Off-highway manufacturers must continuously extend the operating limits of their products. Mining trucks must
run faster and steadily increase their loading capacity to improve efficiency. Excavator manufacturers must enhance the reach and agility of their products, and yet maintain optimal safety and stability. Agricultural tractors and machines must cope with tougher operating conditions, while increasing driver comfort.
LMS offers advanced 1D and 3D virtual simulation solutions to address these challenges. Virtual simulation complements test results and enables engineering teams to quickly simulate, analyze, and optimize the real-world performance of off-highway designs. LMS simulation software and engineering capabilities help you to:
- Accurately model your system by taking into account the dynamics of flexible components, hydraulic systems or complex caterpillar tracks
- Assess the safety of extreme operating conditions without putting people at risk
- Visualize component movement and deformations that are hard to measure
- Investigate where and when peak stresses occur during various combinations of maneuvers and payloads
- Optimize the control logic of mechatronic systems like active suspension for improved driver comfort
- Improve product quality by exploring multiple designs options changes much faster and dramatically cheaper compared to physical prototype testing
