TROY,
Mich., June 12, 2024 /CNW/
-- Altair (Nasdaq: ALTR), a global leader in
computational intelligence, is thrilled to showcase the highlights
of its role as the official computational science and artificial
intelligence (AI) partner for the New York Yacht Club (NYYC)
American Magic team ahead of its quest for victory in the
37th America's Cup, beginning August 22.
Throughout the development cycle for the 37th
America's Cup, Altair's computational fluid dynamics (CFD),
structural analysis, data analytics, and high-performance computing
(HPC) technology has transformed American Magic's yacht design and
testing process. Through its use of Altair's technology and
expertise the team designed a state-of-the-art "AC75" yacht.
Altair's technology expedited and simplified the American Magic
engineering team's development process to ensure they can iterate
and discover new design insights faster than ever – a pivotal
capability to have in a race where cutting-edge yachts can reach
speeds of more than 55 mph and appear to "fly" out of the water.
Altair's unique blend of technological and domain expertise was a
pivotal part of the American Magic team's development, enabling
them to build a yacht capable of winning on the world's biggest
stage.
"Our work with American Magic demonstrates the power of Altair's
convergence and computational intelligence vision on a global stage
like no other," said Jim Scapa,
founder and chief executive officer, Altair. "They are a
world-class organization that is always looking to find new ways to
innovate and succeed – just as Altair is. This is truly a
collaboration between two organizations who share the same values,
vision, and desire to excel. We are delighted that the American
Magic team turned to us in their search for the market's finest
computational intelligence technology, and I cannot wait to see
their hard work in action."
"We are thankful to have had Altair's technology and support
propel our journey to win the 37th America's Cup," said
Mike Cazer, chief executive officer,
NYYC American Magic. "Altair's best-in-class technology was crucial
in helping us design a yacht that enhances the team's capability to
win the America's Cup in October. Altair has been an instrumental
partner, and we are looking forward to seeing our teams' hard work
out on the water."
The 37th America's Cup begins in Barcelona, Spain on August 22 with the Preliminary Regatta, followed
by the Challenger Series. The 37th America's Cup Match
will take place October 12-21 in a
best-of-thirteen series.
