Software interfaces MATLAB, analysis, and test.
Press Release Summary:
Facilitating data sharing between MATLAB, analysis tools, and test software, IMAT v2.5 includes IMAT Toolbox, which provides framework for importing FEA simulation data and measured test data into MATLAB environment. With IMAT Toolbox, test and simulation data such as mode shapes, time histories, spectra, and other functions can be viewed and manipulated in MATLAB with all data attributes preserved. Program includes GUI for plotting functions and editing function attributes.
Original Press Release:
ATA Engineering Announces the Release of IMAT v2.5 Interface Between MATLAB®, Analysis, and Test
New functionality, expanded FEA support
SAN DIEGO, Oct. 31 /- ATA Engineering, Inc., (ATA) today announced the release of IMAT version 2.5. This new release of IMAT offers usability enhancements over previous releases and introduces new, advanced features and functionality, in particular when used with Femap, I-deas, and Nastran. Committed to providing new IMAT releases in conjunction with new MATLAB releases, IMAT v2.5 has been designed to work with MATLAB R2008b (7.7) and several prior releases.
IMAT (Interface between MATLAB, Analysis, and Test) is a program that facilitates data sharing between MATLAB, analysis tools, and test software. ATA's IMAT Toolbox provides a framework for easily importing finite element analysis (FEA) simulation data and measured test data into the MATLAB environment to take advantage of its versatile programming and mathematical strengths. With the IMAT Toolbox, test and simulation data such as mode shapes, time histories, spectra, and other functions can be viewed and manipulated in MATLAB with all of the data attributes preserved. IMAT also offers a full-featured GUI (graphical user interface) for plotting functions and editing function attributes. New features include: enhanced line and shaded image plotting capabilities, improved functionality for the reading and writing of analysis models from Femap, Nastran, I-deas, and ABAQUS, and a new licensing mechanism using Sentinel RMS(TM) from SafeNet.
Also available in IMAT v2.5 are vertical application packages. IMAT+Testkit is a collection of utilities designed to aid test engineers in pre- and post-test activities. IMAT+Testkit includes modal (vibration) testing utilities for the selection of optimal accelerometer and exciter locations, the advanced Alias-Free Polyreference curvefitter (AF Poly), and other tools. IMAT+RTK is a utility designed for jet engine and rotating equipment engineers. IMAT+RTK analyzes data and performs order tracking of rotational events using the Vold-Kalman filtering technique.
