Description
Adams aids engineers in analyzing the dynamics of moving components and the distribution of loads and forces across mechanical systems. Often, product manufacturers face challenges in grasping the actual performance of their systems until later stages of the design process. While mechanical, electrical, and other subsystems undergo validation in line with their specific requirements during the systems engineering phase, comprehensive testing and validation of the entire system occur too late, resulting in costly and risky rework and design modifications. As the leading and most utilized Multibody Dynamics (MBD) software globally, Adams enhances engineering productivity and lowers product development expenses by facilitating early validation of system-level designs. This allows engineers to assess and manage intricate interactions among various disciplines, such as motion, structures, actuation, and controls, ultimately leading to optimized product designs that prioritize performance, safety, and user comfort. By addressing potential issues earlier in the process, Adams empowers engineers to create more reliable and efficient products.
Description
PDS® is an all-encompassing and advanced computer-aided design and engineering tool. Focused on production efficiency, PDS ensures optimal design outcomes while minimizing the overall installed costs associated with projects. This application not only boosts value and mitigates risk but also maintains the integrity of data throughout the process. Since the mid-1980s, it has been the preferred choice among owner operators and engineering, procurement, and construction firms worldwide for various design initiatives. It features dynamic walkthroughs, enabling operations and maintenance teams to engage with the virtual plant before actual construction begins. Moreover, PDS offers a specification-driven design approach, performing both "hard" and "soft" interference checks, and it generates precise material take-offs. Additionally, it comes equipped with a wealth of customizable reference data that adheres to industry standards, further enhancing its utility in diverse engineering projects.
