LMS Releases Enhanced Data Processing Solution for Accelerated Durability Testing

LMS announced the release of LMS TecWare Rev 3.6. LMS TecWare is a modular solution for durability load data analysis and synthesis. It integrates and automates raw data processing and streamlines the process from data importation to reporting. The latest version provides a complete and user-friendly solution for durability load data processing and validation and significantly accelerates everyday processing tasks, which increases data quality considerably. Rev 3.6 comes with an interactive LMS TecWare TimeEdit feature and an extended LMS TecWare ProcessBuilder to easily set up repetitive data handling.

“LMS TecWare Rev 3.6 is designed to increase test productivity and reduce the time to analyze and document measurement data. It reduces downtime of test rigs, delivers more insights from fewer prototype tests and completes faster design cycles. In a nutshell, LMS TecWare Rev 3.6 helps you achieve a higher return from existing testing facilities,” stated Bruno Massa, Vice-President LMS Test Division.

To support large data sets, the LMS TecWare TimeEdit tool edits and analyzes time signals and has been enhanced with overlay capabilities, freehand zooming and keyboard short cuts for fast data scrolling. These new features help visually inspect and rescale measured time series, clean up data sets and detect anomalies in a fully interactive environment.

Thanks to the LMS TecWare ProcessBuilder automation functionality, errors and user interventions are reduced to a minimum. Users can set up processes in the graphical user interface, consolidate data, visualize it in various analysis domains, and create automated reports, which can be integrated in Microsoft Office.

“The latest LMS TecWare Rev 3.6 offers answers to the most pressing load data processing needs: it streamlines large data set analysis, designs customer correlated test schedules and accelerates test scenarios based on usage profiles. LMS TecWare Rev 3.6 helps customers perform high quality and accelerated durability engineering thanks to the application’s interactive load data processing,” commented Bruno Massa.

Many automotive OEMs and suppliers are currently using LMS TecWare to automate their durability load data processing. These include, among others, GM Europe (Adam Opel), Audi AG, Bentley, BMW AG, Chrysler, Daimler AG, Porsche AG, FIAT, Ford, Daewoo, Honda, Skoda, Volkswagen, Bosch, Continental, Behr, Donaldson, Freudenberg-NOK, Magneti Marelli, Schaeffler, TRW, and the ZF Group.
