LMS CADSI Releases DADS 9.5 for Dynamic Simulation of Virtual Prototypes.CORALVILLE, Iowa--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 30, 1999-- LMS CADSI CADSI Canadian Association of Defence & Security Industries CADSI Communication and Data Systems Integration CADSI Communications and Data Systems Integration , the Mechanical Simulation Technologies Division of LMS International, today announced the release of LMS DADS(R) Version 9.5, its state-of-the-art software for dynamic motion simulation. DADS is used by vehicle, aircraft, and other manufacturing companies to model virtual prototypes in order to improve the dynamic performance of their designs. The latest enhancements deliver ease-of-use, faster solution times, improved animation playback, a new Durability Interface, and specific modules for engine and suspension simulation. A new feature in DADS 9.5 is the ability to integrate LMS PolyFEM modal results into DADS for flexible body simulation - a unique competitive strength of DADS that enables precise load prediction and the animation of part deformation deformation /de·for·ma·tion/ (de?for-ma´shun) 1. in dysmorphology, a type of structural defect characterized by the abnormal form or position of a body part, caused by a nondisruptive mechanical force. 2. in mechanical systems. The initial integration with LMS's Durability Software FALANCS is also announced with this release. This new Durability Interface enables DADS to export and import time series load data for Durability and Fatigue Studies in FALANCS. In effect, a durability analysis of vehicle components, such as a suspension unit, can be now be performed using loads predicted on a "virtual test track" or "virtual test rig", long before the physical prototype even exists. Additionally, exporting DADS results to the LMS CADA-X post-processing tools allows advanced frequency domain analysis to be performed. The DADS Durability Interface provides the basis for true collaborative engineering between test, mechanical simulation, and durability engineers. "This release of LMS DADS 9.5 confirms our commitment to be the market leader for mechanical simulation technology. By providing best-of-class software, we support our customers in developing functional virtual prototypes that improve product quality, reduce engineering costs, and shorten time to market. In collaboration with our automotive customers, we have developed unique and powerful tools for the high-fidelity analysis and visualization of dynamic engine performance. In addition, we have released new elements to analyze and optimize vehicle suspension designs," states Rex Smith Rex Smith (born September 19 1955, in Jacksonville, Florida) is an American actor and singer. Music career During the late 1970s, Smith was popular as a teen idol. Because of his good looks, he was featured regularly in 16 magazine and Tiger Beat. , Director of LMS CADSI. DADS 9.5 is available on multiple computer platforms and Operating Systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. including: Windows NT (Windows New Technology) A 32-bit operating system from Microsoft for Intel x86 CPUs. NT is the core technology in Windows 2000 and Windows XP (see Windows). Available in separate client and server versions, it includes built-in networking and preemptive multitasking. , HP, SUN, SGI (SGI, Sunnyvale, CA, www.sgi.com) A manufacturer of workstations and servers, founded in 1982 by Jim Clark. The company was founded as Silicon Graphics, Inc., but changed to its acronym in 1999. , IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) , DEC.
