1D Multi-Domain System Simulation
LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim, the integrated platform for 1D multi-domain system simulation
LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim offers a complete 1D simulation platform to model and analyze multi-domain, intelligent
systems and to predict their multi-disciplinary performance. The components of the model are described by
analytical models representing the hydraulic, pneumatic, electric or mechanical behavior of the system.
To create the system simulation model in LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim, the user can make use of a large set of
validated libraries of pre-defined components from different physical domains. The software creates a physics
based model of the system, which doesn’t require a full 3D geometry representation. This approach gives LMS Imagine.Lab
AMESim the capability to simulate the behavior of intelligent systems long before detailed CAD geometry becomes available.

AMESim
The AMESim interactive graphical interface enables users to build complex, multi-domain system models.
The resulting sketch is easily understandable and offers a logic representation of the system model under
investigation. AMESim is based on a validated collection of components issued from different physical domains.
AMESim focuses on physics-based building blocks, frees users from all numerical model creation and code writing
tasks, and gives direct access to the analysis and the optimization of the design. |

AMESet
AMESet provides a comprehensive graphical user interface allowing users to extend AMESim libraries of components.
AMESet is designed to assist users in writing well-documented, standardized, reusable and easily maintainable
libraries. By following simple rules, component models will be fully compatible with the existing AMESim models
and automatically usable on each supported platform. |

AMERun
AMERun is the ideal tool for engineers, technicians or sales persons who want to rapidly run and visualize
different design scenarios. This run-only version of AMESim offers all the features available in the standard
AMESim environment for setting model parameters and performing simulation and analysis. With AMERun, engineers
can share their validated, tested and customized AMESim models with non-experts to analyze and visualize
different design alternatives. |
AMESim Libraries:
To create the system simulation model in LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim, the user can make use of a large set of validated
libraries of pre-defined components from different physical domains. The large set of libraries eliminates the need
for extensive code writing and enables development teams to make complex system models that cover multiple physical domains.
The AMESim libraries therefore accelerate model creation and free up time to optimize designs. The library components
are all completely validated and guarantee the accuracy and the reliability of simulation results.
