Leuven, Belgium – November 23, 2009 – LMS, the engineering innovation company, has released the
latest version of its integrated solution for 3D functional performance simulation: LMS Virtual.Lab
Revision 9. A milestone release, the LMS Virtual.Lab Revision 9 software suite is filled with brand-new
performance capabilities and breakthrough technology to ramp up engineering productivity, most
notably with new BEM and FEM capabilities and a brand-new ray tracing solution in LMS Virtual.Lab
Acoustics. Dedicated industrial application solutions found in LMS Virtual.Lab Motion have been
significantly enhanced for improved usability as well, while the new thermal fatigue solution in LMS
Virtual.Lab Durability and the MADYMO coupling safety feature in LMS Virtual.Lab Structures are
clearly breakthrough solutions in their respective simulation markets.
“We are very excited about LMS Virtual.Lab Revision 9. Of course, it provides major advantages for all
types of performance engineering in general, but I really must say, for the acoustics market, we kicked
it up a notch. Not only did we massively broaden the suite’s FEM capabilities, but we also enhanced
our unique BEM technology. These breakthrough developments show why we’re the acoustic
simulation market leader,” stated Stefaan Goossens, Vice-President Simulation at LMS International.
In addition to the extensive work on LMS Virtual.Lab Acoustics, LMS Virtual.Lab Motion has been
extended with key industrial applications for driving dynamics, aerospace, wind, powertrain noise &
vibration, tracked vehicle and a superior 1D/3D co-simulation methodology for mechatronics systemlevel
simulation.
Especially for thermal applications, LMS Virtual.Lab Durability’s new thermal fatigue feature helps
engineers analyze the impact of changing temperatures on fatigue behavior to accurately evaluate
fatigue on vital engine parts, exhaust systems and turbo chargers.
For the transportation safety market, the new coupling with MADYMO occupant safety software permits
users to easily position MADYMO crash test dummies, and by integrating the MADYMO crash test
dummy with the vehicle FE model, users can perform complete occupant safety simulations.
LMS customers with active service contracts are currently receiving their upgrades. LMS users
