Visual-Environment-an integrated suite of pre-and post-processor
that can work simultaneously or individually in a shared
environment of other products ESI Groupe
Visual-Mesh is a complete meshing tool which supports
CAD Import, 2D and 3D Meshing and Editing features. Some of the
features which work on 'mesh only' will be available in
Visual-Crash PAM context.
Visual-Crash PAM (VCP), which is one of the contexts in
Visual-Environment, provides PAM-CRASH users with fast iteration
and rapid model revision process, from data input to visualization
for crashworthiness simulation and design. This environment
provides quick model browsing, advanced mesh editing capabilities
and rapid graphical assembly of system models. VCP allows graphical
creation, modification and deletion of contacts, materials,
constraints, control cards and all crash entities. In VCP, you are
provided with tools for checking model quality and simulation
parameters prior to launching calculations with the Solver. Using
these tools helps in correcting errors and fine-tuning the model
and simulation before submitting it to a solver, thus saving time
and resources.
Visual-Safe is a context in Visual-Environment, dedicated to
Safety utilities. High productivity tools such as advanced dummy
positioning, seat morphing, belt fitting and airbag folding are
provided in this context.
Visual-Safe MAD (VSM) is a complete, efficient and
productive CAE environment for multi-body and finite element
occupant safety simulations using Madymo. It utilizes the
multi-window/multi-model/multi-application environment of
Visual-Environment very efficiently. It provides complete
flexibility of working for both the experienced and the novice
Madymo users alike. It incorporates a vast database of customer
requirements and feedback gathered over a decade.
Visual-Medysa guides PAM-MEDYSA 2G users in building
system models for design optimization and performance validation of
complex mechanical systems. Mechanical systems such as engine,
tires, chassis, suspensions, and machinery transmissions, can be
modeled with ease in this environment.
High Velocity Impact (HVI) simulation is used to
analyze the dynamic behavior of materials under very high speed
impacts. Visual-HVI supports PAM-SHOCK HVI user in modeling such
material data easily. This typically finds applications in
aerospace where we need to understand the damage suffered by a
spacecraft when it encounters space debris, such as
micro-meteoroids.
Visual-Viewer is the new generation Post Processing
tool with state-of-art Plotting utility. This caters to the
requirements of the CAE community. Visual-Viewer is built on the
multi page / multiplot environment, which enables the user to group
his data into pages and plots. Visual-Viewer is designed with
intuitive and sleek user interface with Windows look and feel.
Complete session can be re-run without loss of any data.
Visual-Viewer is completely command driven which enables the user
to execute commands at ease. Visual-Viewer is completely built on
multi-page and multi-plot environment. The user has the freedom to
create any number of pages and to have upto 16 windows in a single
page. These windows can be plot, animation, video, model or drawing
block windows. The entire snapshot of the product can be saved as a
template and restored any time.
Visual-Process Executive's Process-oriented philosophy
brings a compelling advantage to PAM-CRASH users to build processes
quickly by customizing GUIs and to execute them.
Visual-Crash Dyna (VCD) provides advanced capability
and fast-guided model building of LS-DYNA solver. Using
Visual-Environment multi-window/multimodels/multi-application
environment, with visual verification, complete model building
activity can be performed efficiently.
Visual-Seal provides advanced capability and
fast-guided model building of Seal model. Using the
Visual-Environment multi-window/multi-model/multi-application
environment, with visual verification, complete model-building
activity can be performed efficiently.
Visual-Life Nastran (VLN) is a comprehensive,
integrated environment for Nastran simulations with powerful
enterprise capabilities. VLN is a 'high-performance' software to
manage and assemble large and complex finite element system models
for Nastran, NVH and durability analysis with its unique
multi-window/multi model environment providing high productivity
with powerful visualization and model browsing.
Visual-Crash Rad (VCR) (Beta) provides advanced
capability and fast-guided model building of RADIOSS solver. Using
Visual-Environment multi-window/multimodels/multi-application
environment, with visual verification, complete model building
activity can be performed efficiently.
