LMS Virtual.Lab Motion Pre/Post
LMS Virtual.Lab Motion Pre/Post is the platform for multibody simulations and contains all required basic capabilities to execute the modeling and analysis part of the job. Solver capabilities are not included within this platform but solver input files and solver results files can be exported and imported to the solver. The LMS Virtual. Lab Motion Pre/Post offering is suited for departments that need more pre/post than solver resources.
LMS Virtual.Lab Motion Pre/Post allows the creation of complete models. System components are assembled with constraints and joints. Compliant interactions between components and their environment are modeled with suited and detailed force elements representing real dynamic physical behavior.
Animation features help visualize more complex movement, including deformation of components in flexible bodies and interference detection between components during the dynamic event case. In addition, special features allow to examine animated swept volume, vector force visualization and more. Various graphing features allow users to view detailed results of the overall motion of each of the bodies in the system like translational and rotational displacement, velocity and acceleration. All possible loading results in the system like internal and external forces and torques and components’ internal stresses are also available for graphing. Dedicated postprocess for suspension and vehicle and other user-defined template plots capabilities are provided as well to facilitate analysts work. The advanced user interface finally supports Visual Basic journaling and scripting to let engineers automate any complex and repetitive modeling process and reporting tasks allowing them to concentrate their efforts on the design analysis and optimization part of the work instead of spending non-value added time on design modeling and updating.
