The Challenge
M.TEC Engineering, a Germany-based engineering service provider, was facing the challenge of meeting growing customer demands for specialized development services across various sectors. As a company that offers a wide range of services including industrial design, mechanical design, material selection, calculation simulation, prototype development, testing, industrialization, tooling, and quality assurance, M.TEC needed flexible access to a variety of software tools. The company was also experiencing constant growth and was striving to become one of Germany's leading service providers for plastics and composite technologies. A specific use case highlighted was the optimization and redesign of a faulty expansion oil tank, which required a comprehensive re-simulation and re-design of the entire oil tank model.
About The Customer
M.TEC Engineering is an engineering service provider based in Herzogenrath/Aachen, Germany. The company serves a variety of sectors including automotive, medical, telecommunication, household appliances, building technology, heating and air conditioning, and electronics industries. M.TEC specializes in creative engineering in plastics technology and product development, offering services such as industrial design, mechanical design, material selection, calculation simulation, prototype development, testing, industrialization, tooling, and quality assurance. The company has also developed core competencies in fluid dynamics, light conductor techniques, and acoustics, making it one of the few engineering service providers offering this comprehensive know-how, especially in the field of component simulation.
The Solution
M.TEC found a solution to their challenges through the Altair Partner Alliance (APA). The APA membership allowed M.TEC engineers to access multiple software tools flexibly, enabling them to meet customer demands and complete development projects in a timely manner. M.TEC had been using Altair’s HyperWorks suite of computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools since 1999 and expanded its use to include new products such as OptiStruct, RADIOSS, and several third-party solutions from the APA. The APA license allowed M.TEC to use the HyperWorks licenses for other tools at no incremental costs. This provided M.TEC with the flexibility to use many different tools on-demand while keeping costs low and predictable.
Operational Impact
  • The APA membership has provided M.TEC with significant operational benefits. The ability to access a variety of software tools flexibly has allowed M.TEC to meet diverse customer demands and complete development projects efficiently. The APA license system has also enabled M.TEC to use the HyperWorks licenses for other tools at no additional costs, providing the company with more software flexibility at reduced and more predictable costs. This has resulted in better customer service offerings and substantial business growth. Furthermore, the APA membership has allowed M.TEC to find the best solutions for their customers from an economical point of view, as they can access many different tools on-demand without having to purchase individual licenses for each tool.
Quantitative Benefit
  • Substantial business growth due to flexible software use and access
  • Customer guidelines and software requirements met easily
  • 24/7 software access if needed
