MECHANISM MODULE

Multibody System Dynamics

The Multibody Systems Dynamics workshop allows the creation of spatial mechanisms with an intuitive and user-friendly interface.

New types of joints have been added, such as helical joints. The creation of transmissions is possible, including gears, racks and pinions, and prismatic links.

Furthermore, a generic transmission allows for the creation of customized transmissions.

Dynamic simulation of mechanisms in space expands the range of possible analysis for design or training purposes.

Mechanisms can be run independently or co-simulated with power workshops, such as hydraulics, pneumatics, or electrical engineering.

PIPING & PROCESS INSTRUMENTATION

New Component Builders

4 new builders have been added to the Instrumentation and Process Control library that allow the user to quickly configure and parametrize components, such as:

Process Instrumentation: Pipe-mounted and equipment-mounted instrumentation that can be used to measure flow, pressure, temperature, etc.
Process valves: Different types of valve bodies with actuators can be defined, as well as the flow characteristic information using Cv/Kv-Position data.
Bubbles: Different types of bubbles can be represented and parametrized in terms of identification, functional configuration and simulation behaviour.

These builders make it easy to configure instrumentation symbols and codes following ANSI/ISA 5.1 guidelines.

I/P converters

A new component is available on the library to allow the user to quickly define an interface that converts signals from an instrumentation loop into gas or liquid pressure that travels through a pipe to activate process valve actuators.

This component is typically found on P&IDs where control valves with piston-types actuators are used, and is typically represented in bubble format.

The component features an easy-to-use configuration interface for the signal translation into pressure, as well as parameters to adjust the connectors and identification.

INTERFACE AND USER FRIENDLINESS

Improved Appearance Options for Customizable Reservoirs

Two options are available on the customizable reservoir that feature a builder to improve the appearance of the component for both edition and simulation modes.

It is possible to define reservoirs of up to 1000 x 1000 port locations, which greatly improve the size of the symbol for large applications. It is also possible to define rounded or straight corners and animate the level during simulation.

The customizable reservoir is available on the Hydraulics, Pneumatics and Instrumentation and Process control libraries.

Improved Appearance Options for Customizable Reservoirs

Floating Contextual Tools

To simplify the use of the software, any selection made on the diagram will display a floating and contextual toolbar which offers the most used commands for this selection.

New Ribon

The addition of new technology modules gave us the opportunity to review the structural logic of the ribbons. Project-related functions and their management have been grouped together in the tab of the same name. The same principle has been applied to documents.

New Document Creation, Nomenclature, and History Dialog

The document creation, nomenclature, and history dialogs have been updated for a consistent user experience.

The dialogs allow for document creation via a customizable interface. Templates display a description related to their use.

It is possible to set favorites, choose the layout, and preview.

Custom templates are automatically added to the list.

New Document Creation, Nomenclature, and History Dialog

TELESCOPIC CYLINDER BUILDER

New Configuration Options Added to the Builder

The new builder provides more options for configuring the dimensions of telescopic cylinders. It is now possible to set different strokes and different wall thicknesses for each stage of the cylinder.

The position of the ports has been made modifiable. They can be placed on the body of the cylinder or on the end of the rod. Additionally, it is possible to indicate which part of the cylinder, the body or the rod, will move when the cylinder is actuated during simulation.

Lastly, the two cylinder types, single/double acting and synchronous/non‑synchronous are independent so all four combinations are now possible.

New Configuration Options Added to the Builder

New Illustrated Components

New components have been added to the Electrical – Industrial and Renewable Energy library:

The hybrid inverter allows you to choose the charging mode and energy source, thus simulating the hybrid energy system.
The grid-tie inverter (single-phase and three-phase) has been integrated to simulate the absorption or injection of energy into the electrical grid. This component is essential for grid-connected solar applications and ensures efficient energy management, promoting self-consumption and/or the resale of excess energy.
Components allowing battery measurement to visualize its state of charge in real time.

New Induction Motors

New three-phase induction motors :

Double-squirrel-cage — Delivers high starting torque with reduced slip at full load; ideal for compressors, conveyors, and other heavy-start loads.
Two fixed speeds (Dahlander) and two configurable speeds – Changing the motor rotation speed by changing the stator configuration.
Wound-rotor — Provides fine adjustment of starting torque via external rotor resistors, enabling soft starts, limiting inrush current, and allowing studies of network voltage dips.

Improvement to the existing induction motor :

DQ simulation model integration — Improves dynamic accuracy (torque/flux transients) and enables vector control and V/f.

Single-phase induction motors with four starting modes :

Split-phase — Simple, economical choice for light-duty loads.
Capacitor-start — Provides high starting torque with a centrifugal switch for heavy loads.
Capacitor-run — Offers good efficiency and power factor for quiet, continuous operation (fans, pumps).
Capacitor-start-run — Combines high starting torque with good running efficiency for versatile use.

Updating Electrical Machines

Calculation of thermal evolution and power balance for all synchronous and asynchronous machines. Machine temperature is calculated based on design parameters, cooling type, and ambient temperature. Machine efficiency is calculated based on input power, output power, and losses.

All machines have lists of ready-to-use parameter sets for multiple power ratings (motors, generators, and machines) to reduce commissioning time and ensure realistic dynamics (consistent Ra, La, J, Bm, Laf).

New format of the “Electric – Vehicle” library

The new “Electric – Vehicle” library has been re-formatted and is available with the other libraries. It includes the most commonly used automotive components that comply with SAE and IEC standards. New components and a series of automotive relays have been added to this library to speed up the design and review of schematics.

TRANSMISSION MECHANICS

New Components

A 2-shaft gear box has been added to support variable gear ratio and efficiency for application such as CVT or variable transmissions. It also supports the transmission of shaft angle making it suitable to use with motor encoders.

COMPONENT MANAGEMENT

Component Explorer

Component Explorer organizes in one dialogue the list of all the elements and components of a project and their representations, to provide an overview of the project and simplify navigation. Interlinked elements as well as the possible representations of a component in multiple locations within the project are grouped together.

For example:

Wire harness and its cables and connectors,
Cable and its wires and its image,
Continuous wire and its segments,
Hydraulic cylinder represented in a design circuit, a connection diagram and in a mechanism,
Hydraulic line represented in a design circuit and in a connection diagram with its fittings.

PLOTTER

Plotter Evolution

New options have been added to the plotters to improve usability.

The y axes of a plotter can be hidden. If all the curves on an axis are hidden, the axis is automatically hidden.
Curves can be renamed independently of the diagram.
Y axes can be stacked, grouped by measurement, or separated.
Cursor positions can be edited for greater precision.
Point density during export can be reduced.
