Hexagon MSC Easy5 2023.1 

MSC Software, part of Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division has releasedEasy5 2023.1is a graphics-based software tool used to model, simulate, and design multi-domain dynamic systems characterized by differential, difference, and algebraic equations
Release 2023.1 Features
Gas Dynamics Library Useability Improvements
For new instances of most non-obsolete components:
– The local dimension "# of gas species" has been replaced by a global dimension parameter.
– The local configuration parameter "Formulation", with the choices of "Explicit" and "Implicit", has been replaced by a global configuration parameter.
This will allow you to set these parameters for all the GD library components in your model in one operation, instead of having to set these component-by-component. To set these parameters for an entire model, select Options > Set Model Global Configuration. To set these parameters for a submodel, right-click on the submodel icon and select Set Submodel Global Configurations.
These global configurations were not implemented in the following components:
– HK (gas-gas heat exchanger based on effectiveness map): This component has two "# of gas species", one for each stream. Since there is only one global dimension parameter for this, the global "# of gas species" was not implemented.
– NO (Node or Volume): Because of library component limitations the new configurations could not be implemented, so NO is now obsolete. Use the new component CH instead, it is identical to NO in every respect except that it uses global configurations instead of local configurations.
– CS (Cabin Thermal Model): Because of library component limitations the new configurations could not be implemented, so CS is now obsolete. Use the new component CA instead, it is identical to CS in every respect except that it uses global configurations instead of local configurations.
Linear Model
– Component GP/SM can now approximate either continuous or hybrid/discrete models. Previously it only modeled continuous linear approximations.
– Linear Model Generation: when Save System Matrices is Yes and a System Matrices Name is specified, then the system matrices are saved into two different files:
…ezlmf. This is previously existing capability, the .ezlmf file is in the auxiliary input format for component SM. For continuous systems only.
…json. This is the new capability. The .json file can be read into the component data tables of components SM, XV, YU and YV by selecting Options > Load json model data.
Hexagon’s MSC SoftwareCAE simulation solutions enable engineers to validate and optimise product designs using virtual prototypes. Customers in almost every part of manufacturing use our software to complement, and in some cases even replace, the physical prototype "build and test" process that has traditionally been used in product design.
Easy5was developed and designed by engineers to efficiently solve real-world, industrial problems and simplifies the construction and analysis of such systems with a graphical, schematic-based application. A comprehensive set of pre-packaged components, stored in application-specific libraries, simplify the assembly of a representative model and facilitate quick and accurate system simulation. Engineers work within a familiar schematic drawing paradigm to add and specify data connections between components in an intuitive, simple-to-use, multi-level hierarchical modeling environment. For over forty years, through continuous improvement, Easy5 has remained the simulation tool of choice for many complex and difficult systems.
Simteq Getting Started Easy5 – Part 1
Learn how to set up a simple spring-damper simulation using Easy5 including friction and controls.
The video is a tutorial aimed at helping viewers get started with Easy5, a simulation software for system design and analysis. The video is the first part of a series of tutorials and covers the basics of Easy5. The tutorial is presented by an expert in the field and is intended for beginners who have little or no knowledge of Easy5. Viewers will learn how to open the software, create a new model, add components to the model, connect the components, and simulate the model. The video also covers some basic troubleshooting tips. This video is a helpful guide for those who are new to Easy5 and want to learn how to use the software for their system design and analysis projects.

Simteq Getting Started Easy5 – Part 2
This video is part two of a tutorial on Simteq’s Easy5 for Adams users. In the first video, the problem of a simple mass spring damper system was introduced and various approaches to solving the dynamic response of the system in Easy5 were demonstrated. In this video, the inclusion of non-linear physics into the model, such as friction and bump stops, is discussed, along with adding a PID controller. The friction component is activated in Adams, and the static and dynamic friction coefficients are given low values to make the effects of friction visible. The new atom solver file is exported, including friction, and the same friction is added to the Easy5 model. The numerical discontinuities between static and dynamic friction in atoms are smoothed in Easy5 using the exact formulation for an easy transition. After running the simulation, it is observed that the two models with friction reach a steady state much sooner than the ones without friction due to the introduction of damping.
