Software ESTECH.SimFlex

Bring elastic body models into Simulink

Overview

ESTECH.SimFlex creates Simulink blocks that predicts the vibration characteristics based on vibration analysis results of finite element models.

Features

It creates Simulink blocks that represent vibration characteristics based on vibration analysis results from ESTECH.NAST+. It is an effective tool when it is necessary to consider the elastic component of the controlled object in Simulink-based control system design.

Because the configuration of the modes used in the calculation can be easily changed via the GUI, it is easy to identify modes that adversely affect the response. In addition, by using the principal component modes calculated by ESTECH.NAST+, significant degree-of-freedom reduction is possible.

After the Simulink simulation, deformation shapes and energy distributions can be checked on the finite element model, allowing efficient investigation of the causes of control performance degradation and countermeasures.
