New features include additional advanced meshing tools that allow engineers to quickly develop meshes on complex surfaces, as well as a new capability to import and export basic ANSYS model formats.

Tim Palmer commented, "eta/VPG offers five dynamic and powerful modules which are currently being used in a variety of industries world-wide. These modules allow users to access the many capabilities of the LS-DYNA simulation software, in an environment tailored to their industry."

eta/VPG's commanding PrePost module boasts the most advanced modeling tools available, allowing the user to create complex finite element models faster than ever before.

It offers an advanced toolset, outstanding auto-meshing tools and automated spotweld generation-within a zero text editing environment.

For mechanical system analysis, the eta/VPG/Structure module includes tools to stimulate road surfaces and tire models, as well as analyze vehicle dynamics, system and component durability and noise vibration and harshness (NVH) using LS-DYNA.

The eta/VPG/Safety module is used extensively in the automotive industry for the modeling of vehicle impact analysis with a complete crash tool library, allowing for accurate vehicle impact, occupant safety and airbag simulations.

The Drop Test and ALE/FSI modules complete the vertical application tools within eta/VPG. The drop test functions are used for consumer electronics quality and packaging analysis.

The ALE/FSI module is used primarily in military applications for the simulation of blasts and development of blast resistant vehicles.
