Altair Compose software is an environment for doing calculations, manipulating and visualizing data (including from CAE simulations or test results), programming and debugging scripts useful for repeated computations and process automation. Altair Compose allows users to perform a wide variety of math & linear algebra (including matrix analysis and differential equations), filter signals, fit polynomials through data, approximate or check results from commercial simulation software, perform optimization.

Why Altair Compose?
Better Engineering Decisions
Perform useful engineering calculations based on first principles, either one-time or repeatedly (when archivable as reusable scripts). Pre- or post-process data. Plot results. Make informed decisions.

Affordably All-in-One
All capabilities are available in a single, multi-functional tool with a user-friendly Integrated Development Environment (IDE). No additional toolboxes required.

Easily Accessible
Readily usable on its own or with other Altair products, with easy access through Altair’s innovative licensing system (available via HyperWorks units, solidThinking units, and/or Carriots units).

Features
Numerical Computing
Hundreds of powerful math operations and built-in functions – for calculations ranging from ultra simple to super complex.

All-in-One
A single product with an Integrated Development Environment (IDE). No separate toolboxes and extra costs required.

Multi-language Math Environment
Based on the Open Matrix Language (OML), is also compatible with Octave and Python.

Process Automation & Scripting
Especially handy when doing often-repeated calculations or streamlining common processes. Also includes a useful debugging ability.

Plotting & Visualization
Useful 2D and 3D plots provide richer insight from your calculations & data.

Built-in CAE Data Readers
Makes it extremely simple (and fast) to import, visualize, and manipulate input & output data for CAE tools such as FEA, CFD, etc.
