The Durability Alliance formed between Instron® Structural Testing Systems, LMS International, and Kistler Instrumente AG is working together to provide world-class hardware and software solutions for physical testing, virtual prototype simulation and engineering analysis software. The added value delivered through seamless integration and support enables customers to reduce time to market and improve product quality and performance.

This alliance has been driven by close association with our customers which ensures first class integration of the products. LMS and IST have formed joint development teams and an example outcome of this team effort is RS-TWR (Time Waveform Replication Software). Due to this team effort, customers are ensured first class integration of simulation software with damage monitoring and analysis.
