Machine Learning Micro Geometry Optimiser
- At SMT we are leveraging machine learning techniques to create bespoke targeted solutions which enhance our customers workflows, with no need for the user to have AI expertise.
- New AI based optimiser that uses machine learning to achieve efficient and effective improvements to gear micro geometry.
- Specialised to micro geometry optimisation through user-defined targets and constraints spanning multiple operating conditions spanning noise, durability, and efficiency.
Network Databases
- Easy and consistent sharing of data between users and models.
- Be confident that multiple users within an organisation are using the same items or properties.
- Functionality includes item version control, history and administrator approval for changes.
CAD Export with Micro Geometry
- 3D CAD exported from MASTA can now include micro geometry.
- Can be used to directly prototype gears using various processes, for example 5 axis CNC machining, moulding, sintering, 3D printing and more.
- 3D CAD exported from MASTA can be used in other analyses and workflows.
Scripted Efficiency Calculations for Components
- Directly implement bespoke or confidential efficiency calculations into MASTA via MASTA scripting in languages such as python and .NET.
- Efficiently integrate custom property results within MASTA reports.
- Now available for many MASTA components including shafts, rolling bearings, all gear types and more.
NVH – Transfer Path Analysis
- Achieve better NVH performance through deeper understanding of system dynamics.
- Identify key transfer paths in an intuitive user interface, directly in MASTA.
- Use TPA results to inform dynamic optimisation by identifying and targeting opportunities for NVH improvement.
Geometry Modeller Improvements
- Pass multiple CAD bodies into FE mode together.
- Create FE mesh connections in MASTA’s FE mode.
Thermal Analysis of Electric Machines
- Enables the thermal performance of the electric machine to be obtained without the need for third party analysis tools.
- Electromagnetic, Mechanical and Thermal models of an electric machine can be included in one MASTA model.
- Combines the speed of lumped network models with the accuracy of finite element models.
Wound Field Synchronous Analysis
- Wound Field Synchronous Machines (also known as Electrically Excited Synchronous Machines) can be analysed in MASTA’s Electric Machines analysis.
