Next-Generation RPC Connect

RPC Connect is the latest evolution of MTS' industry-renowned simulation software for vehicle durability testing.

RPC Connect carries forward the decades-long legacy of RPC Pro and cRPC Pro software, while establishing the optimum platform for an evolving arsenal of next-generation simulation tools.

Architected to optimize test lab efficiency, the new RPC Connect platform will improve the operator experience, increase test throughput and support emerging capabilities such as hybrid simulation and Jounce Bumper Impact Correction.

RPC Connect will take its place as the core application software for MTS Road Simulators, Multi-axial Simulation Table (MAST) Systems and many other durability testing solutions for decades to come.
