ATA|Suite is a collection of ATA Engineering, Inc. (ATA) software programs that are available using a single license server and a shared token pool.

ATA|Suite performs multiple tasks from test to analysis; including: data acquisition, test data visualization, test data analysis, post-processing scripting, methodology development, and test-analysis correlation of finite element models.

o    PressMap is a pressure data interpolator from a CFD model to an I-deas® or NASTRAN FE model. PressMap takes data on discrete points over the surface of a structure and maps this data onto an I-deas or NASTRAN structural model. The geometry of the structural model is used to determine how the interpolation of the data is to be performed.

o    ROTATE, previously a Vold Solutions product, ROTATE post-processes test data for high-precision extraction of harmonics, orders, resonances and transients in complex operating data. ROTATE’s unique diagnostic graphics and torsional vibration de-coding algorithms are used daily by engineers ranging from rotating machinery maintenance specialists, to gas turbine makers, and Formula One and NASCAR racing teams.

o    IMAT is a suite of utilities offered by ATA which facilitates data sharing between MATLAB, analysis, and test. The IMAT Toolbox provides a framework for easily importing FEA simulation data and measured test data into the MATLAB environment to access its versatile programming and mathematical strengths. With the IMAT Toolbox, simulation data such as mode shapes, time histories, spectra, and other functions can be viewed and manipulated in MATLAB with all of the data attributes preserved. Test data support includes MTS and LMS systems that store data in test universal file format. Functions created in MATLAB can also be exported to the test and simulation data formats.  All IMAT family products are available in ATA|Suite.

o    Attune is a stand-alone highly automated test-analysis correlation and model updating software tool which combines more than 25 years of experience in this field into a user-friendly, flexible, MATLAB®-based toolkit. By automating the correlation process and providing a suite of leading-edge optimization tools, Attune provides the user with a powerful, efficient method of generating accurate test-verified finite element models.

o    More products will be added as they are developed

o    The token-based licensing for ATA|Suite is actually quite simple.  Each program uses a different number of tokens. When users purchase ATA|Suite products, they purchase a certain number of tokens that reside in a token pool. When a particular program is started, that program checks out tokens. When the user exits the program, the tokens are checked back into the pool.

o    Assume a particular user purchases 5 tokens for ATA|Suite products.  The basic version of Rotate uses 4 tokens, Attune uses 8 tokens, PressMap uses 2 tokens, and the basic version of IMAT uses 1 token. That user can now run Rotate and IMAT concurrently. The user cannot run Attune because there are not enough tokens available, nor can the user run PressMap and Rotate concurrently because there are not enough combined tokens to run both.  However, if 8 tokens are purchased, the user may choose to run Attune or Rotate, Pressmap, and IMAT concurrently.
