicle interaction. With these tools, users will have the power to combine real-world road inputs to model components and design elements more accurately.

“With XenomatiX’ tools, OEMs and auto manufacturers who utilize the APA will get access to high-quality technology that accurately models down to the millimeter,” said Kris De Meester, vice president of sales and marketing, XenomatiX. “Thanks to the APA, Altair users can now expand their simulation tools with real-life road input data.”
