Visualization is an important component of multibody simulation. It makes it possible to clearly illustrate complex motion sequences, dynamic relationships, and simulation results, thereby facilitating a better understanding of them.
A key foundation for this is the proper handling of CAD data. Different CAD systems and exchange formats offer various possibilities and limitations when it comes to transferring geometric information. The quality and characteristics of this data not only influence visualization but can also be of crucial importance for numerical calculations, for example, when modeling and calculating contacts between components.
Simertis has in-depth expertise in working with CAD systems and geometric formats, as well as in importing and exporting data. This enables us to process design data provided by customers in a targeted manner and efficiently convert it into simulation models. Through coordinated workflows and appropriate data interfaces, we can avoid unnecessary processing steps, thereby reducing time and costs.
Innovative Visualization of Simulation Results
In addition to traditional animation of simulation results, simertis also explores innovative visualization options.
For example, the company has successfully visualized multi-body simulation models—including their simulated movements—in the immersive virtual reality environment aixCAVE.
Another example is the visualization of an FMI-based real-time simulation in Unity. In this case, information from the MKS model was used to build the three-dimensional representation, and existing software functions were adapted to meet the specific requirements.
These projects demonstrate our ability to intelligently combine different engineering and simulation technologies and to find suitable solutions even for exceptional requirements.
