Air Bearing Dynamic Simulator

Current Release:	4.4
Release Date:	May 2007 (Updated October 8, 2007)
Files:	CML Dynamic Simulator Version 4.4 Includes CML Reduction Program and example case. CML Reduction Program
Manual:	Included in zip files
Description:	The new CML Dynamic simulator is different from its predecessor in the following ways: Addiction of an accurate reduced order finite element suspension. We've moved from a three degree of freedom slider model to a six degree of freedom slider model. Users can now enter a 2-D point by point disk topography. Previous versions of the simulator allowed the input of a 1-D point by point disk topography.

Current Release: 5.1

Release Date: July 2006 (updated: 10/8/07)

Files: Load Unload Simulator Version 5.1 (CML_DLULS.zip)

Manual: The CML Dynamic Load/Unload/Shock Simulator (version 5.1)

Description: Determines dynamic flying characteristics of arbitrary rail shapes under user specified run conditions. Simulates take-off, landing, CSS, track-seek, crash stop, and more. Incorporates contact model and disk texture capability.

New features for this release include:

Finite element modeling for the suspension
Modeling of user defined ramp profiles
Simulation of shock and vibration
Improved elastic impact modeling
Inclusion of intermolecular forces

Update (10/7/07): The simulator can now support grid sizes up to 994x994 and up to 200 points in each rail
