Visionary Simulation Tool for Cutting-Edge Technology of the Future - ITI Simulation Solutions Are Amongst CAE Highlights at the Hannover Trade Fair
As in the past 16 years CAE specialist ITI GmbH will be at the Hannover trade show from April, 20th – 24th 2009 in Hannover. Besides numerous enhancements of the new SimulationX release ITI gives an insight into latest developments in the field of thermal systems. Another focus especially in the field of Hardware-in-the-Loop will be on the presentation of a flexible complete computer solution for rapid prototyping. Increases in turnover and new customer projects characterized the end of the last year as well as the beginning of the new ITI business year. Especially in the automotive industry but also in mechanical engineering, shipbuilding, and power generation demand for SimulationX to analyze and adjust systems from pre-development through to serial development grew enormously. In the course of this positive trend ITI went on expanding its international sales network; thanks to the new distribution partner Laduga Ltd., located in Moscow, SimulationX has also been available in the Eastern European countries Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and the Ukraine since January 2009.
One of the ITI highlights at this year’s Hannover trade fair will be the exclusive preview of the SimulationX release. Particularly the field of multi-body mechanics will provide an enlarged Modelica support and numerous new features to simplify the simulation of complex technical systems and to accelerate analysis up to 25 per cent.
Apart from this, ITI will present further developments in the field of simulating thermal systems: To enable a more efficient modeling of thermo fluid technical systems within heat engineering, power engineering, cooling technology and drying technology, ITI works together with specialists of TLK-Thermo GmbH and the institute of thermodynamics of the University of Braunschweig on the integration of the established Modelica-libraries “TIL” and “TILMedia” in SimulationX. Therewith the user will be supported in the stationary and transient simulation e.g. of heat pumps, air conditions and cooling systems in a more comfortable way. Thanks to open interfaces, users will fully benefit from the specific options of modeling, analysis and simulation of both software tools. Further details about the new software release will be presented at the fair.
One of the features of ITI simulation solutions is their flexibility e.g. the executable and approved interfaces to leading dSPACE and Cosateq real-time platforms. Therewith, ITI belongs to the first suppliers of approved software interfaces that without difficulty facilitate the transfer to HiL-simulation in conjunction with electronic devices. As a result the model transfer is accelerated significantly and the effort for cost-intensive tests on prototypes is considerably minimized. Visitors can test the functionality of ITI HiL solutions on the basis of selected models themselves and discuss questions with experienced engineers directly at the ITI main stand.
“With our presence at the leading trade fair MDA and E-Motive we consciously commit ourselves to the trend of alternative drives. As an international leading supplier of high performance multi-domain simulation software for physical model-based development we have been dedicated to closely connecting different engineering disciplines from the very beginning. The more popular our knowledge and long-term experience in the field of mechanical and electrical drive technology as well as hydraulics and pneumatics are today in the field of integrated development of energy-efficient machines” explains Jens Schindler, Managing Director of ITI GmbH, the decision for participating in this year’s Hannover trade show.
At the Hannover trade fair 2009 ITI will be present in hall 25 with the main stand L16. Furthermore, at the E-Motive in hall 24, stand C15 visitors will be informed about ITI solutions in the field of hybrid and electric drives in vehicles and mobile machines.
About ITI
For more than 18 years ITI has been one of the internationally leading companies for the virtual system engineering. The software SimulationX is applied by engineers and scientists at more than 600 well-known companies such as Audi, BMW, Daimler, Volkswagen, Continental, Schaeffler, Siemens, Demag, Husky, Nikon, Mitsubishi and Liebherr. SimulationX is also widely used in academics and research world-wide. Main fields of application are power engineering, Power transmission, fluid power, mechanical engineering, power generation and automotive. Apart from this ITI supports its clients in the field of research and development of high-technology with engineering and consulting services. Further information is available on http://www.iti.de.
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 standard software for valuation of the interaction of all components of 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, magnetics as well as controls – post-processing included. SimulationX fully supports Modelica® language and offers a wide range of open, comprehensive CAx-interfaces.
