LMS Imagine unveils National Instruments LabVIEW Real-Time interface in LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim Rev 8A

Leuven, Belgium – July 16, 2008 – LMS, the engineering innovation company, has integrated an interface for the National Instruments LabVIEW Real-Time module into the latest LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim platform release. This new interface extends the AMESim real-time hardware and software interface portfolio giving the end user more options to control the design process.

With this integrated interface, LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim users will be able to export AMESim models into National Instruments LabVIEW real-time test benches – creating an actual physical system around the AMESim model. Users in the automotive, aerospace and off-highway industries will appreciate this new feature when designing and validating engine control unit (ECU) strategies using hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test benches.

LabVIEW is a graphical programming platform and development environment from National Instruments. LabVIEW applications range from control design and real-time control to graphical interfaces, data management and data acquisition cards for industrial processes.

LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim simulations can be started directly from the LabVIEW program, known as the LabVIEW virtual instrument. Values can be exchanged between the LabVIEW virtual instrument and the AMESim models during the simulation. Common components, such as buttons and other graphic elements, can be used to develop appropriate graphical user interfaces.

“This new real-time interface in Rev 8A takes LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim a step further. It is a simple but powerful way to export a model to real-time targets and lets users take advantage of NI software features such as the LabVIEW Control Design and Simulation module and LabVIEW Real-Time module,” explained Denis Fargeton, Product Development Director at LMS Imagine.

“The new interface makes it easy to transfer complex mechatronic models developed with LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim into the LabVIEW software platform and then deploy these models to National Instrument real-time targets,” commented Javier Gutierrez, Product Marketing Manager at National Instruments.
