LMS have announced the release of LMS Virtual.Lab Rev 6. This new release introduces an advanced and unified modeling environment, integrating all the required model creation and simulation tools to perform accurate system-level performance analyses. This new solution eliminates the tremendous effort to create individual models for separate disciplines, and allows easy and smooth cross-attribute analyses. Rev 6 provides multiple innovative technologies and 64-bit data processing support, making it more practical to handle complex models with high accuracy, while significantly reducing calculation times. Rev 6 also marks the introduction of a new value-based licensing system, giving users flexible access to the full portfolio of LMS Virtual.Lab applications. Furthermore, LMS Virtual.Lab Rev 6 offers new and completed applications for structural analysis, acoustics simulation, noise and vibration prediction, system dynamics analysis and durability simulation, and extended automation and customization capabilities. With Rev 6 of Virtual.Lab, LMS delivers a unified modeling environment, which integrates all the required model creation tools and multidisciplinary simulation capabilities to accurately assess system-level performance for a complete car, a full aircraft or any other complex mechanical assembly. The new modeling and assembly solution offers extensive capabilities to flexibly build full-system simulation models starting from multiple component and sub-system models. Working from a single data model, users can efficiently analyze the system’s behavior in multiple performance aspects like dynamic stiffness, strength, noise and vibration, durability, vehicle ride & handling or the dynamic performance of mechanical systems. This new solution eliminates the tremendous effort to create individual models for separate disciplines, saving tremendous time and avoiding the accumulation of modeling errors and inaccuracies. In addition, the unified modeling solution allows easy and smooth cross-attribute analyses.

About: NAFEMS
NAFEMS is a not for profit organisation aimed at promoting best practices and also fostering education and awareness in the engineering analysis community. In line with its objectives to promote the effective use of simulation technologies, NAFEMS is continually seeking to create awareness of new analysis methodologies, deliver education & training, and stimulate the adoption of best practices and standards by offering a platform for continuous professional development.By the late 1970s and early 1980s, as computing power became more widely available, increasingly industry was starting to solve practical engineering problems using finite element analysis techniques. There was however considerable concern that the accuracy of the methods, and software implementations, required to be verified in order to allow the results to be effectively used. Following extensive lobbying, by industry and academia, the UK Government's Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) set up, and funded, a project within the National Engineering Laboratory (NEL), based in East Kilbride, Scotland, to investigate the issues. As a result the National Agency for Finite Element Methods and Standards, quickly shortened to the acronym NAFEMS, was founded as a special interest group in 1983 with a specific objective namely: "To promote the safe and reliable use of finite element and related technology" In order to keep engineers abreast of the latest developments in the Analysis World the quarterly magazine BENCHmark was launched by NAFEMS in July 1987. After seven years of seed funding by the UK government, and with the support of its industrial members, the decision was taken to launch NAFEMS Ltd as an independent not-for-profit company, owned by its member's in 1990. The company celebrated its 10th Anniversary in 2000, and has developed both the scope of its technology focus and its membership well beyond the original vision. Today NAFEMS and its members are involved in many different types of engineering simulation covering both products and processes. Membership continues to grow, now exceeding 700 corporate members in over 30 different countries. Steering groups have been set up in the UK, France, Germany, and the USA to co-ordinate local activities and interaction with members. |
