FEA Pre/Post

LMS Virtual.Lab FEA Pre/Post is the standard configuration for the simulation engineer performing linear, non-linear or crash finite element analysis using industry-standard solvers. The configuration lets users import models or meshes from industry-standard solver formats, check and fix quality aspects, perform additional mesh modeling, set up load and boundary conditions, drive the preferred solver, and post-process results.

LMS Virtual.Lab FEA Pre/Post

LMS Virtual.Lab FEA Pre/Post is the standard configuration for the simulation engineer performing linear, non-linear or crash finite element analysis using industry-standard solvers, like Nastran (MD, MSC, NX, NEi), Abaqus, LS-DYNA and RADIOSS.

Multi-functional, the configuration lets users import models or meshes from industrystandard solver formats, check and fix quality aspects, perform additional mesh modeling like load attachment spiders, define or complement property and material definitions, set up load and boundary conditions, drive the preferred solver, and postprocess results using a variety of displays for the best possible insight.

Typically used for finite element analysis on imported component, sub-system or full vehicle models, this configuration is popular amongst simulation engineers who also appreciate the generic and solver-specific options to model nodal connections, spot, glue or seam weld connections and surface connections.

For companies outsourcing meshing or simulation engineers using dedicated standalone meshing engines, this configuration is the ideal pre- and post-processor for general multi-solver finite element analysis. Companies with CATIA V5-compliant meshing will benefit as well since this configuration features embedded pre-processing

and post-processing functionality and directly applicable geometry connection modeling.

This is also the standard plug-in configuration for more advanced modules like morphing or vehicle concept modeling.

Features

Leverage previous investments in solvers and meshing capabilities in V5

Covering a range of industries, LMS application cases let you discover how LMS solutions help our customers solve their real-life engineering challenges.

Mitsubishi and LMS develop procedures that speed body NVH analysis up to a factor of 100

Mitsubishi Motor Corporation and LMS engineers have teamed up to deploy analysis procedures that reduce the time required to simulate the NVH performance of a car body to as little as one-hundredth of the time previously required. Conventional full-body finite element models that are normally used to evaluate body NVH prior take so long to solve that relatively few design alternatives can be considered.

Mitsubishi develops vehicle platform with support of LMS

Mitsubishi Motors Corporation is working with LMS in a strategic partnership to frontload vehicle engineering and optimize designs for critical attributes earlier in the process. LMS recently supported Mitsubishi in reaching these objectives on a new small-car platform with multiple upper body designs. Mitsubishi also teamed with LMS to deploy these advanced simulation processes based on LMS Virtual.Lab for the development of innovative future vehicles.
