LMS Virtual.Lab Motion Pre/Post is the platform for multibody simulations and contains all required basic capabilities to execute the modeling and analysis part of the job. Solver capabilities are not included within this platform but solver input files and solver results files can be exported and imported to the solver. The LMS Virtual. Lab Motion Pre/Post offering is suited for departments that need more pre/post than solver resources.

LMS Virtual.Lab Motion Pre/Post allows the creation of complete models. System components are assembled with constraints and joints. Compliant interactions between components and their environment are modeled with suited and detailed force elements representing real dynamic physical behavior.

Animation features help visualize more complex movement, including deformation of components in flexible bodies and interference detection between components during the dynamic event case. In addition, special features allow to examine animated swept volume, vector force visualization and more. Various graphing features allow users to view detailed results of the overall motion of each of the bodies in the system like translational and rotational displacement, velocity and acceleration. All possible loading results in the system like internal and external forces and torques and components’ internal stresses are also available for graphing. Dedicated postprocess for suspension and vehicle and other user-defined template plots capabilities are provided as well to facilitate analysts work. The advanced user interface finally supports Visual Basic journaling and scripting to let engineers automate any complex and repetitive modeling process and reporting tasks allowing them to concentrate their efforts on the design analysis and optimization part of the work instead of spending non-value added time on design modeling and updating.

Virtual.Lab Motion Pre/Post features includes:

• CATIA V5 geometry creation

• Mechanism assembly using kinematic joints and constraints

• Modular assembly using sub-mechanisms

• Dynamic modeling based on stiffness, damping, friction, contact or user definitions

• Dynamic modeling based on higher level force elements

• Flexible bodies modeling based on existing FE data (simulation or test modes)

• 3D Animation

• Graphing of all results

• Collision detection, swept volume, vector force visualization, etc

• Automatic motion model conversion to FE-assembly model for NVH

maglev trains virtual simulation vehicle 1.jpg LMS Virtual.Lab makes the world’s first maglev simulation a reality

With soaring oil prices and increasing pollution, the heat is literally on governments and transportation authorities to explore alternative options. The case for maglev technology is clear. Running on electricity, maglev trains can carry people and freight cheaper, faster, quieter and cleaner than trucks and planes. With dedicated guideways, the system does not contribute to urban congestion and the vehicle and track life span lasts 50 years or more with minimal maintenance – much longer than a truck or airplane.

Simulation Motorcycle Handling DADS 2 Simulation Helps Harley Davidson Improve Motorcycle Handling

Harley-Davidson is reducing engineering costs by using off-the-shelf mechanical simulation software to analyze motorcycle designs. Computer simulation makes it possible for engineers to configure a new motorcycle and test its handling in a few hours on the computer, compared to weeks or even months using the conventional build and test approach.

Simulation Design Door Problem DADS 2 Simulation Driven Design Solves Lockheed Martin C5 Cargo Door Poblem

Simulation Driven Design helped Lockheed Martin Aeronautical Systems solve a fatigue-related problem on the cargo door of the C5 transport plane. Cracks in the area of the door’s upper hinge had led the Air Force to impose a special visual inspection of the door prior to each ADS mission. Use of dynamics analysis software enabled Lockheed Martin to quickly find several solutions by allowing engineers to evaluate many alternatives without testing prototypes.
