Integrated System Bench for Design V&V Using Real-Time Simulation

An integrated system bench has been developed for validating system process using real-time simulation model. The validation process performs the feature characterization of a dynamical system of interest, and then uses the characterized features for system performance validation. The system bench is a computer platform consisting of multiple single-board computers, in which a suite of real-time embedded algorithms is designed and dedicated to system performance validation and fault feature analysis. The overall functionality of the system bench is to provide a versatile, robust, and real-time working environment for system model performance validation, in which a number of software tools can be invoked for system model integrity analysis and run-time performance identification.
