March 24, 2011 - HBM announced version 7 of nCode Automation, a scalable environment for engineering test data storage, analysis and reporting. nCode Automation 7 provides interactive reporting capabilities for even easier access to key information from test data. Reporting in nCode Automation has been enhanced in this release with new graphical elements to enable interactive reports. These reports make it possible for users to view data graphically and reveal further detail by a simple drilldown to other reports, creating a dashboard summary of key engineering data. This added capability can be applied wherever there are large amounts of engineering test data to be explored.
Typical applications include fleets of test vehicles or aircraft in operational service. Color-coded “Matrix Reports” in version 7 display key engineering data. Each Matrix Report employs a grid-like display, which allows data to be easily visualized and enables further reports to be run to display or calculate new data as required. Additional graphical elements permit filtering of results, generation of new reports, or the review of raw data. This new capability in nCode Automation provides a fully immersive environment for exploring and learning from the available data.
Version 7 also introduces ”Distributed Application Servers”, which makes it possible to perform analysis tasks across multiple computers, allowing more advanced load balancing configurations and therefore increased scalability and performance. nCode Automation is available in three editions. Personal Edition is for an individual user and applied to local data; Workgroup Edition is for a single department or company site; Enterprise Edition is used where multi-site or global data access is required. Automation PE is fully integrable with, and is an ideal add-on for, nCode GlyphWorks and nCode DesignLife. Workgroup and Enterprise systems provide secure web-based access from anywhere, increasing collaboration and the transfer of engineering knowledge.
