VMAP

What is VMAP?

VMAP is a comprehensive software tool for vibration testing in real-world engineering systems that seamlessly connects virtual simulation and physical testing.

The Vibration Measurement and Analysis Package (VMAP) represents the convergence of virtual prototyping and prototype testing. There are several parameters that cannot be precisely modeled on existing virtual prototyping tools and rely on experimental methods. VMAP fills this gap between virtual prototyping and experimentation in the product design cycle, especially in the development of automotive, aerospace, and energy systems. The system significantly improves the productivity of product design teams, not only by cutting costs and development time, but also intangibles associated with design inaccuracies.

VMAP is a versatile software platform powered by accurate and efficient algorithms, user-friendly interfaces, rich and fast graphics, and supports industry-standard file formats.
