LMS extends simulation capability of Ansys
A
LMS International product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team
Jun 23, 2009
LMS has introduced a range of LMS Virtual.Lab product packages adapted to extend the engineering performance simulation capability of Ansys.
The packages include individual versions of four dedicated LMS Virtual.Lab modules, each designed to enhance the Ansys user experience, offering more detailed simulation and design capabilities for multi-body simulation, structural durability, acoustics and test-simulation correlation.
Ansys users that want to benefit from more than one enhanced capability can combine any number of the packages.
The four packages consist of: Motion, Acoustics, Durability and Correlation.
LMS Virtual.Lab Motion for Ansys offers an efficient integrated solution for building multi-body models that simulate the full-dynamic-motion behaviour of complex mechanical-system designs.
Using this package and the Ansys Structural Simulation platform allows users to easily create a complete and accurate system model and apply forces and motion to simulate the actual operational behaviour.
Users can examine system designs including the influence of flexibility for one or several components.
LMS Virtual.Lab Acoustics for Ansys provides an integrated solution to minimise radiated noise or optimise the sound quality.
Convenient modelling capabilities combined with efficient solvers and easy-to-interpret visualisation tools provide insight into acoustic performances.
It simulates internal and external acoustic radiation and offers dedicated applications for structural noise radiation and transmission-loss-through-panel phenomena.
Based on LMS FEM (Finite Element Modelling) and BEM (Boundary Element Modelling) technology, this package can be used to further characterise system or component vibration and acoustic characteristics, providing additional leverage for the Ansys Structural Simulation platform.
Durability for Ansys predicts fatigue hotspots and fatigue life by combining dynamic component loads and fatigue material parameters with Ansys Structural Simulation stress results.
This provides direct feedback regarding critical fatigue areas and the root cause of fatigue problems.
LMS Virtual.Lab Correlation for Ansys lets users compare test-based and virtual component models for more productive simulation.
It offers direct access to standard Ansys vibration data and several test-data formats to quickly compare and validate Ansys-FEM models with test data to allow users to expeditiously identify possible modelling errors to systematically improve existing simulation models.
