What’s new in Simcenter systems simulation 2404
With the release of Simcenter systems simulation 2404, new valuable features are added for its users to help them transform engineering and get ready for tomorrow’s challenges. Below presents highlight several new features from this release, including Simcenter Amesim, Simcenter Flomaster and Simcenter System Analyst.
Simcenter Amesim 2404
Simcenter Amesim 2404 offers several new features that will make the life of most of its users easier, independent of the libraries or solutions that are being used.
Take for example the enhancement of the graph digitizer. Simulation engineers who need to retrieve numerical values from a part specification curve in a printed image can now also use color detection to extract curve data based on the line color, making it easier to use parts of suppliers’ catalogs in their models even if the characterization data are not fully accessible.
The CAD import tool has been improved with a seamless way to extract CAD geometry of a mechanism. This means that error-prone manual steps are avoided from the model set-up process and users can now fully take advantage of the benefits of the recursive method of the 3D Mechanical library.
Simcenter Flomaster 2404
For Simcenter Flomaster 2404 we highlight two new features that have been added to make pipe scheduling and reporting easier, and makes it possible to deploy system simulation models in real-time operational environments.
For fluid system design engineers who need to check that the pressures in the system don’t exceed the pressure ratings of the pipes in their systems, the new pipe scheduling and reporting enhancements allow the entry of the minimum, maximum and working pressures and validation during the simulation. This enables users to enter data on pipeline operational requirements in one place and then validate systems against those requirements without requiring additional post-processing steps.
The second highlighted new feature opens new opportunities to extend the life of simulation models into the operation phase and realize their full potential. As of release 2404, users have the ability to robustly deploy full-fidelity simulation on the Industrial Edge platform and use their models for virtual sensing, operator training, virtual commissioning, leak detection, sensing in extreme environments, and optimization of their processes. This is an important step when preparing and transforming simulation models for use as an Executable Digital Twin (xDT).
Client for Git
For Client for Git users new features are added for their daily work. Users can now instantly recognize that a folder is being managed by Client for Git when using Windows File Explorer with the new folder icons per collection type. Also, as of now, it’s not required anymore to download different file versions and compare them manually outside Client for Git environment, thanks to the new configure compare and resolve tools.
Simcenter System Analyst 2404
In Simcenter System Analyst a new automotive demonstrator is available for multi-attribute balancing. This demonstrator shows how Simcenter System Analyst can provide a central dashboard for configuring and optimizing an automotive system across multiple types of analysis (performance, range, drivability, thermal comfort and more). This means that engineers can save time to get the optimum system, by reducing iterations between the teams, and be sure that all attributes have been evaluated with the right system configuration.
