LMS International announces the release of LMS OPTIMUS Rev 2.2. OPTIMUS is an environment for automated design space exploration: by modeling product performance as a multi-dimensional function of chosen design variables, it gives the engineer critical insights into the design itself. It can then intelligently find the optimum point in the design space using a combination of gradient methods or - new for this product release - state-of-the-art genetic methods, automating and monitoring the whole simulation process and thereby eliminating one of the most tedious tasks in design engineering.
OPTIMUS can link to any simulation code, even legacy systems, and helps engineers being more effective with their existing codes and models - instead of having them start again from scratch with new, unfamiliar tools, or throwing away years of investment.
With its newest release, the OPTIMUS Design of Experiments (DoE) module can now run across a network of Unix, NT workstations and CRAY supercomputers in parallel. This enables massive productivity benefits by reducing job turn around time to a fraction of today's serial mode. The parallelization is achieved through the interface of OPTIMUS and LSF from Platform Computing Corporation - the world's leading provider of workload management products. LSF is a batch job processing system for distributed and heterogeneous environments, which ensures optimal resource sharing by robust load sharing and sophisticated batch scheduling. The new parallel module provides seamless integration with existing LSF installations, and can be added to any OPTIMUS Rev. 2.1 seat. Turn around improvements of up to 70% have been recorded.
LMS OPTIMUS has become the preferred tool for automated design space exploration and multi-disciplinary design optimization at major companies across different industries. Reference customers include General Motors, Honda, BMW, Opel, Ricardo, Rieter Automotive, Delphi, Philips Research and Oxford Magnet Technologies.
