LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim simplifies multi-domain integration thanks to its easy-to-use simulation platform. All an engineer needs to do is connect various validated components to simply and accurately predict multi-disciplinary system performance. With extensive dedicated libraries, LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim actually saves enormous amounts of time by eliminating the need for extensive modeling. Thanks to application-specific simulation, engineers can assess a variety of subsystems in multiple physical domains. This way design and engineering teams can carefully balance product performance according to various brand-critical attributes to achieve the best possible design way before committing to expensive and time-consuming prototype testing. Since LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim actually frontloads system simulation early in the development cycle, it truly allows mission-critical design functionality to drive new product...

nCode DesignLifeStreamlining the CAE Durability Process nCode DesignLife provides fatigue life prediction from finite element results to answer the question \”how long will it last?\” or \”will it pass the test?\” before you even have prototype. Go beyond simplified stress analysis and avoid under or over-designing your products by simulating actual loading conditions. For over 30 years, nCode products have established a reputation for the development of leading fatigue technology pioneering the world’s first commercial off-the-shelf FEA-based fatigue tool, P/Fatigue*, in the early 1990’s. Since then, nCode products have continued to invest in the development of cutting edge technology to provide solutions for large model sizes and realistic loading schedules. Unique capabilities include the ability to simulate shaker tests by...

Easy5Advanced Controls & Systems SimulationAccurately simulate control systems, hydraulics (including thermal effects), pneumatics, gaseous flow, thermal, electrical, mechanical, refrigeration, environment control, lubrication or fuel systems, and sampled-data/discrete-time behavior. Engineering aircraft, vehicles, agricultural equipment, and other complex systems requires a systems-engineering approach in which not only the components and subsystems but the entire system as a whole is tested. Traditional build and test methodologies are time-consuming and expensive; and now more than ever, every industry is challenged to meet the conflicting requirements of increasing innovation while reducing cost and time to market. Dynamic systems, those systems whose behavior as a function of time is important, are typically defined using first-order differential (or difference) equations. Easy5 simplifies the construction and analysis of...

ANSYS 15.0 Release HighlightsRedefining Comprehensive SimulationThe latest release of our industry-leading engineering simulation portfolio, ANSYS 15.0 brings together new capabilities and enhancements that offer a more comprehensive approach to guide and optimize complete product designs. As products trend toward greater complexity — with advanced functionality and features, novel materials (such as composites), embedded electronics and their resulting thermal issues, and control software for smart operation — single-physics analysis (or uncoupled multiple physics) is not adequate for designing optimum products. The release introduces pre-processing capabilities that boost automation and ease of setup as well as high-performance computing enhancements that enable analysis of ever-larger models and faster processing times. Together, the features deliver insights into the most challenging product designs. ANSYS 15.0...

MADYMO is the worldwide standard software for analysing and optimizing occupant safety designs. It is without rival for its accuracy, efficiency and versatility. Using MADYMO, researchers and engineers can model, thoroughly analyse and optimize safety designs early in the development process. This reduces the expense and time involved in building and testing prototypes. Adopting MADYMO also minimises the risk of making design changes late in the development phase. For new or improved vehicle models and components, MADYMO cuts cost and reduces the time-to-market substantially.MADYMO Occupant Models Dummy models: WorldSID 50th – facet Q modelQ0 child – ellipsoid modelQ1 child – ellipsoid modelQ32 child – ellipsoid modelQ3 child – ellipsoid modelQ-Child familyMADYMO Solver DEFINE information in reprint fileDEFINEs with global als...

Generating the Design SpaceGenerating the design space is the first step in setting up a HyperShape/CATIA simulation. The full CAD modeling and GPS functionality of CATIA V5 is available to define design areas, directly apply loads and boundary conditions. The same model is used both to perform an analysis using the CATIA analysis workbench and to perform an optimization using HyperShape/CATIA. Definition of the Optimization ProblemWith HyperShape/CATIA, an intuitive menu system efficiently guides users through the problem setup: definition of design objectives, manufacturing constraints and job submission to OptiStruct in the CATIA V5 environment. Design InterpretationAfter the optimization run OptiStruct’s design proposals can be visualized using GPS. These design proposals are automatically imported as a new part in CATIA V5...

FLACS is a comprehensive, yet easy to use, software tool for modelling (dispersion and explosion) consequences in full 3D for all typical flammable and toxic release scenarios. It is used extensively in the Oil and Gas and Process industries and also increasingly in the nuclear industry, in facilities with dust explosion potential and many other fields. By modelling with CFD (Computation Fluid Dynamics) in full 3D it is possible to predict consequences much more accurately and to include the effect of all contributing and mitigating effects (such as confinement and congestion due to real geometry, ventilation, deluge). A better understanding and higher accuracy of results not only contributes to raising the true level of safety but also allows designers to...
