LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim offers a complete 1D simulation suite to model and analyze multi-domain, intelligent systems and predict their multi-disciplinary performance. Model components are described using validated analytical models that represent the system抯 actual hydraulic, pneumatic, electric or mechanical behavior. Today intelligent system integration is driving improved product performance and delivering innovative designs in a variety of industries. Recent surveys show that approximately 80% of the next-generation systems and products will be derived from so-called intelligent systems. One of the most common examples is the advanced injection and control systems essential to clean-running and fuel-efficient car engines. But it is not only the automotive industry that is investing heavily in the intelligent system design trend to reach new targets for vital attributes like safety, comfort and, of course, driving pleasure. Active systems are running everything from key operating and safety mechanisms in the latest airplanes to “smart” packaging machines, hyper-speed printing presses, power-packing excavators and highly-efficient wind turbines. Intelligent systems clearly are essential when designing cost-efficient products with higher productivity levels and superior reliability. The LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim Suite The integrated platform for 1D multi-domain system simulation LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim offers a complete 1D simulation suite to model and analyze multi-domain, intelligent systems and predict their multi-disciplinary performance. Model components are described using validated analytical models that represent the system’s actual hydraulic, pneumatic, electric or mechanical behavior. To create a system simulation model, all the user has to do is use the various dedicated tools to access the required pre-defined components from validated libraries covering different physical domains. LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim can work with a variety of libraries to create a physics-based system model. Using libraries like the Hydraulic Component Design (HCD) and IFP-Engine, LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim software can accurately simulate intelligent system behavior long before detailed CAD geometry is available. Validated components and dedicated libraries An organic and innovative concept, LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim lets engineers develop and customize their own libraries by creating new models and sub-models. To facilitate model and library sharing with suppliers, customers or internal departments, LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim offers the capability to create and publish ready-to-use catalogs of component models, while still encrypting valuable corporate know-how. LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim offers a run-only version of the software, dedicated for users who simply want to run a packaged simulation model to analyze and visualize different design alternatives. Dedicated application solutions accelerate engineering LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim offers an extensive set of application-specific solutions to assess specific subsystem behavior. This way, experts can focus on the critical design and engineering issues without spending valuable time creating and validating models. In the engineering loop, outside suppliers can model, simulate and validate components early in the design process and provide their client, the original equipment manufacturer or OEM, with a virtual functional component or subsystem mock-up. In turn, OEMs can simulate components and subsystem integration to verify total performance levels and validate key design choices.
