Supreme Industries adopted Altair HyperWorks to design and validate high-strength plastic products for demanding applications. Facing complex load, impact, and durability requirements, the company used OptiStruct and Radioss to optimize ribbing structures, reduce weight, and ensure structural integrity. Simulation replaced extensive physical prototyping, cutting prototype counts by 50% and achieving weight reductions of up to 15%. The approach enabled Supreme to confidently enter new product segments such as manhole covers, defense drop boxes, and underground tanks while maintaining quality, reducing development time, and lowering manufacturing costs.
