Improvements to the art of noise (and vibration)
LMS International has upgraded its Test.Lab integrated software suite for noise and vibration testing and engineering.
LMS Virtual.Lab Designer is fully embedded in the Catia V5 environment, and enables Catia V5 users to quickly analyse the performance of parts and systems up-front in the design process, without the need to leave their preferred PLM solution.
Virtual.Lab Designer is based on the award-winning LMS Virtual.Lab software suite for functional performance engineering, and can be upscaled with the extensive simulation capabilities and broad range of engineering disciplines available in LMS Virtual.Lab.
Since its initial launch in 2001, a large number of leading manufacturing companies have adopted LMS Virtual.Lab as their standard simulation platform for functional performance engineering.
LMS Virtual.Lab integrates multiple mission-critical simulation disciplines in a single integrated environment.
Its breakthrough modelling and simulation capabilities and its innovative hybrid simulation concepts, integrating virtual models and test-based models, have helped numerous engineering teams in efficiently analysing and optimising complex mechanical design.

The Catia V5-embedded simulation capabilities eliminate time-consuming data transfers and translations, guarantee a full association between the CAD design and simulation processes, and greatly facilitate the analysis of multiple design options.
LMS Virtual.Lab Designer is fully compatible and upscalable to the complete LMS Virtual.Lab suite for functional performance engineering, which offers integrated simulation capabilities for multiple engineering disciplines.
This allows Catia V5 users to supplement their simulation capabilities with advanced functionality and industry specific vertical simulation applications, and to gradually extend their installation as the scope and diversity of their simulation needs evolves.
Virtual.Lab Designer therefore represents a truly scalable solution that fully leverages the initial investments in the customer's preferred PLM solution.
Severin Lanfranchi, R and D Director Catia Simulation, Dassault Systemes, commented: "With the introduction of the LMS Virtual.Lab Designer suite and its full integration with Catia V5 and Catia CAE, designers and CAE engineers are now able to optimise critical performance characteristics concurrently with designing individual parts and system".
"In this way, development teams can test multiple design iterations much faster and reduce development lead-time, while improving overall product quality".
"The Combination of LMS Virtual.Lab Designer with the Dassault Systemes VPM, Enovia and SmartTeam data management solutions, offers our customers a complete and top-class simulation solution in 3D PLM".
Willy Bakkers, LMS Corporate Vice-President and General Manager CAE Division concluded: "The introduction of the LMS Virtual.Lab Designer suite represents an important new milestone within our strategic alliance with Dassault Systemes".
"LMS builds on its track record of successfully delivering high-performance simulation solutions for functional performance engineering integrated with the Dassault Systemes V5 PLM solutions".
"Responding to customer requirements as well as Dassault Systemes partners and resellers the LMS Virtual.Lab Designer suite allows design teams and CAE engineers to optimise their product's performance in the early development stages, when design flexibility is high and modification costs are low".
