test-based engineering software

• The pressure in Noise and Vibration Engineering is enormous; legislation continues to dictate ever tougher noise and vibration limits; marketing wants to maintain core brand values but at reduced cost; customers demand products that are better and more refined. Yet at the same time, the move towards the digital development process means that fewer prototypes are available and must be tested in greater detail. And everything has to happen in less time and with fewer resources. LMS Test.Lab provides the right answers to these challenges.
  
  A complete portfolio
  
  LMS Test.Lab is a complete solution for test-based engineering combining high-speed multichannel data acquisition with a suite of integrated testing, analysis, and report generation tools. It includes solutions for rotating machinery, structural and acoustic testing, environmental testing and vibration control. LMS Test.Lab is designed to make testing more efficient and more convenient for the users. It enables testing departments to increase the volume of test work, and to get a higher return out of existing testing facilities. It allows delivering more reliable results, even when the availability of prototypes is dramatically reduced. It enables an efficient use of testing knowledge within the extended organization.
  
  Built-in productivity
  
  LMS Test.Lab has been developed from scratch to introduce innovative concepts for data acquisition, data interpretation and usability. It builds upon the blistering performance of the LMS SCADAS III data acquisition front-end to create a breakthrough in noise and vibration testing. With its unique workfl ow-based interface, Test.Lab sets new standards for ease-of-use, productivity and data consistency. Extensive customer benchmarks of LMS Test.Lab for modal testing jobs and for typical NVH chassis-dyno testing procedures proved a reduction in total elapsed testing time of 50 to 60%, thus doubling the productivity of the entire test facility.
  
  Better engineering insights
  
  LMS Test.Lab makes testing easier and more productive - without compromizing data consistency. Moreover, it gives better insights through measurement and analysis innovation to support the complete development process. In the near future, test will no longer be a stand-alone activity but a critical enabler of the complete development process: from target setting, through supporting virtual simulation, to final product refinement and qualification.
  
  that make virtual simulation work
  
  Virtual models have no value unless they accurately represent real life. This requires high-quality modeling and loads information. LMS Test.Lab is used to front-load data into the simulation process by testing existing components and benchmarking competitive products for target setting purposes. It is routinely used to provide loading information and feedback to update virtual models. It is systematically used to provide test-derived models of components and sub-assemblies that are too difficult or take too long to model. Combining virtual and test-based models results in faster and more reliable simulation.
