Virtual testing

Alternatives, such as virtual tests, for costly physical test campaigns?
To simulate your test article in its test setup with realistic boundary conditions and loads?
To evaluate the influence of a manufacturing defect on the performance of your part?
To evaluate the influence of variations in the test setup on the test results?
Support with the certification of your component?

Virtual testing methods to reduce costs and risks associated with physical testing.
Modelling capabilities for metal and composite test articles in their test setup.
Testing facilities such as test machines for coupon testing and (customized) test rigs for panel, component and full scale testing.
Manufacturing facilities such a pilot plant with an automated fibre placement machine, resin transfer moulding machine, heated press, autoclave, braiding machine, pick and place robot and many more.
Collaborative environment for simulation, manufacturing and testing teams.
Knowledge of testing procedures with their strengths and weaknesses.
Analytical, numerical and experimental methods to investigate the effect of a defect like fibre waviness on the stiffness and strength of a composite material.
Non Destructive Inspection (NDI) methods to inspect test articles on manufacturing defects from coupon to component level as input for virtual testing.
Optical 3D deformation measurement during physical test for correlation with virtual test.
