Simulation and modeling validation

In the early stages of product planning and design, the validation of simulations and models is crucial. Our team offers comprehensive services to validate Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Multi-Body Dynamics (MBD) simulation results. We ensure the accuracy of Digital Mock-Ups (DMU) and 3D CAD models compared to real data. Emission models and energy consumption analyses are validated, as are life cycle assessments, thermal analyses and crash and impact simulations. Our expertise also includes the validation of acoustic and vibration analyses, structural integrity, fluid-structure interactions as well as kinematic and dynamic analyses. In addition, we ensure that electromagnetic field simulations are accurate and reliable.

Virtual prototyping and validation of digital twins

Our team provides specialized services to validate virtual prototypes and digital twins to ensure they are accurate and reliable. We integrate real-time data and validate predictive maintenance models and performance monitoring. Through virtual validation of assembly processes and system integrations, we optimize the interaction between subsystems and ensure end-to-end system validation. We perform digital pre-assembly validations and predict system behavior based on scenario tests. Our services also include the validation of FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis), sensor and actuator emulations as well as continuous system improvements and virtual commissioning.

Validating VR/AR and human interaction

In the field of VR/AR and human interaction validation, our team offers end-to-end services to validate VR design reviews and the accuracy of AR prototypes. We improve the user experience through immersive testing and virtual usability testing. Ergonomic simulations and human-machine interface (HMI) validations are also part of our portfolio, as are VR training simulations and AR maintenance guides. We validate user journeys in VR/AR, interaction flows, gesture and voice controls as well as cognitive loads. Our experts ensure that visual and spatial accuracy as well as scenario-based user tests are reliable. In addition, we ensure accessibility and inclusion in VR/AR applications.

Validation of software and hardware integration

Our team offers comprehensive validation services for the integration of software and hardware in the concept phase of your product-service system. We validate software-in-the-loop (SiL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) tests, real-time simulations and embedded systems. The validation of control systems, the virtual integration of embedded software and automated test frameworks are also part of our offering. We ensure the communication of protocols and the integration of IoT components. Cyber-physical systems, sensor data fusion, real-time operating systems (RTOS) and safety-critical software are carefully validated. Our services also include firmware and middleware validation as well as ensuring hardware compatibility.
