Visual-Mesh is a complete meshing tool which supports CAD Import, 2D and 3D Meshing and Editing features. Some of the features which work on 'mesh only' will be available in Visual-Crash PAM context.
Visual-Crash PAM (VCP), which is one of the contexts in Visual-Environment, provides PAM-CRASH users with fast iteration and rapid model revision process, from data input to visualization for crashworthiness simulation and design. This environment provides quick model browsing, advanced mesh editing capabilities and rapid graphical assembly of system models. VCP allows graphical creation, modification and deletion of contacts, materials, constraints, control cards and all crash entities. In VCP, you are provided with tools for checking model quality and simulation parameters prior to launching calculations with the Solver. Using these tools helps in correcting errors and fine-tuning the model and simulation before submitting it to a solver, thus saving time and resources.
Visual-Safe is a context in Visual-Environment, dedicated to Safety utilities. High productivity tools such as advanced dummy positioning, seat morphing, belt fitting and airbag folding are provided in this context.
Visual-Safe MAD (VSM) is a complete, efficient and productive CAE environment for multi-body and finite element occupant safety simulations using Madymo. It utilizes the multi-window/multi-model/multi-application environment of Visual-Environment very efficiently. It provides complete flexibility of working for both the experienced and the novice Madymo users alike. It incorporates a vast database of customer requirements and feedback gathered over a decade.
Visual-Medysa guides PAM-MEDYSA 2G users in building system models for design optimization and performance validation of complex mechanical systems. Mechanical systems such as engine, tires, chassis, suspensions, and machinery transmissions, can be modeled with ease in this environment.
