LMS Imagine.Lab Electromechanical Components helps simulate mechatronic systems for the specification of components, the interaction with their mechanical structure and the design and validation of control strategies. Designers of electromechanical and electro-fluid components get access to an integrated platform to simulate the overall system response and take into account a combination of electrical, magnetic, mechanical, thermal and fluid phenomena which are accurately described within the AMESim components.
The AMESim multi-disciplinary platform comes with a set of specific libraries of thermo-electric and magnetic models that help to model electromechanical actuators such as solenoid valves and torque motors. LMS Imagine.Lab Electromechanical Components integrates two complementary approaches: description of the magnetic circuit using simple elements such as reluctances and airgaps (lump parameter) and the use of FEM tables. Strong coupling capabilities between electric/magnetic/mechanic models enable component specification and sizing as well as optimization of dynamic behaviors.
Engineers are able to design multi-disciplinary systems and subsystems and evaluate their behavior in function of technological choices. The platform’s short computation times lead to faster analysis and refined optimization.
