SIMTEST
Multiaxis Simulation
Control Software
SIMTEST brings robust multiaxis simulation control capabilities to
the PC environment. SIMTEST provides an affordable, user friendly
solution for replicating durability and validation events in the test
laboratory.
New Version 3.3 Features Include:
- New Matrix Based Data Viewer
- Built In Trend Analysis Module
- New Global Simulation Control Algorithms
- OEMTrend ActiveX Component Option
- New White Noise Generation Features
- New Project Editor
- New OEM File Format Support

- Much More…
Process Friendly
Interface
 |
SIMTEST provides a process-oriented
interface that makes creating simulator drive files a snap. The
intuitive Process Panel guides the user through the drive file
development process using simple buttons that reduce each task
to a single click. |
- A single click generates a complete set of system model
components for control and analysis. One more click brings up
model components in the matrix display of the Data Viewer.
- Another click generates a new drive file complete with automatic
statistics display and control system automation.
Built-In Trend Analysis provides on-going test monitoring with a
comprehensive set of tracking and display functions.
Matrix Based Data Viewer
The SIMTEST Data Viewer is optimized for displaying simulation test
data. System model components are displayed in a unique matrix view
that assists in interpretation and troubleshooting. Time histories are
displayed using an enhanced Strip Chart tool.
Key features include:
- Multiple function overlays.
- Expansion of channels or matrix elements.
- Cursor points with automatic labels.
- Axis scale and grid options.
- Axis zoom (constrained and synchronized).
- Plot editing tools for figure customization.
- Save figures in JPEG and PNG formats.
- Copy figures in WMF and bitmap formats.
State-of-the-Art Control
Algorithms
SIMTEST incorporates award winning state-of-the-art control
algorithms for replicating field events. Since inventing global
simulation (a.k.a. non-square matrix control) in 1990, we have
continued to advance the state-of-the art for multiaxis simulation
control.
SIMTEST v3.3 includes our new exclusive Robust Generalized Inverse
(RGI) control model algorithm that automatically adjusts the control
matrix to accommodate global transducer sets with no extra steps
required!
From single channel tests to MAST tables through
full vehicle simulators, SIMTEST continues to set the standard for
accurate and easy to use control software.
Comprehensive
Results Analysis
- Choose
from nine different error analysis and simulation convergence
displays. A single click accumulates, analyzes, and displays the
results in the selected format.
- Displays provide automatic overlays of convergence results in
the time or frequency domain.
Analysis results are automatically exported in
ASCII format for simple incorporation into test documents.

Methods Development
SIMTEST includes the SIMTEST Toolbox development library. SIMTEST
Toolbox contains a complete set of high-level signal processing and
vibration control functions specifically developed for multiaxis
simulation testing. You can easily customize SIMTEST and/or build your
own data analysis and control procedures using the versatile MATLAB
technical computing environment.
Control System Integration
SIMTEST provides several unique features for seamless integration
with your control system hardware.
Automatic File Conversion
Drive and response files are automatically converted to and from
common OEM formats using the AutoFile feature.
Automatic File Replay and Acquisition
OEM drive and response control programs can be initiated using a
simple user programmable AutoPlay function.
