VIBES Toolbox for MATLAB

The VIBES Toolbox for MATLAB^® offers unique capabilities for test-based modeling, dynamic substructuring, and transfer path analysis. The latest scientific advancements in structural dynamics have been implemented in an easy-to-use toolbox for MATLAB. The toolbox comprises a powerful 3D environment, allowing one to pick and place measurement instrumentation on CAD geometry, animate mode shapes, and more. The object-oriented workflow unlocks a wide range of frequency-based substructuring and transfer path analysis methods, all accessible and adaptable from the command line. Save time by automating repetitive processes in simple scripts and generate plots conveniently using intuitive commands for data selection. Create FEM-compatible "super-elements" from FRF measurements using the virtual point transformation. Combine experimental component models, numerical models, and operational data, realizing a truly hybrid approach to sound and vibration simulation. 

The object-oriented toolbox provides well-designed classes and functions for analysis and simulation of sound and vibrations. All data (time series, FRF spectra, etc.) and metadata (channel description, units, etc.) are kept neatly together, which simplifies and accelerates the process. This object-based data management is the perfect solution to archive, retrieve, and share data with colleagues. For the first time, one has the possibility to perform complex substructuring and TPA operations simply by typing their most basic formulas. The VIBES Toolbox assists along the way with syntax auto-completion and handles all the "bookkeeping" automatically. A CAD-like 3D experience, as well as an audio playback service, are offered to further improve your workflow.

The VIBES Toolbox for MATLAB runs on Windows^® machines with MATLAB R2015b or higher installed.
