New Release 2025.1 out now!

Our new release 2025.1 offers many refinements in usability and visualisation. Our EHD and TEHD bearing simulation has been further improved for flexibility and stability. Additional force couplings enhance modeling capabilities.

Highlights of the new release:

Configuration:

New configuration tool xconfig for windows and linux

• Improved settings for external programs (FEM, animator)

• Enables selection of GUI fonts

FIRST multi body simulation:

• Hydrodynamic bearing simulation

  • Optional centrifugal forces on fluid film in all bearing metrics

  • Optional suppression of hydrodynamic effects for very small gaps in asperity contacts

  • Additional refinement for defining temperature boundary conditions

  • Enabling prescribed initial film thickness for mass conserving partial fill simulation

• Interface to include MESYS roller bearing models in FIRST simulations

• New force coupling for electromagnetic forces for the simulation of electric motors or generators

Job handling and preprocessing using XPre:

• Start animator visualisation directly from xpre (Windows only)

• Improved 'plug-and-play' when exchanging bodies in existing models

• Improved interface for creation of animations

  
  

Postprocessing using XPost and animator:

• Enable vectors to represent the oil velocity in animator

• Improvements in handling rigid-body motion and scaling for animations
