Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence is pleased to announce Elements 2024.1. This release includes some new UI features and a new component. New Component – 3D lookup Table We have a new lookup component that supports 3 independent variables and 1 dependent variable. It supports reading a csv file for table data. This unlocks higher dimensional map-based models. For example, motor efficiency maps, battery characteristic maps etc. Simulation Rerun from Analysis Window You can now change parameters and submit a re-run right from the Analysis Window. This saves time it takes in the Model flattening and equation simplification steps. FMI 3.0 Import and Export Elements now supports import and export of FMUs generated by the latest FMI standard (FMI 3.0). This enables...

Simufact Forming is a simulation tool for hands-on professionals working with forming technology. Our goal is to focus the software to the practical needs of the users.

LS-OPT is a standalone Design Optimization and Probabilistic Analysis package with an interface to LS-DYNA. In the “conventional design” approach, a design is improved by evaluating its “response” and making design changes based on experience or intuition. This approach does not always lead to the desired result, that of a ‘best’ design, since the design objectives are often in conflict. It is therefore not always clear how to change the design to achieve the best compromise of these objectives. A systematic approach can be obtained by using an inverse process of first specifying the criteria and then computing the ‘best’ design according to a formulation. The improvement procedure that incorporates design criteria into a mathematical framework is referred to as...
