TESTING & SIMULATION
PRODUCT GUIDE
Precision power analyzer
Yokogawa's (Sugar Land, Texas) new current
sensor element and upgraded firmware
for its WT5000 Precision Power
Analyzer are designed to help companies
improve performance when developing
or evaluating electronic devices such as
electric-vehicle (EV) related equipment or
systems for solar and wind power installations.
The new current sensor element
runs off the
WT5000's
internal DC
power supply,
making external
power supplies unnecessary. This
makes set up for measurements easier as
the only things required are the current
sensor and a connecting cable. Three sensor
connection cable lengths are available
- 3 m, 5 m and 10 m (10 ft, 16 ft and 33 ft).
This helps take account of varying test
bench layouts, where the power analyzer
may not be located right next to the device
under test. Three different cable
lengths allow users to select the one most
suitable for their set up.

Free-form math tool
Maple Flow from Maplesoft (Waterloo,
Canada) is a new mathematics tool that
allows engineers to more easily brainstorm,
develop and document their
mathematics and analyses. Maple Flow
provides a virtual, whiteboard-style environment
that automatically keeps calculations
live as users refine, reposition, and
develop their calculations. By providing a
flexible, whiteboard-style environment,
Maple Flow allows design engineers to
easily sketch out and formalize technical
ideas, revising and reordering content
with simple drag-and-drop behavior.
Users can add math, text, and images to
a live, interactive document, and Maple
Flow keeps all of the mathematics automatically
updated. The Maple Flow environment
handles the design calculations
that lie at the heart of virtually all engineering
projects, such as circuit analysis,
beam loading, highway pavement design
and combustion.

Test-based engineering
Simcenter Testlab software from Siemens
Digital Industries Software (Plano, Texas)
is part of the Simcenter portfolio of simulation
and test solutions within the
Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of integrated
software and services. The latest release
includes updates to Simcenter Testlab
Neo, enhanced model-based systems
testing, introduces a new technology for
accelerating structural dynamics called
TRUCK & OFF-HIGHWAY ENGINEERING
digital image
correlation,
and
frontloads
analysis of
full vehicle
noise, vibration
and harshness (NVH) during the
design process. Test and simulation engineers
as well as test campaign managers
can benefit from this latest release for
multi-disciplinary test-based performance
engineering, specifically designed to offer
test and simulation teams new capabilities
to innovate smart products more productively.
In Simcenter Testlab, test engineers
have access to new technologies
that can increase productivity when collecting
and processing data.

CT data analysis software
The latest version of Volume Graphics'
(Charlotte, N.C.) high-end CT data analysis
software suite brings enhanced capabilities
to manufacturers looking for better
ways to inspect parts and improve designs-however
they are made. Version
3.5 provides updates like more powerful
automated design-geometry adjustment
and repair tools that can be used to correct
and/or offset issues that stem from
the manufacturing process
itself. Moldmakers,
casting shops and additive
manufacturing
(AM) providers alike can
employ the software to
detect and visualize
material and/or design defects or distortions-and
then employ sophisticated
capabilities to correct their CAD designs,
compare values against nominal limits and
ensure that final part quality meets applicable
industry standards. Some of the
highlights in version 3.5 of Volume
Graphics' CT data analysis software suite
include a completely reworked manufacturing
geometry correction module, enhanced
mesh compensation, and new
porosity and inclusion analysis of castings.
