LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim Rev11 Update only

An integrated platform for 1D modeling for design and analysis of heterogeneous (multi-physics), intelligent systems and predict their interdisciplinary characteristics, in which the components of the product described by analytical models representing the interactions of mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical subsystems.At the present time in different industries use of intelligent systems is the main way to improve the functional characteristics of products and innovative design solutions. Recent surveys show that about 80% of innovations related to the so-called "active" or intelligent systems. An example would be an improved injection system for clean and efficient automotive engines.
The trend of intelligent systems is observed not only in the automotive industry, where priority is given to such characteristics of production vehicles, safety, comfort and, of course, fun to drive. The new aircraft designs, too, rely heavily on the active control system actuators and the main safety systems. Intelligent packaging machines, high speed printing machines, excavators and wind turbines - they all make extensive use of active management mechanisms to achieve greater performance, reliability and reduced operating costs.

To create a simulation model of the system in LMS Imagine Lab AMESim, the user can use a large set of library components from different physical domains.
