LMS launches LMS Imagine.Lab Rev13

12/6/2013

Leuven, Belgium, December 3, 2013 - LMS, which was acquired by Siemens in January 2013 and is now a business segment within Siemens PLM Software, announced the latest release, Rev13, of its LMS Imagine.Lab software, the state-of-the-art platform for mechatronic system simulation and collaborative design. LMS Imagine.Lab Rev13 delivers a variety of new features and enhancements aimed at increasing platform openness and system integration efficiency while strengthening collaboration to master the complexity of even the most advanced products.

"We are proud of LMS Imagine.Lab Rev13 with its focus on openness and systems integration. Once again this release is reinforcing the LMS Imagine.Lab value for collaborative systems engineering," stated Nicolas Orand, LMS Imagine.Lab Solutions Director. "Like every new LMS Imagine.Lab release, we are pleased to provide multiple modeling capabilities and methods for thermal fluid, electrical, internal combustion engine, transmission, mechanical 3D and many other areas. These improvements expand the application possibilities for all types of industries while focusing on the automotive, ground vehicle, aeronautics and mechanical industries."

Towards openness and efficiency in system integration

With today's launch, LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim extends its open platform commitment. With additional Modelica support, LMS Imagine.Lab has become the first simulation platform to couple causal and acausal modeling into a single model, offering a best-in-class approach.

LMS AMESim continues to strengthen its position as a simulation environment for system integration. It can now be used as a Functional Mockup Interface (FMI) master simulation platform. In addition, Rev13 has increased its simulation capabilities with the Statechart Designer tool for scenario definition and logical controls modeling. New system analysis tools include Power/Energy analysis for improved eco-design with easy variant comparison and system optimization.

From system engineering to system simulation

LMS Imagine.Lab SysDM, the model and data management tool in LMS Imagine.Lab, now offers users a smart import process for S-function and Functional Mockup Unit (FMU) libraries. Thanks to these new features, LMS SysDM can handle more behavioral model types for direct reuse in a configured architecture in LMS Imagine.Lab System Synthesis.

Moreover, LMS System Synthesis has strengthened its tool-agnostic capabilities thanks to its compliancy with the FMI standard and SysML architecture imports as well as interoperability with the CosiMate® co-simulation framework. LMS System Synthesis now easily integrates heterogeneous models and seamless multi-level configuration, reinforcing LMS Imagine.Lab as a best-in-class platform for Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE).

Mastering product complexity

Responding to the most advanced industrial requirements, LMS Imagine.Lab Rev13 provides users with unmatched modeling value across all stages of the design cycle. The new release comes with a 3D Mechanical library to allow users to easily model Multi-Body Systems (MBS) and the related actuators, considering system dynamics and performance during early design stages. Rev13 also extends thermal fluid system modeling capabilities with the Media Property Assistant that lets users seamlessly generate thermal and thermal-hydraulics media properties.

Tailored solutions for automotive and ground vehicles

For automotive and ground vehicle manufacturers and suppliers, Rev13 offers several new features that support vehicle electrification and help engineers design complex smart systems. A new aging capability for battery models and the conventional and hybrid vehicle architecture library help integrate more electrical systems in all kinds of vehicle architecture.

Smart system design requires system simulation to evaluate new configurations early in the development stages. This includes advanced features to manage system complexity and validate controls. Thanks to new functionalities in the IFP-Drive library's internal combustion engine component, LMS Imagine.Lab now supports innovative technologies, such as cylinder deactivation or variable compression ratio on the functional modeling level. Among vehicle system dynamics tools, the easy-to-use robust driver model based on the Model Predictive Control theory enables engineers to obtain realistic animation for a variety of test cases while keeping CPU time short. For early-stage axle design, Rev13 provides the Kinematics and Compliance (K&C) Designer tool for axle table generation even with minimal parameters.

Addressing aeronautics industry challenges

For the aeronautics industry, development efforts have concentrated on strengthening capabilities for electrical aircraft and fuel systems. With new aircraft fuel system models and demonstrators, Rev13 significantly improves usability so engineers can easily define the complete fuel system and design fuel management strategies during the early development stages.

In addition, Rev13 provides numerous enhancements for early-stage power distribution network assessment and integration. Demo files depicting the electromechanical actuator design process let engineers check requirement consistency early to streamline the actuator development cycle. These improvements, as well as many other new features, represent a significant step towards More Electrical Aircraft design.

"As a partner for more than 10 years, IFP Energies nouvelles is pleased to cooperate in developing LMS' electric storage system capabilities. We believe that the electrical storage system features included in LMS Imagine.Lab Rev13 meet the requirements of industry players today and will help design high-performance electrified products with enhanced durability assessment," stated Valerie Sauvant-Moynot, Head of the Electrochemistry and Materials Department at IFP Energies nouvelles.
