Altair (Nasdaq: ALTR), a global technology company providing
solutions in product development, high-performance computing (HPC),
and data analytics, today announced a multi-year technical
partnership agreement with Ducati Corse, the racing division of the
legendary Italian motorcycle manufacturer.
Ducati will expand its use of Altair’s computer-aided
engineering (CAE) software for product development, providing
Ducati Corse engineers with a vital competitive edge in their
200mph-plus pursuit of racetrack success. Altair will sponsor the
team in the MotoGP World Championship, which began in Spain on July
17, 2020.
Ducati Corse is a long-standing user of Altair design and
simulation tools, and the new agreement will expand this
relationship in critical areas including aerodynamics, fluid
dynamics, weight optimization, structural optimization, vehicle
dynamics, and advanced powertrain technology. In a sport where the
difference between success and failure is often measured in
milliseconds, Altair’s software will help Ducati engineers explore,
optimize, and implement innovative ideas more quickly and
efficiently than ever.
“We are delighted to welcome Altair as a Ducati Corse technical
partner for the start of the 2020 MotoGP season. Strengthening the
team’s partnership with an industry leader in advanced CAE and
simulation will help extend our technology leadership in the
fastest, most demanding motorcycle racing environment on the
planet,” said Luigi Dall’Igna, Ducati Corse general manager.
“Altair is all about empowering talented and visionary engineers
to deliver innovation and excellence. In this respect, the synergy
with Ducati Corse is perfect,” said James Scapa, Altair’s chief
executive officer and founder. “This new agreement means we can
forge an even closer relationship through our software and
consultancy to support the Ducati Corse engineering team as it
transforms bold concepts into race-winning performances.”
