Altair’s Squeak and Rattle Director enables expert and novice computer aided engineering (CAE) engineers to rapidly identify and eliminate squeak and rattle in products at an early design stage. By utilizing a novel set of tools and methods in a streamlined, semi-automated process that is fully integrated in the Altair® HyperWorks™ environment, Squeak and Rattle Director simplifies otherwise complex and time-consuming tasks.
Users can easily analyze risks, identify root-causes, find a solution through numerical optimization, and explore effects caused by climate and manufacturing variabilities. Together with the extensive squeak and rattle expertise offered by Altair’s product engineering team, Squeak and Rattle Director is the market-leading solution for perceived quality.
Squeak and Rattle Director Overview Video
Create a high-quality user experience by eliminating unwanted noises related to squeak, rattle and buzz issues.
This streamlined solution identifies risks early in the design process to reduce costs related to unnecessary prototyping and quick fixes later in production.
Combined with structural optimization, eliminate squeak and rattle risks without adding unnecessary weight and cost while considering manufacturing constraints.
The intuitive, process-driven user experience automates repetitive pre and post-processing tasks which enables users to identify squeak and rattle risks quickly, driving faster and better design decisions.
Squeak and rattle risk zones are immediately identified, marked, and visible to user. No need to deep dive into post-processing.
Predict the stick-slip phenomena for different materials with our seamless integration with Ziegler PEM Database
Easily identify the root cause of the issues and perform what-if studies through a sensitivity analysis without re-running the model.
Automatically setup structural optimization to help eliminate squeak and rattle issues by offering new connection locations and/or needed reinforcements.
Assess risk for squeak and rattle by taking into consideration manufacturing variabilities such as variations in thickness, connection stiffnesses, as well as product aging conditions.
