Model-Based Development

Virtual Systems

Integration

We combine systems engineering with modeling and simulation, creating the right model for each phase of the V process. This way, we optimize systems, validate concepts, integrate and test systems virtually, identifying errors in requirements before the actual products have been built.

Life Cycle Costs

In complex projects, such as those in the oil and gas, automotive and aeronautical industries, decisions that will affect the whole project are made in early design phases, where there is a lack of information. For example, although only 20% of the project costs have been incurred by the end of the design phase, about 80% of the costs have already been committed. Furthermore, the cost to fix a defect increases exponentially with each new project phase. With Virtual Systems Integration, we anticipate the discovery of errors, mitigating risks and substantially reducing the overall project life cycle costs.

Large Scale Simulation

From specification and design models used for validating requirements and automatic code generation, to engineering flight simulators and Hardware-In-the-Loop, we apply model-based techniques, creating large-scale simulation models in Matlab/Simulink to continuously integrate and test the systems under development.

Model-Based Design

Fly-by-Wire Flight Controls, Avionics or Brake Systems, we apply model-based design to generate code automatically from Matlab/Simulink models in compliance with aeronautical standards such as DO-178 and DO-331. Furthermore, we accelerate your aeronautical, automotive or oil and gas embedded software project with the SimStorm Embedded Software Matlab/Simulink Model Library.
