Altair Activate vs. PathWave System Design vs. Wolfram System Modeler vs. jscoverage Comparison Chart

Altair Activate can be applied to model and simulate a broad range of products as a system-of-systems to discover better designs, faster. Products in every industry are becoming increasingly complex and electrified, as well as smarter and more connected. Multi-disciplinary system-level simulation capabilities help develop smart, complex mechatronic systems holistically while enabling more streamlined product development teamwork and workflows. Altair Activate breaks down silos between mechanical subsystems, electrical subsystems, control subsystems, electronic subsystems, software, hardware-in-the-loop, data analytics, and more. Model thermal-fluid system dynamics using 1D modeling &and simulation (rather than using only 3D CFD) to yield nearly-as-accurate results significantly faster – to enable more design exploration and optimized performance in less time.

Using drag and drop from the large selection of built-in and expandable modeling libraries, you can build industrial-strength, multidomain models of your complete system. Adding the power of the Wolfram Language gives you a fully integrated environment for analyzing, understanding and quickly iterating system designs. Driving insight, innovation and results. Real-world machines and systems are rarely confined to a single physical domain. Models can contain any combination of interconnected components from any number of domains mimicking real-world topology. Exploration is immediate; at the click of a button, you have access to all values from every component in your model. Zoom in to a region of interest and choose from built-in plot styles with a point-and-click interface. Perform your own symbolic and numerical computations by accessing the full model equations and simulation results of your models. Bring the full power of the Wolfram Language to your model analysis.
