Why Simcenter Testlab RT?

In today’s fast-paced marketplace, businesses face significant challenges such as rapidly evolving customer demands, increasing product complexity and rising development costs. Traditional physical prototyping is no longer sufficient to keep up, especially as the number of product variants grows, making physical testing impractical or impossible. To address these challenges, many businesses are adopting innovative solutions that combine physical and virtual (physical-virtual) systems to test and validate designs in real-time, ensuring seamless interaction between the two domains.

Simcenter Testlab RT helps you test and experience physical-virtual systems in real-time in the lab or in the office with powerful real-time hardware and software platforms.

System-in-the-loop testing – a revolution for vehicle integration

Learn how system-in-the-loop testing de-risks subsystem integration and connects the product development stages by fusing the worlds of simulation and testing.

Integrate the virtual and real systems

Use the X-in-the-loop (XiL) approach to integrate virtual components with physical components for comprehensive system testing.

A holistic approach for testing complex systems

Connect physical test specimens to a virtual system that simulate in real-time to replicate real-world scenarios and minimize integration risks. Quickly adapt to various system configurations and complexities.

Accelerated development

Shift the focus of performance testing from the full physical system to a physical-virtual systems. XiL enables earlier performance evaluation and provides realistic testing in a controlled environment.

Applications for Simcenter Testlab RT

Select...

Early testing of mechatronic systems using physical-virtual integration

Verifying complex products with limited prototypes is difficult. Traditional test benches lack real-world accuracy. With Simcenter physical-virtual testing, you can blend physical rigs and real-time co-simulation, letting you validate and pre-certify subsystems like electric drives or brakes without a full prototype. This method efficiently tests various scenarios and design variants in realistic environments.

Test in real-time

Real-time means that all computations executed by Simcenter Testlab RT are done based on reliable time periods and with microsecond precision. This enables you to accurately combine real-time simulation and real-world physics for systems testing allowing you to virtualize operational environments of the physical system under test (SUT).

Connect the real world to the virtual world

Seamlessly interface physical systems and their virtual systems by leveraging analog and digital communication real-time interfaces. You can interface virtual systems to simulators, test bench environments and embedded control units. In addition, gain invaluable insights into system behavior by monitoring, acquiring and analyzing the physical and virtual sensors of the system-under-test in real-time.

Real-time co-simulation

Simcenter Testlab RT orchestrates the co-simulation of physical and virtual subsystems in real-time. This is provided in a zero-programming environment. The simulation models that are part of the co-simulation can originate from Siemens solutions (Simcenter Amesim, Simcenter Smart Virtual Sensing) and other vendors. These models must be compatible with real-time and be exported for Simcenter Testlab RT as real-time target. The co-simulation performance is optimized to cover from the simplest use-cases, involving one digital twin and its communication to the real world, to the most advanced use-cases involving multiple digital twins interacting with each other and with multiple physical systems.
