    VPS-MICRO

    VPS-MICRO

    VEXTEC Corporation

    VPS-MICRO predicts the life of manufactured parts by simulating the behavior of the materials they’re made from. VPS-MICRO is built on three inescapable truths. Durability is not a function of applied stress, alone, but rather a combination of that stress and the material’s reaction to it. The materials we use to build complex components and systems are not homogenous. Computer cycles are shorter and cheaper than physical testing cycles or prototyping. Using these ideas as a foundation, VEXTEC’s VPS-MICRO® is a computational software that accurately accounts for a material’s reaction to the stress imparted upon it, its variability and all its various damage mechanisms, its geometry, and the conditions of its usage over time. The result is a 3D, time and condition-based product simulation that accurately and efficiently reflects the real world physics of how, when and why damage occurs.

    REM3D

    REM3D

    TRANSVALOR

    Based on a local density map, REM3D® provides reliable answers for the prediction of parts resistance as well as insulating, noise and/or comfort properties. Simulate a ‘dual foam’ pouring and observe the transition zones between foams of different rigidities. Taking into account "mold tilting" translates realistic process conditions to be as close as possible to reality. The integration of functionalities such as automatic mold tilting or the impact of gravity on the melt flow allows to analyze the real conditions of your processes to guarantee the homogeneity of your parts. The study of the positioning of the injectors limits the presence of defaults. Thus, you get reliable predictions concerning the resistance of your parts but also the insulating and comfort properties of the foams. For plastics with fibers, REM3D® determines the fiber's orientation during the filling stage and after cooling.

BQR’s CircuitHawk is a powerful and unique (patent based) design error detection and stress analysis tool for electrical circuits. CircuitHawk detects design errors during the design phase, before layout and production. This way, no schematic, connectivity or stress errors are found in the qualification tests during final verification. CircuitHawk shortens design cycles and time to market, which in turn saves a lot of money and helps bolster corporate reputation. CircuitHawk is the only tool integrating design error detection with electrical stresses, thermal, MTBF and service life prediction at the schematic level, before PCB layout and production.

After the derating analysis is complete, stress-based MTBF prediction provides a realistic estimate of the mean time to product failure. fiXtress is a superior Design for Reliability (DfR) suite, serving as an add-on for any Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tool. fiXtress modules can either operate standalone, or complement other modules to provide a comprehensive DfR solution for electrical circuits and PCB design. Unique thermal analysis that estimates the average temperature rise over the cold plate, for accurate stress derating.

    WindowsLDP

    WindowsLDP

    The Ohio State University

    WindowsLDP (Load Distribution Program) is a quasi-static gear design and analysis tool for external and internal spur and helical gear pairs. This software program has been adapted and used extensively by most of the consortium members as the main gear design and analysis tool. Variations of this model to perform surface wear and duty cycle analyses are also available. WindowsLDP employs computationally efficient and accurate semi-analytical formulations to compute the load distribution between multiple mating teeth of gears. With the predicted load distribution, it computes the loaded transmission error, root and contact stress distributions, mesh stiffness functions, tooth forces as well as other design relative parameters such as lubricant film thickness and surface temperature. User has the choice of using SI or English units in the analyses. WindowsLDP’s capabilities also include multi-torque analyses and manufacturing robustness analyses.
