products New Products LABVIEW 2011
National Instruments has released NI LabView 2011, the 25th- anniversary version of its system design software. LabView accelerates the productivity of engineers and scientists who develop and deploy measurement and control systems to solve some of the world’s greatest engineering challenges.
The 2011 version can
dramatically increase development effi ciency through new engineering- specifi c libraries and its ability to interact with almost any hardware device or deployment target, including the multicore NI CompactRIO controller and the NI PXIe-5665. It also supports assemblies built in the latest Microsoft .NET framework and includes numerous features driven directly from user feedback. LabView 2011 allows engineers
EDEM v2.4
DEM Solutions has introduced EDEM 2.4, the latest version of its DEM simulation software, which now includes more particle contact models, faster visualisation, and other new features that further increase the versatility and performance of the EDEM simulation platform.
Already possessing the capability
ffA, the specialist in 3D seismic analysis software and services companies, has developed a technology for frequency decomposition that reveals information from seismic data right up to the limits of the seismic resolution. Using a proprietary adaptive technology, HD Frequency Decomposition precisely targets
to simulate the fl ow behavior of bulk particles covering a wide range of material properties and physical phenomena, the EDEM 2.4 release provides users with an expanded physics capability, and substantially faster rendering utilising the increased power available in the latest graphics hardware.

HD Frequency Decomposition
signal information at any frequency and achieves the best possible resolution at every point in the trace. The enhanced vertical resolution this gives, results in a better match with well data and gives the precise vertical position of even the most subtle geological features. www.ffa-geosciences,com
to develop visually striking, contemporary user interfaces with a new Silver palette of controls and indicators; to reuse code with support for the latest .NET assemblies, .m structures and new Xilinx IP for the LabView FPGA module; to achieve up to fi ve times faster loading, wiring, editing and compiling of FPGA code; and spawn asynchronous threads to create multithreaded applications more quickly with a new communication API.

Concerto v7.5R1
Cobham Technical Services has released Concerto v7.5R1, the latest iteration of its electromagnetic design software for RF and microwave applications from its Vector Fields Software product line.
The latest version incorporates numerous enhancements to accelerate further every aspect of design, simulation, analysis and optimisation. Many of the enhancements in this release centre on the powerful
Simulink Code Inspector
MathWorks has introduced Simulink Code Inspector, facilitating the review of source code generated from Simulink models. Aerospace engineers can now use Simulink Code Inspector to create detailed model-to-code and code-to-model inspection reports that help satisfy source code verifi cation and traceability objectives specifi ed in DO-178B Table A-5. Traditionally, verifying code against requirements is a time- consuming and error-prone process that requires manually reviewing
code line-by-line against a project checklist. Simulink Code Inspector uses an automated process to verify the generated code’s structure against its model. This process checks for structural equivalency by systematically comparing the blocks, parameters, and settings used in a model against the operations, operators, and data in the generated code. Simulink Code Inspector also produces reports that can be reviewed, archived, and shared with certifi cation authorities.

MAPLESIM DRIVELINE COMPONENT LIBRARY
Maplesoft has introduced the MapleSim Driveline Component Library, a collection of components for driveline modelling applications. Built with the involvement of several transmission manufacturers, this MapleSim add-on covers all stages in the powertrain, from the engine to the differential, wheels, and road loads, as well as vehicle dynamics. MapleSim is a physical modelling and simulation tool built on a foundation of symbolic computation technology. By using MapleSim together with the MapleSim Driveline Component Library, engineers can mix the best of physical models and empirical data to maximise model fi delity, optimise designs,

3D geometric Modeller that forms an integral part of all Concerto confi gurations.
This has new meshing options for
the fi nite element (FE) Eigenvalue solver, which can result in signifi cantly shorter solution times, and the Modeller now provides access to a range of additional features in Concerto’s fi nite difference time domain (FDTD) simulation engine.

and improve overall vehicle fuel effi ciency.
One major advantage of this
library is that the components use an acausal approach to model development, where the user can simply connect the components together in the required confi guration without worrying about issues like torque direction and load fl ow.
