DIEGO, CA, May 27, 2009 -- ATA Engineering, Inc. today announced the
release of version 2.0 of Attune™, the latest in its Attune
Toolbox software. Attune v2.0 offers major usability enhancements
over previous releases, as well as advanced features and functions.
Attune is a highly automated
test-analysis correlation and model updating software tool which
combines more than 30 years of experience in this field into a
user-friendly, flexible, MATLAB®-based toolkit. By automating the
correlation process and providing a suite of leading-edge optimization
tools, Attune provides the user with a powerful, efficient method of
generating accurate test-verified finite element models.
Attune v2.0 includes a variety of key
enhancements. Attune now provides shape visualization and node mapping,
displaying finite element models and mode shapes for small to medium
models. Additionally, much tighter integration with Nastran has been
achieved, from reading bulk data to creating design variables to
directly updating bulk data. A major innovation is the new
configuration building form that allows the user to identify all of the
files that make up a configuration. Once a configuration is defined,
the user can reload it at any time, even after the associated files
have been changed. The overall optimization performance of Attune has
been improved, and the user has more options to control the objective
function. The user will appreciate the overall ease of use and improved
documentation.
Attune is directly compatible with NX
Nastran, MSC.Nastran®, ABAQUS®, I-deas® NX, B&K Test
for I-deas® software, and universal data sets. Attune users with
current software maintenance on their perpetual licenses, or with eight
or more VibraSuite or ATA|Suite tokens can update their software for
free. Just contact ATA Engineering for the instructions.
