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 3: Michael Dembinski - Systems Integration Engineer and Dr. Shawn Gao - Senior Systems Integration Engineer work FlexTest controller hardware into the virtual testing loop to optimize profile times, using AeroPro compensation techniques such as Profile Self Optimization (PSO), Cross-Coupling Compensation (C3) and Model-Assisted Compensation (MAC).
