Description

Femto is a MATLAB 6-DoF modeling framework for 0D/1D mechanical systems, focused on seismic isolation design, analysis and optimisation specifically designed for gravitational-wave detector like suspensions. This poster will highlight examples of applied use-cases, benchmarks and features.

Some applied use cases

  • Omnisense - Nikhef/VU
  • Conceptual Suspension Design for Einstein Telescope LF - Nikhef
  • Suspension Design for ETpathfinder - Nikhef
  • Conceptual Suspension Design for CAOS - INFN
  • Sub mK, low vibration quantum mechanisms test environment - Leiden University
  • TorPeDO - Australian National University

Some Features

  • Quick code based object generation and assembly
  • Graphical User Interface with 3D mode shape visualisation
  • Automatic state-space generation for control purposes
  • Actuators and Sensors can be added intuitively
  • Smart Model Reduction techniques
  • Build for efficient parameter optimisation
