Model-based system engineering - integrating modeling and physical testing - is gaining traction in the aerospace industry as a viable means for augmenting the design and testing of components, substructures and full-scale structures. The MTS Aero team is pursuing a spectrum of model-based approaches, including virtual testing, model-assisted compensation and hybrid simulation. In this four-video series, the team explores the promise of virtual testing while demonstrating the power of the MTS tool set.
Video 2: Michael Dembinski - Systems Integration Engineer and Dr. Shawn Gao - Senior Systems Integration Engineer run a square wave to a modeled four-actuator test rig and it's physical counterpart to demonstrate the predictive fidelity of the virtual testing method across an increasing range of PID values.
