What is NEW in VMAP?

VMAP – Scilab Interface

Scilab is seamlessly interfaced to customize your favorite algorithms and extract more out of

the test results.

VMAP Plug-in to HyperWorks

VMAP can now be used as a part of the Altair Licensing System. Get access to all the

advantages of VMAP in the HyperWorks software platform.

Model Updating

Update the finite element simulation model with the damping estimates obtained from VMAP

and analyse the updated simulation models.

Hardware Support

By considering the synergies between VMAP and vibration test hardware, TechPassion

through its successful Hardware Integration Partner (HIP) program works with hardware

manufacturers. We constantly update and provide the latest and most exhaustive list of

supported drivers

Table below lists the different commercially available software packages for performing finite

element analysis and all of these products have a seamless interface with VMAP for data

exchange and interoperability
