Setting Sail with Digital Twins: Altair Gives the Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli Team an Edge in the America’s Cup

Pages 2 Pages

Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli expanded its simulation strategy for the 37th America’s Cup by integrating Altair simulation, HPC, and digital twin technologies. Facing strict design rules and cost limits, the team needed faster insight into structural optimization opportunities. Using Altair’s HPC tools, engineers ran parallel optimization studies to identify high-impact design improvements. Digital twins provided real-time structural health insight using onboard sensor data. The combined approach reduced simulation turnaround time, enabled broader design exploration, and improved decision-making. This holistic workflow delivered a faster development cycle and gave Luna Rossa a competitive edge in elite sailing performance.
