The Load Identification Analysis module calculates operational forces acting on a system in either a direct way, an inverse way or through a combination of both methods. In the direct or mount stiffness method, the load is computed by multiplying the difference in operating displacement over a mount with its dynamic stiffness. The inverse method computes the acting loads applying the principle that the operational responses are due to the acting loads. By inverting the FRF matrix between the load application points and the operational response locations, and multiplying with the operational responses, the loads are obtained.

The EFC-400 simulation software from Narda Safety Test Solutions calculates low frequency electric and magnetic field strengths from power generating plants in the frequency range 0-500 Hz. It is the ideal tool for simulating high-voltage overhead lines, buried cables, switchboard plant, substations, general electrical installations, overhead railway lines, and railway routes. From an expandable data archive, pylons and other power lines can be added to the three-dimensional land profiles for processing. Thereby, actual background field strengths and the various frequencies from field sources can also be taken into account.
The new protocol software provides complete support - from planning to commissioning and documentation - complies with all user requirements at every stage, and offers major savings in time and workload. A single click on the mouse can generate printed, ready-to-use forms for documenting and displaying low-frequency systems. A dialogue box guides the user through the entire application, making it virtually error-free. All entries are then saved directly in a database, giving trouble-free access at any time.

• Engineering Fluid Dynamics (EFD) is a different breed of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software that helps mechanical design engineers analyze and optimize complex fluid flow and heat transfer processes across a wide range of products and industries. FloEFD is based on the same mathematical foundation and numerical simulation in fluid dynamics as traditional CFD software, but 7 key technologies set FloEFD apart, making it quicker and easier to use, more robust, and more accurate. .
FloEFD is designed for use by engineers and is radically different from traditional CFD software in that it completely removes the complexities of numerical/mathematical schemes and computational mesh creation from the user, allowing engineers to focus on optimizing their designs in the shortest possible time. Also since FloEFD is embedded in CAD it uses 3D MCAD models directly – without the need for translation or data transfer. The FloEFD suite has been used in the design of various products from across a wide range of industries such as aerospace, automotive, medical devices, industrial machinery and pumps/ valves.

The AC/DC Module sets the stage for modeling the performance of capacitors, inductors, motors, and microsensors. Although these devices are principally characterized by electromagnetics, they are also affected by other types of physics. Thermal effects, for instance, can change electrical properties of materials, while electromechanical deflections and vibrations in generators need to be fully understood during any design process.
The capabilities of the AC/DC Module span electrostatics, magnetostatics, and electromagnetic quasi-statics with unlimited couplings to other physics.
When considering your electrical components as part of a larger system, the AC/DC Module provides an interface with SPICE circuit lists where you choose circuit elements for further 2D or 3D FEA modeling. Then you can take your analysis beyond the conventional by running a single simulation of a mixed system of lumped and high-fidelity models.
