Rapid Prototyping and Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing

Innovative engineering teams at Astrium, Cessna, Eaton, MAN Roland, and Oce are reducing control system development time through rapid prototyping and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing with MathWorks tools.

In academia, Case Western Reserve is using rapid prototyping to help restore movement in individuals with neuromuscular disabilities. Penn State has incorporated HIL testing into their graduate engineering curriculum to teach students about electric, hybrid-electric, and fuel cell vehicle technology.

Rapid Prototyping — With Simulink, Stateflow, and Real-Time Workshop, you can develop simulation models and generate application code, then use xPC Target to run and test this software in real time on a PC connected to the physical hardware.

Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing — Through real-time simulation, you can test implemented embedded controllers when the physical system being controlled is unavailable or is too costly to use for testing.

Streamline Your Development Process Learn how you can find and fix errors much earlier in the design process for a faster, more cost-effective production implementation.
