products New Products HyperWorks 11.0


Altair Engineering has released the latest version of its computer-aided engineering (CAE) software suite. Heavily enhanced, HyperWorks 11.0 includes the addition of two new software products to the HyperWorks suite: AcuSolve and solidThinking. AcuSolve, a computational fl uid dynamics (CFD) fl ow and multi-physics solver, enables engineers to obtain solutions quickly and solve complex mission-critical industrial problems, especially for transient fl ow and fl uid- structure interaction. SolidThinking is a 3D conceptual modelling and visualisation software package. The CAE modelling and visualisation environment has been improved by the integration of HyperMesh and HyperView into one desktop framework solution. HyperMesh adds acoustic cavity meshing and extensions to


mid-surface algorithms, as well as full 3D visualisations of shell and beam models in the modelling environment. Improvements have also been made


to the Radioss fi nite element solver, which can perform new analysis types, including response spectrum, complex eigenvalues and pre-stressed normal modes, as well as material and geometric non-linear implicit analysis. It also has an advanced mass-scaling technology and a new multi-domain implementation that increases the speed and accuracy of detailed explicit simulation. Further enhancements have been made to OptiStruct, the design optimisation tool for geometric and non-linear material problems. OptiStruct now adds multi-start point optimisation to avoid becoming locked within a local solution. www.altairhyperworks.com


The dSPACE ASM Electric Components simulation package is now supported by JMAG, a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tool for electromechanical design developed by the JSOL. ASM Electric Components are Automotive Simulation Models (ASM) for the real- time simulation of vehicle electrical systems or hybrid drivetrains. With JMAG, users can now defi ne the key


Support for dSPACE ASM Electric Components characteristics of electric motors and export them to parameterise the generic ASM electric motor models. After virtual electric motors are defi ned, they can be executed on a hardware-in-the- loop (HIL) simulator in real time. The tool coupling provides users with graphical designs of complex systems and real-time performance. www.dspace.com


MATHTYPE 6.7 FOR MACINTOSH


Design Science has released MathType 6.7 for Macintosh, featuring support for Microsoft Offi ce 2011, Mac OS X Lion, as well as extending its support to more than 500 applications and websites in areas such as education, e-learning, calculation, word processing, presentation, email, blogs and wikis. MathType 6.7 advances the company’s ‘Equations Everywhere and Anywhere!’ initiative to have

Some of the supported applications and websites include Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, iWork (Pages, Numbers, Keynote), OpenOffi ce, Google Docs, InDesign, Maple, Mathematica and Wolfram Alpha. www.dessci.com


WILD CRUNCHER


Intended to bridge the gap between prototyping and production phases for system engineering, Wild Cruncher, a combination of hardware and software, has been released by HPC Project. Numerical computation environments like Scilab are fl exible and easy to use for system modelling, but high data volume processing or deployment of the model once it has been validated can lead to a loss of performance. A complete rewriting of the model in a higher performing language like C is then necessary. As this is time consuming and creates a control gap between the engineer and the programmer, this rewriting phase is often skipped, except for critical projects. Wild Cruncher automates this


Lorentz 9.0


Integrated Engineering Software, which develops hybrid simulation tools for design analysis, has released version 9.0 of its Lorentz simulation tool. Available in 2D rotationally symmetric and 3D packages, Lorentz uses fi eld solver technology for applications requiring charged particle and beam analysis. This release upgrades the user


interface, brings new features to the program, and allows for substantial future developments. Workfl ow is now more intuitive and the trajectory menu is arranged in the same manner as the rest of the program. Improvement of the ray tracing code makes beam analysis faster, often by a factor of two. A notable change to the program is the single ODE setup rather than the previous per emission set up.


To eliminate the need for individual settings for each emission: • The adaptive time step solvers have been enhanced to include RK853. • More advanced ODE settings are available to the user.


• The charge and current iterations have additional settings for controlling convergence.


The company provides its


expertise in the electromagnetic, electromechanical and electro- thermal analysis software fi eld to the industrial, automotive, medical, telecommunications, power and aerospace markets. Its clients include companies such as Alcatel, Mannesmann, TE Connectivity, Siemens, Carl Zeiss, and ABB. www.integratedsoft.com

rewriting, and once the model is validated, a ‘click’ will generate the C version. Another ‘click’ will generate a parallel version in order to take advantage of multi-core or hybrid hardware architectures. All these phases, including the compiled code execution, take place in a single working homogeneous environment. The Scilab to C translation software has been developed by HPC Project, while the parallelisation, code generation and optimised compilation for the associated hardware are performed with open source software, Par4All. The hardware is built with technologies from Intel and Nvidia embedded in an offi ce environment compatible device. www.hpc-project.com
