AlphaSTAR

AlphaSTAR is a leading global provider of physics based simulation technologies and services for structural modeling and analysis of advanced materials. Since its inception in 1989, AlphaSTAR has focused on composite structures, and related innovative research that helped industry and government agencies overcome critical challenges with complex composite structural systems. Unlike academic research entities, engineering services companies, or FEA software companies, AlphaSTAR has available all three disciplines to provide a complete solution. AlphaSTAR has provided advanced material research for the DOD and aerospace sector for 20 plus years. These efforts have resulted in hundreds of man-years of software development, hundreds of man-years of design experience, and thousands of hours of virtual simulation testing. When added together, the advanced material intellectual property within AlphaSTAR and our affiliate resource network is unsurpassed throughout the world. Our core simulation software, GENOA, augments our customer's current commercial tool set (NASTRAN, ABAQUS, ANSYS) and extends their capabilities to multi-scale and micro-mechanics analysis. This enhanced simulation capability allows determination of failure, failure modes, strength, life, and safety of structures, thereby enabling engineers to assess where, when, why, and how to remedy failure. As the use of composite and advanced materials explodes throughout discrete manufacturing, AlphaSTAR's experience, methodology, and software provide our customers a powerful advantage throughout their development and testing cycles. We are a woman-owned corporation headquartered in Long Beach, California, with customers and partners throughout the world.
