New Software Version Revolutionizes Modeling Processes - ITI launches SimulationX 3.3
Dresden, Germany 29 January 2010 - ITI, international innovation leader in virtual system engineering, today announces the release of the latest version of SimulationX, the software standard for physical modeling of mechatronics systems. Version 3.3 provides numerous functional enhancements and will be available with on demand software licensing for the first time. With the new release ITI again lives up to its name of developing the best simulation tools in terms of handling, intuition and reliability. The palette of ready-to-use, real-time capable models and physical components was expanded by ten percent. Highlight of the new release is the first independent SimulationX Modelica Edition. The all-in-one installation package simplifies the installation process by installing all required program components via a single setup automatically according to the user’s particular needs and profile.
(firmenpresse) - SimulationX 3.3 is easily adjusted to the different profiles of users and is now available in two editions, SimulationX Professional Edition and SimulationX Modelica edition. With the Modelica edition, Modelica experts can now design and exchange individual models by using Modelica language inside SimulationX. Users benefit from the remarkable combination of the most user friendly simulation software with the flexibility and formalism of a true Modelica platform. Delivering this new edition quickly to the market, ITI has responded to the growing demand for an open standard for exchanging models. Manufacturers, OEMs and service providers can now design, exchange and re-use simulation models.
The even more convenient program handling safeguards the overview of the complete model even during later changes and enhancements. Thanks to manually editable connections between model components and highlights in colors for dynamic visualizations, the user can immediately detect changes in the model. Quality of models and reliability of modeling results are increased while time for validation is reduced as, for instance, deviations from admissible values are observable at a glance. Another enhancement in ergonomics is achieved by additional views: The structure view and 3D model view are enhanced with additions of documentation and text view, enabling models to be changed and enhanced directly in the Modelica text format.
One of the highlights of the SimulationX Modelica Edition is the advanced graphic editor that allows the user to set up the most demanding graphics in a convenient way. The improved model explorer of the SimulationX StatechartDesigner displays the different states as well as the transitions between them. This significantly simplifies the navigation within complex state charts. The SimulationX 3.3 Professional Edition broadens the modeling scope with more than 20 new model types in the power transmission library e.g. for combustion engines, clutches, transmission elements, cam disc mechanism, and propellers. Many new functions and model types are also available in the libraries signal blocks, actuation, electronics, and magnetic. Thanks to new features in the 1D Mechanics all elastic elements such as springs and dampers can be switched to rigid. This allows the user to analyze the model’s kinematic behavior in a more precise and effective way.
The use of SimulationX models in real-time platforms significantly expands the possibilities in design, prototyping and series launch of machines and plants. SimulationX 3.3 contains interfaces to the NI real-time testing and simulation platforms LabVIEW and NI VeriStand as well as new solvers with constant step size. This facilitates the test and optimization of the model’s real-time capabilities without biasing the model itself.
„We are proud to be able to offer our customers real functional innovation across all development areas. It’s not in our development plan it’s in our new release and its available now on schedule. Considering all enhancements connected with a fifty percent reduction in required results storage and increased solver speeds makes SimulationX an unbeatable modeling tool,” comments Thomas Neidhold, ITI Manager Software Development. “SimulationX 3.3 is a genuine Modelica platform. It represents real-time capability, total user friendliness and greatest flexibility”

About SimulationX
SimulationX - The Driving Force in System Simulation determines the level of modeling, simulating and optimizing complex technical systems. The software models the interaction of components from a multitude of domains including their mutual interaction and feedback on one platform. This significantly distinguishes SimulationX from any other kind of CAE software (FEM, CFD, MBS). SimulationX is the standard in software for evaluation of the interaction of all components in technical systems. It is the universal CAE tool for modeling, simulating and analyzing physical effects – with ready-to-use model libraries for 1D mechanics, 3D multi-body systems, power transmission, hydraulics, pneumatics, thermodynamics, electrics, electrical drives, magnetic as well as controls – post-processing included. SimulationX fully supports Modelica® language and offers a wide range of open, comprehensive CAx-interfaces. Further information on www.simulationx.com.
