include: system integration; commercial vehicle; engineering; engine engineering; drivetrain engineering; simulation and testing services; technical application soſtware and support; production. Te soſtware products Femfat (fatigue life


prediction for all structural parts of vehicles, modules and components), Kuli (complete vehicle energy and thermal management) have been used by all major OEMs for many years, whereas new tools like Alsim (dip paint simulation) and Merge (automatic merge modules for simulation) are currently being successfully launched. Te soſtware provides our designers with the opportunity to design and develop vehicles and engines that are lightweight, environmentally friendly along with reduced fuel consumption and CO2


emissions. www.ecs.steyr.com


Fluidon will be showcasing DSHplus, which offers 1D system simulation for complex hydraulic and pneumatic systems and


components. DSHplus is a simulation tool that offers advanced engineering technologies. Te dynamic calculation shows the physical behaviour of individual fluid power components and their interactions. Different examples of models from various application areas simplify and accelerate modelling processes. Within the shortest time possible, engineers obtain high-quality development results from the simulations, which contribute substantially to ensuring their company’s long-term success. DSHplus applies to manufacturers,


developers or users of fluid power systems in the development area of automotive systems, off-highway and commercial vehicle systems, manufacturing systems, mobile hydraulics, naval and railway systems, medical or aerospace. www.fluidon.com


As a partner of automotive, aerospace, consumer and chemical industries as well as suppliers to the mechanical engineering industry for over 20 years IHF (Ingenieurbuero Huss & Feickert GbR) performs different kinds of simulation analyses concerning the mechanical behaviour of machines and structures. Using modern simulation methods such as explicit and implicit FEM development tasks reaching from statics and dynamics to fatigue, optimisation, CFD and crash-safety are solved. We help our customers developing and


enhancing their products in order to reduce costs for material or manufacturing. Beside numerical simulation we offer soſtware development and different soſtware products to our customers. www.ihf-ffm.de

JMAG is simulation soſtware for electromechanical design. JMAG is equipped with an intuitive GUI, advanced modelling functions, and


various result display functions. Multifaceted evaluations of various design ideas are made possible by freely manipulating geometry, material properties, and drive conditions. Electromagnetic field plays important roles


with other physics in many machines and equipment and is becoming more actively used in those designs adapting the trend of electrifications. In many cases our customers have demanded that these analyses must go beyond a single domain analysis and include thermal performance. Tis is where a link to Altair’s products is necessary to provide the highest fidelity to actual machine performance. JMAG now provides more powerful solutions


through a partnership with Altair. www.jmag-international.com


Matelys is an independent research laboratory dedicated to the study of porous materials. Te activities cover acoustics, vibrations and thermodynamics in


buildings, transportation (including surface, air, space and sea), domestic appliances and outdoor surfaces. Trough the APA, Matelys provides AlphaCell


which is a complete and accurate Transfer Matrix Method (TMM/FTMM) solution served by an intuitive graphical interface. AlphaCell helps reducing development times and reduces the sources of error by offering a direct link with the FE modelling tools. In the exhibition booth, Luc Jaouen and François-Xavier Bécot will demo AlphaCell


usage. In particular, they will present the bridges which exist between AlphaCell and downstream FE models like OptiStruct in the view to reduce time and costs of developments. Tey will also highlight the links between AlphaCell and the determinant upstream design stages like material characterisation and virtual prototyping. For these two stages, MATELYS provides two complementary soſtware products, RokCell and ScalingCell, which will be shown to the visitors. François-Xavier Bécot, Matelys cofounder and


co-manager, will hold a presentation in Session 14 on 26 June. His talk will present Matelys methodology and will expose some examples of scientific digests related to porous material modelling. www.matelys.com


Materialise will be showcasing its next- generation soſtware tool that reduces the weight of


specified areas of an object, resulting in organic- looking STL files, but with a rough surface quality. Te tool 3-maticSTL enables users to clean up the STL files directly aſter topology optimisation, letting them skip the elaborate and time consuming step of re-building these organic files in CAD. With 3-maticSTL users can smoothen,


reconstruct and simplify STL files to create a cleaner part. All the operations take place on STL level, preventing error prone conversions to other file formats. 3-maticSTL can easily convert regions of the STL file to perfect CAD entities such as cylinders, cones, planes, etc. Te smoothing and surface reconstruction operations are so pristine to redesign organic surfaces that only a minimal amount of NURBS is required to rebuild potential CAD files. www.materialise.com

Maplesoft’s Chad Schmitke, MapleSim product development director, will present a talk entitled ‘System-level modelling with symbolics’ on 25 June. System-level models are essential for capturing the dynamic interactions of different domains. Teir benefits, however, can be greatly extended when coupled with a symbolically capable environment. In these cases, the actual equations that govern the interactions can be extracted, viewed, manipulated, and modified – yielding insights and efficiencies that are simply not available with purely numeric tools. Tese environments can also provide significant speed improvements, leveraging their internal data structures to generate compact, highly-efficient C-code.


MapleSim, a modelling and simulation


platform that is based on the Maple symbolic computation engine, and available through Altair’s HyperWorks Platform, provides such an environment. www.maplesoft.com/
