When the ability to solve heat transfer problems is essential for delivering a product of robust, high quality, you need thermal analysis software with a proven track record for accuracy, reliability, and flexibility. The Sinda family of thermal design products has been relied on by aerospace and high technology companies worldwide for over a quarter century.Sinda Analyzer Since no two designs are alike, the Sinda analyzer provides a variety of steady state and transient solution methods plus the ability to customize and optimize a thermal model by adding whatever degree of programming logic the problem requires. Sinda uses a resistance-capacitance networking approach to thermal analysis that is user-intuitive. To simplify model building and clearly display the results, Sinda transparently links...

FEMFAT (Finite Element Method Fatigue) is the number one engineering software tool for fatigue life prediction. FEMFAT is a tool designed to identify critical locations and supports the light weight optimization process at an early development stage, way before time- and cost-consuming tests will be performed. This results in high confident level to release prototypes, therefore less development loops and costly hardware tests. Continuously developed over the last 20 years, FEMFAT provides reliable results to release virtual prototypes in an early development stage. FEMFAT is widely used in the automotive and non-automotive industry and trusted to be the number one tool for CAE. The binding link between test track, laboratory and CAE is FEMFAT LAB. It supports development engineers with...

Noise and Vibration analyzer 1 LMS SCADAS Mobile 3 Noise and Vibration analyzer 3 LMS Test.Xpress ——Integrated platform for noise, vibration and durabilityTraditional analyzers are extremely flexible tools to qualify products’ noise, vibration or durability performances. They are easy to operate and immediately show the frequency content of a vibration, sound or fatigue signal. They are, however, also very limited. Why restrict measurements to just 2 or 4 channels, when productivity could be so much higher with 8 channels or more? What about direct connectivity of all sensors – from standard accelerometers and microphones, strain gauges, temperature sensors to GPS receivers and CAN bus? How much could be gained by running FFT, order, rainflow and octave analysis in real-time and...

The COMSOL Multiphysics engineering simulation software environment facilitates all steps in the modeling process − defining your geometry, meshing, specifying your physics, solving, and then visualizing your results. Model set-up is quick, thanks to a number of predefined physics interfaces for applications ranging from fluid flow and heat transfer to structural mechanics and electromagnetic analyses. Material properties, source terms and boundary conditions can all be arbitrary functions of the dependent variables. Predefined multiphysics-application templates solve many common problem types. You also have the option of choosing different physics and defining the interdependencies yourself. Or you can specify your own partial differential equations (PDEs) and link them with other equations and physics.COMSOL Multiphysics version 4.3 establishes COMSOL as the leading innovator...
