Transducers from PCB Piezotronics equipped with TEDS (transducer electronic data sheets) can now be fully integrated with test solutions from LMS International.
Through the interactive interface in LMS Imagine.Lab Optimus, users can easily capture the different steps and parameter settings of their simulation process.
Once captured, nonexpert users can apply the complete process without having to worry about "what to do when".
This allows a quick rerun of the process to explore multiple design alternatives, translating into higher productivity.
LMS Imagine.Lab Optimus automatically explores a multitude of design alternatives using design of experiment and response surface modelling techniques.
The full set of local, global and multi-objective optimisation methods from Noesis Optimus allow users to identify the optimal design for multiple performance aspects.
This avoids tedious trial and error loops while balancing optimal performance with strict quality requirements and six-sigma criteria.
Dedicated methodologies for robustness and reliability engineering make sure that the optimisation loop takes into account the inherent variability of the LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim design input parameters.
Integrated postprocessing and data mining capabilities enable users to analyse complex phenomena with greater efficiency.
"To proactively engineer the functional performance of intelligent systems, manufacturers have to optimise the complex interaction between mechanical, fluids, thermal and electromechanical components and subsystems", says Willy Bakkers, Vice-President and General Manager of the LMS CAE and Imagine Division.
"LMS Imagine.Lab Optimus supports development teams in tackling the huge amount of design alternatives and assists them in defining the best compromise between performance and robustness". Request a free brochure from LMS International ...
