Altair® HyperWorks® platform empowers Cleveland Golf to break free from traditional design limits
TROY, Mich., Nov. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Altair (Nasdaq: ALTR), a global leader in computational intelligence, announced its latest collaboration with Cleveland Golf, a leading golf equipment manufacturer, on the design of the new HiBore XL Driver. With Altair's advanced simulation and design technology, Cleveland Golf is raising the bar for golf equipment and redefining the limits of driver design.
"Altair's technology and expertise is helping Cleveland Golf shape the future of golf – one swing at a time," said Sam Mahalingam, chief technology officer, Altair. "Technologies like simulation, artificial intelligence (AI), data analytics, and digital twin are opening a new world of possibilities for sports equipment manufacturers. Altair is excited to see how leading manufacturers like Cleveland Golf can use these tools to transform the way professionals and nonprofessionals alike play their favorite sports."
Cleveland Golf utilized an array of products within the Altair® HyperWorks® platform to craft the HiBore XL, allowing the team to perform concept evaluation, rapid design exploration, physics-based simulation and optimization, and design for manufacturing. The flexibility of the Altair HyperWorks platform allowed Cleveland Golf to explore a multitude of feasible designs—an exploration that would have been impossible with physical testing alone.
"With the HiBore XL, we sought to equip players with a driver unbound by the traditional limits of shaping, delivering exciting new performance accomplishments. Altair empowered us with the technology to do just that," said Jacob Lambeth, research engineering supervisor at Cleveland Golf. "We pride ourselves on being at the cutting edge, and today, that means embracing the market's premier simulation and design software. Collaborating with Altair helps us innovate in brand-new ways and maintain our reputation for pushing the limits of club design."
With the HiBore XL, Cleveland Golf's objective was to break free from traditional geometry to achieve new combinations of performance, while still meeting United States Golf Association (USGA) club requirements. Altair HyperWorks provided the team with the advanced design and simulation tools needed to rapidly iterate and unlock new levels of performance. In addition, the two organizations co-created a custom ribbing optimization process that helped Cleveland Golf find rib configurations that increased the HiBore XL's stiffness while saving weight. The process helped the Cleveland Golf team enhance the club's sound and improve its center of gravity and moment of inertia (MOI).
The HiBore XL is a testament to the effectiveness of Altair's best-in-class technology and the strength of the collaboration with the Cleveland Golf engineering team. By combining Cleveland Golf's vision and know-how with Altair's technology, expertise, and value-driven approach, the two built more than a driver – they built an innovative approach for success.

SHENZHEN, China, Nov. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The grand launch of the "LubTop2024 Annual Review Rankings," themed "Intelligent Innovation, Green Navigation," took place on November 15th. The event is organized by China Lubricant Information Network (sinolub.com) and Lubricant Market, with support from industry-leading organizations and numerous mainstream media outlets. This event reviews the achievements made over the past year in the lubricant industry and automotive aftermarket across areas like branding, technology, and products. By documenting technological breakthroughs and innovations in business models, and through an open, fair, and impartial evaluation mechanism, it aims to present a comprehensive view of the market's brand landscape. The goal is to offer more objective insights into brand development for channel partners and consumers, ultimately assisting them in making more informed purchasing decisions.
Since its establishment in 2013, the LubTop China Lubricant Industry Annual Awards and Automotive Service Competitiveness Evaluation (hereafter referred to as the "LubTop Awards") has been held annually, with this year marking its 12th edition. The LubTop Awards is dedicated to the mission of "Setting Industry Benchmarks, Inspiring the Future of the Industry." It aims to guide the advancement of lubricant products and technologies, while injecting new vitality into the sustainable development of the industry and fostering cross-sector integration.
As one of the most influential national evaluations in the lubricant and automotive aftermarket sectors, the LubTop Awards is widely regarded by the industry as the "Oscars of the Year", where international giants and renowned Chinese brands converge, achieving cross-sector collaboration. It serves as a hallmark of quality and a testament to the industry's status.
Developing New-Quality Productivity in Services
Driving the development of new-quality productivity in services to support Chinese modernization, deepening industry chain interactions, and fostering cross-sector integration are the key features of the "LubTop2024 Annual Awards". This year's awards focus on a brand evaluation system based on five core dimensions: innovation-driven growth, market win-win collaboration, user experience, industry leadership, and green development.
In today's landscape of profound global industrial restructuring and the wave of the new energy revolution, how will the lubricant industry embark on a new journey toward high-quality development? The LubTop2024 Annual Awards for the Chinese Lubricant Industry aims to address these pressing questions. With the theme "Intelligent Innovation, Green Navigation," it seeks to ignite a transformative storm where intelligence and sustainability intertwine, propelling the entire industry towards a qualitative leap on the paths of technological innovation and green development.
The "LubTop2024 Annual Ranking" will select its honorees based on a comprehensive process starting with the pre-qualification of corporate submissions, followed by quality inspections carried out by a third-party authoritative organization, which hold veto power (disqualification right). The final ranking is determined through a combination of online user voting (accounting for 30% of the score), professional market research (20%), assessments by a panel of expert mentors (40%), and media observation and commentary (10%). Utilizing both online and offline big data along with intelligent algorithms, the LubTop Brand Honor Index is generated. This index will establish the definitive list for the LubTop2024 China Lubricant Industry Annual Ranking and culminate in a grand award ceremony that will be announced globally.
