Altair, a leader in computational intelligence, has signed a strategic memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Engine Research Institute at HD Hyundai Heavy Industries. This collaboration aims to revolutionize the development of sustainable marine engines through the use of simulation, artificial intelligence, and predictive technologies. With Altair’s recent integration into Siemens, the partnership is expected to accelerate innovation in response to global decarbonization goals.
Strategic Alliance to Transform Marine Engine Development
Altair and HD Hyundai Heavy Industries are aligning their strengths—Altair’s global AI and simulation capabilities with Hyundai’s marine engine expertise—to shape the next generation of eco-friendly engine design.
The collaboration builds on their longstanding relationship, especially around HiMSEN engine development, and now moves toward next-gen tools like virtual product development and AI-based simulation. This aligns closely with the shipping industry’s push for greener propulsion systems under strict emissions regulations.
AI-Powered Performance Optimization and Predictive Maintenance
The partnership will focus heavily on creating AI-integrated platforms to enhance engine performance, reliability, and diagnostics. Predictive maintenance capabilities will allow for earlier fault detection and fewer operational disruptions. Additionally, AI-driven visualization technologies will play a key role in improving engine safety, offering smarter insights during both design and operation phases.
Leveraging Siemens Synergy for Scalable Innovation
Following Altair’s acquisition by Siemens, the collaboration now benefits from integration with the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio—a suite of industrial software tools that support smarter, faster engineering.
This enables faster design cycles, greater simulation accuracy, and optimized product performance across the shipbuilding lifecycle. It also allows Altair’s technology to scale more efficiently across HD Hyundai Heavy Industries’ engineering workflows.
