Robobat are pleased to announce the launch of ROBOT Millennium Freeware to a wide variety of markets and countries - ROBOT Millennium Freeware is a variant of the world renowned ROBOT Millennium software.

Registration is a simple process after which Robobat will send the user a password to use the software. ROBOT Millennium Freeware is a powerful application that will allow users to analyze:

• 2D and 3D multi material frame structures with up to 200 members
• FE plates and shells - walls, floors and surfaces with up to 500 nodes
• Section libraries from around the world
• Access to the ROBOT API to allow users to integrate their own applications
• Bi-directional link to Revit Structure
• Linear analysis, English language support
• In fact ROBOT Millennium Freeware will provide a solution for the engineer to carry out much of their everyday analysis work.

Commenting on the launch of ROBOT Millennium Freeware, Gary Wyatt, Sales & Marketing Director of Robobat, commented: "We are pleased to offer this free solution to Engineers and we know that they will make great practical use of this powerful application. When we were formulating our plans for ROBOT Millennium Freeware it was our goal to produce something highly relevant to the engineers work, not just a gimmick version or short term evaluation or money refunded if not satisfied offer, but rather a real, powerful piece of software for real projects. And that is what we have delivered with ROBOT Millennium Freeware.

Naturally our hope is that satisfied users will then wish to explore additional aspects of ROBOT Millennium not covered by the freeware, such as multi code steel and concrete design, advanced FE analysis, cables, P-Delta, non linear and dynamic analysis - the upgrade to various commercial versions of ROBOT Millennium will be available to freeware users with an attractive pricing policy".

Robobat reserves its non-disputable right to issue the freeware license at its own discretion.

Activate ROBOT Millennium Freeware  To install ROBOT Millennium Freeware you must have full administrator privileges. If you did not have the full administrator privileges (on network PC, typically IT personnel has those rights only), the software will not work.

Please also note that ROBOT Millennium Freeware SPS license is not transferable from one PC to another.

Vendor description: xPSD is a tool that allows user to take the results of a standard modal analysis and conduct fast, flexible studies on the behavior of the structure under loading. Works with the latest version of the ANSYS general-purpose FE code.

xPSD uses the 'large mass method' to capture the modal response of a system to random vibration, expressed in terms of a 'Power Spectral Density' (PSD) input. The user can quickly specify many different PSD input curves and extract the response of the system. The goal of the tool is to provide a simple, but fast and accurate way for users to carry out PSD analyses.

Features:

• Supports single base excitation
• Utilizes a standard modal analysis (with large mass) as input
• Stores modal information in efficient binary file that is an order of magnitude smaller than the equivalent .RST modal result file 
• User can request displacement, velocity, acceleration, or component stress response at any node
• User can request '1-sigma' displacement, velocity, acceleration, or component stress information for the entire model, or for sub-components of the model
• Response curves can be output for display in ANSYS or a spreadsheet
• '1-sigma' results can be output for contour display in ANSYS
• Entire process can be run from within ANSYS, interactively or in batch mode
• Input PSD and output request controlled by simple text file

There are plenty of utilities that will convert a plot file to G-Code but this one is novel in that it converts a scanned image of a drawing into G-Code without the need to vectorise or trace anything. The whole process is done by hardware & software. The steps required are:

1. Scan the drawing
2. Load the scan into a graphics program such as Corel
3. Print the drawing specifying the Epson LX80 dot matrix printer.
4. Print to File (so you do not need to have that old fashioned printer, just the driver which comes with Windows).
5. Process the print file through Scan2CNC which will translate the printer file into G-Code. The toolpath will replicate the printer file so it will be raster cuts in the x direction with y axis step overs between cuts.

You can scale & manipulate the image in Corel if you wish & the print file can be scaled as it is translated into G-Code.

Utilities included in this package:

• PADDER which inserts blank spaces between the elements of a line of G-Code. N24G01X12.357Y-8.278Z-4.50F300. becomes: N24 G01 X12.357 Y-8.278 Z-4.50 F300.
• WRAPPER which wraps a normal planar toolpath around a cylinder so that XYZ becomes XAZ. You specify the relationship between y movement and A axis rotation.
• LIFTER. It lifts a toolpath off the XY plane onto the YZ plane. This is needed if you have a normal 3-D CAD/CAM program and a right angle adapter for your VMC.
• RELATER. This converts a Fanuc Absolute (G90) file to a Relative (G91) file. This is often needed when a file uses calls to subroutines.

These utilities are freeware and the Clarion 2.1 source code is included. Help is built into the program, sample scan files & a text file explaining how to use the program are included.

Vendor Description: Fedem Free Edition is a limited version of The Fedem Simulation Software R4.2.

The Fedem Simulation Software provides both a technology platform and an engineering framework for virtual testing of complex mechanical assemblies with very high result accuracy and an efficient workflow. This is typically required for product verification or virtual sign-off purposes in a professional industrial engineering environment. In such applications, where expensive and time consuming full scale physical testing is the only alternative, it is necessary for the engineers to quickly and easily obtain accurate information on both dynamic and structural properties of a mechanical design. Also, to ensure sufficient accuracy, the simulation solver must account for the mutual dependencies between dynamic properties at the system level and structural flexibility at the component level. These requirements can only be efficiently satisfied through a non-linear structural dynamics approach.

In Fedem, a non-linear structural dynamics approach is utilized in order to simultaneously solve structural deformations and 3D motion dynamics in the time domain.

Integrated and efficient workflow.

Finite element models are imported from NASTRAN bulk data deck files ensuring compatibility with FE meshing tools.

Mechanism drive functions can be linked with external data files in MTS RPC III/Pro, nCode DAC or ASCII format. Simulations driven with such external data can be switched from one event to another simply by changing a file reference. Simulation results can be exported in MTS RPC III/Pro, nCode DAC or ASCII format files.

Durability assessment with nCode.

Multi-event duty cycle analysis.

The full version of Fedem is a flexible multibody dynamics package, while the Free Edition leaves out the flexibility options, phone and mail support and a few other options.

Vendor description: FRT is a plug-in application for Pro/E Wildfire 4.0, design engineers have a comprehensive set of tools to selectively replace geometries representing features in imported solid boundary representation models (IGES, STEP, etc) with true parametric features.

FRT enables design engineers to build design intelligence into imported models for easy, predictable changes. For example, a user can replace hole geometry with a hole feature and use it down-stream for assembly, detailing, and manufacturing. The non-modifiable static geometry is replaced with a fully editable hole feature. FRT can even recognize and place patterns of features.

Capabilities:

• Identify and replace static geometry with feature rich content.
  • Simple or sketched holes on flat or curved surfaces
  • Protrusions or pockets on flat or curved surfaces
  • Extruded slots
  • Constant radius rounds
  • Chamfers
  • Table pattern for holes
• Easy – to – use action/object approach
  • Select the desired feature search tool
  • Then select the surface or edge to start the search from
  • Have constant visual feedback during feature creation

Benefits:

• Facilitate down-stream re-use of imported models
• Rebuild flexibility into imported designs from a single, familiar modeling environment
• Increased efficiency over remastering 3D imported designs by hand
