(August 16, 2011) We are pleased to announce AMPS 6.6 with Sefea™ is now available for download after nearly a year of rigorous beta testing. Sefea™, Strain-Enriched Finite Element Analysis, is truly breakthrough FEM technology, utilizing automatic generated low-order tetrahedron elements to achieve results virtually equivalent to legacy methods employing large numbers of 2nd-order tetra or brick elements. “In our benchmark AMPS 6.6 with Sefea™ produced results virtually equivalent to the 2nd or higher order element results - yet with only 20% or fewer amount of the nodes. And because of the lower-order interpolation field, it does not produce oscillatory local results like 2nd-order family elements, and needing no hourglass mode controls such as the popular low-order brick elements. The simple low-order tetrahedral elements are also much more stable in dynamics, contact and impact simulations without the typical 2nd-order side-node vibrations noise. It is also insensitive to tetra/triangle mesh distortion and has a high convergence rate.” Dr. Michael L. Blake, Chief Technology Officer, AMPS Technologies Co.
Not only does this make design simulation easier to use with the robust automatic tetra mesher inside AMPS, they solve faster and are more realistic than ever before. AMPS 6.6 also contains many new features: The latest multithread finite element engine now uses a proprietary “lock free” thread pool technology which pushes all cores in all CPUs to the system’s limit. The refined mesh generation now will handle large assembly parts with automatic material boundary preservation, meshing consistency, and parts interference checking and repair. These enhanced features, along with Sefea™ technologies, help the AMPS users cut down the analysis time and efforts, and speed up product design cycles and trim the total product costs. (July 9, 2010) We are pleased to announce the release of the Kubotek KeyCreator to AMPS translator add-in module. The add-in CDE module will easily export the existing KeyCreator models to AMPS, and KeyCreator users can immediately take advantage of AMPS advanced nonlinear and multi-physics analysis features. For details, please contact support@ampstech.com. (January 26, 2009) We are pleased to announce that AMPS 5.2 has been released on AMPS Tech web site and can be downloaded immediately for customer with an active maintenance agreement. Details of the enhancement and update can be found on the support page.. (June 2007) Professor Wang and his research team of the University of Pittsburgh MechanoBiology Laboratory will present an application using AMPS at the 9th USNCCM (US National Congress on Computational Mechanics). Details of the paper can be found in the registered user section. (July 2006) Two papers based on AMPS technologies are presented at 7th WCCM (World Congresss on Computational Mechanics). Details of these papers can be download from the registed user section
(Jan 2006) AMPS Technologies was selected as one of the Emerging Technology Companies Pavilion, and participated in daratechSUMMIT2006..."We've searched the globe for new, exciting technologies and solutions from startups, emerging companies, and others and have selected the most promising of these and are bringing them to daratechSUMMIT2006!" (April 2005) Two papers based on AMPS have been accepted for presentation at USNCCM8 (the Eighth U.S. National Congress on Computational Mechanics).
