Siemens LMS TecWare 3.10LMS TecwareDurability load data processing designed for testing productivity A critical factor for successful durability engineering is gaining a precise understanding of the loads that products will undergo during their anticipated lifetime. Realistic load data is essential for virtual and physical product validation and optimization. LMS Tecware is a modular suite of solutions for durability load data processing. The LMS Tecware software streamlines the process of consolidating acquired load data, analyzes durability-specific characteristics and prepares the data for reliable simulations, proving ground and rig test campaigns without requiring cryptic commands or complex programs. LMS Tecware offers you more accurate insights into the durability performance of new product designs throughout the development process. LMS Tecware maximizes testing productivity...

CEI Inc., maker of EnSight visualization software for computer aided engineering (CAE) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD), has released an update for of EnSight 10.1 of its powerful 3D visualization software for post-processing of CAE/CFD data and analysis. This version is the first major new release in over a year. EnSight 10.1 version is the first major new release in over a year. There are a dramatic number of new features, improved usability, and better support for spheres/particles and polyhedrals. Plotting has been made easier, and EnSight’s unique capability to handle multiple cases has been enhanced and made much easier to use. For those using python for scripting will like the added support for right-click commands.The Main New Features of...

NX NastranThe Premier FEA Solver for Structural SimulationAn industry standard for over 40 years, Nastran is a finite element (FE) solver for stress, vibration, buckling, structural failure, heat transfer, acoustics and aeroelasticity analyses. Manufacturers as well as engineering suppliers in aerospace, automotive, electronics, heavy machinery, medical device, and other industries rely on NX Nastran software for their critical engineering computing needs so they can produce safe, reliable and optimized designs within increasingly shorter design cycles. Available as a standalone solver or integrated in NX CAE, NX Nastran is credited with driving millions of dollars out of product development costs because building a computer model and digitally testing performance is cheaper, faster and more effective than the physical prototyping processes it...

Animator4 is a post-processor for a wide range of finite element analysis (FEA) applications. The program is based on almost 20 years of experience in project work for the automotive industry and its predecessor Animator3. Started in the early \’90s, earlier versions of the program were exclusively developed for the automobile manufacturers VOLKSWAGEN and AUDI. Animator3 gained respect within a wide range of engineering companies. While some users still appreciate the minimalistic and mainly command line driven interface of Animator3, most users prefer a more capable and customizable user interface. Animator4 augments its predecessor\’s qualities with a modern graphical user interface, based on Qt©. At the same time it keeps the highly optimized OpenGL code from Animator3. Thus Animator4 has...

Oasys Ltd , a distributor of the LS-DYNA software in the UK, India and China, announce the 12.0 version is the latest version of Oasys Software Suite for pre- and post- processing of LS-DYNA models. The Oasys Suite of software, exclusively written for LS-DYNA, is at the leading edge of the pre- and post-processing markets and is used worldwide by many of the largest LS-DYNA customers. With the release of version 12.0 the Oasys Suite provides the user with even more tools and functions to reduce the amount of time needed to build and check a LS-DYNA model, allowing the engineer to concentrate more on the actual problem in hand rather than just the task getting a model up and...

Noesis Solutions, the partner simulation innovation to manufacturers in automotive, aerospace, and other engineering-intense industries, announced that it has released Optimus 10.14. While previous product releases introduced a large number of new CAD & CAE interfaces confirming Optimus as the most open full-process PIDO platform, the latest Optimus 10.14 release focuses on user productivity and optimization excellence. Particle swarm optimization inspired by nature Optimus 10.14 introduces a new Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm that can be used for both single-objective and multi-objective optimization. The new PSO algorithm is inspired by swarm intelligence typically found in animal flocks, fish schools and ant colonies. All swarm individuals continuously adjust their positions by making compromises between the ‘local best positions’ pursued by the...
