SMT has released MASTA 11 transmission development software. Packed with new and updated functionality, the latest offering of the software aims to revolutionize users’ CAE experience. MASTA 11 introduces brand-new modeling and analysis capabilities to keep you at the forefront of an industry forever pushing its own boundaries. From traditional heavy industry to cutting edge electrified propulsion and robotics, MASTA 11 covers any transmission application.
Key features include:
Palette Modeling: MASTA has long gained critical acclaim for its user-friendly operation and speed and ease of modeling. MASTA 11’s new component palette serves to further simplify this process with a revolutionary new drag-and-drop modeling system.
SpaceClaim CAD Link: Introduces game-changing functionality, providing engineers with the ability to pass data from CAD to MASTA with zero intermediary steps. MASTA can now link directly with ANSYS SpaceClaim, actively exchanging geometry at the click of a button and linking it to MASTA components using brand-new and in-built meshing capabilities. These same abilities are also used by the new STL Import tool. Simply import an STL format geometry file, mesh, and connect to your transmission model. All without leaving MASTA.
Asymmetric Gears: These gears are an innovative advancement in gear technology showing various advantages over conventional symmetric gears where gear flanks are unevenly loaded. SMT introduces asymmetric gear modeling, analysis, and optimization into MASTA.
Advanced Time Stepping Analysis for Modulation (ATSAM): The simulation of modulated dynamic response is an issue experienced by NVH engineers the world over and has previously gone unresolved without expensive and time-consuming MBD simulations. MASTA 11 can help, with the introduction of ATSAM. Retaining MASTA’s trademark simulation speed and results accuracy, MASTA 11 reveals a previously unseen level of detail in frequency domain NVH simulations.
Cycloidal Drives: Cycloidal drives are rapidly being adopted into a wide variety of transmission applications beyond their traditional robotic roots. MASTA 11 continues to keep users at the cutting edge of this emerging technology with cycloidal drive modeling and simulation.
SMT’s services and products focus on the complete design, analysis and optimization of driveline systems, from individual components through to intricate transmission designs. SMT’s flagship software, MASTA, is a complete driveline development package. It is regularly used by leading transmission engineers for accurate and rapid system design, prediction of performance characteristics, identification of potential failure modes and to undertake full-system (including time-domain MBD) simulations for any gearbox layout.
