Efficient user interface.
An intuitive user interface provides a complete set of features
to create, solve and post-process a model in one common 3D graphical
environment. Dynamic results in the form of curves and animations
are available during and after model solution. Combined with
the fast and numerically stable Fedem solvers, the user interface
facilitates an engineering process with shortened turnaround
times and quick access to simulation results for a clearer understanding
of the physical behavior of the model.
Complete library of mechanism entities
A comprehensive set of mechanism entities ensures physically
realistic modeling. Entities include a complete joint library
- optionally with non-linear spring, damper and friction characteristics,
discrete springs and dampers, functions - optionally with references
to external data files, forces and control systems, etc. All
entities have a 3D graphical representation and all properties
are accessible through user interface components.
Internal or MATLAB/Simulink control systems
To ensure accurate simulation of the interaction between
structural dynamics and control systems, a co-simulation technique
is applied. The internal control system contains a library of
compensators and elementary control blocks. This enables basic
modeling of supplementary mechanism units such as hydraulic
cylinders, actuators and electrical drives. In addition to the
internal control system, a Fedem - MATLAB/Simulink interface
is provided for modeling of more advanced control loops.
