Dresden, Germany 29 January 2010 – ITI, international innovation leader in virtual system engineering, today announces the release of the latest version of SimulationX, the software standard for physical modeling of mechatronics systems. Version 3.3 provides numerous functional enhancements and will be available with on demand software licensing for the first time. With the new release ITI again lives up to its name of developing the best simulation tools in terms of handling, intuition and reliability. The palette of ready-to-use, real-time capable models and physical components was expanded by ten percent. Highlight of the new release is the first independent SimulationX Modelica Edition. The all-in-one installation package simplifies the installation process by installing all required program components via a single setup automatically according to the user’s particular needs and profile.
SimulationX 3.3 is easily adjusted to the different profiles of users and is now available in two editions, SimulationX Professional Edition and SimulationX Modelica edition. With the Modelica edition, Modelica experts can now design and exchange individual models by using Modelica language inside SimulationX. Users benefit from the remarkable combination of the most user friendly simulation software with the flexibility and formalism of a true Modelica platform. Delivering this new edition quickly to the market, ITI has responded to the growing demand for an open standard for exchanging models. Manufacturers, OEMs and service providers can now design, exchange and re-use simulation models.
The even more convenient program handling safeguards the overview of the complete model even during later changes and enhancements. Thanks to manually editable connections between model components and highlights in colors for dynamic visualizations, the user can immediately detect changes in the model. Quality of models and reliability of modeling results are increased while time for validation is reduced as, for instance, deviations from admissible values are observable at a glance. Another enhancement in ergonomics is achieved by additional views: The structure view and 3D model view are enhanced with additions of documentation and text view, enabling models to be changed and enhanced directly in the Modelica text format.
