Provides Affordable Real-Time Simulation for Automotive Systems
DETROIT, March 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Opal-RT Technologies Inc.
(http://www.opal-rt.com ), the world leader in distributed simulation on PC-based
platforms, today unveiled the RT-LAB Engineering Simulator. The announcement
took place during a press conference at SAE 2002 World Congress -- the annual
meeting of the Society of Automotive Engineers.
The RT-LAB(TM) Engineering Simulator provides the most effective way to
implement a model-based approach to design and testing. Working with
Simulink(TM) or SystemBuild(TM), the product allows real-time simulations of
dynamic systems to be quickly created and used throughout the design cycle --
from initial concepts to controller design, test and validation using
hardware-in-the-loop. This is ideal for engineers seeking to create and run
high fidelity, dynamic, and real-time simulations of automotive systems such
as X-by-wire, Engineering Control Units, ABS Braking Systems, Fuel Cells, and
Dynamic Test Beds.
"The pressure grows daily for Automotive Engineers to deliver new systems
and products cheaper, better, and faster. As a result, engineering
professionals have increasingly adopted model-based methodologies for real-
time prototyping, experimentation, and testing," said Paul Goossens, Opal-RT
Technologies Vice-President of Marketing. "The introduction of RT-LAB
Engineering Simulator provides the Automotive Engineering community with a
fully integrated, reconfigurable, and scalable environment in which to model
these advanced systems in real-time, on the desktop, and at an affordable
price."
Based on Opal-RT's distributed simulation technology, the key features of
the RT-LAB Engineering Simulator include:
* Parallel Processing for Unparalleled Computational Performance.
* Innovative Solvers for Unprecedented Numerical Accuracy.
* Off-the-shelf Technologies for Unbeatable Value.
Pricing and Availability
Pricing on a base RT-LAB Engineering Simulator begins at around $10,000,
but final price will depend on many factors, such as number of distributed
processors, I/O hardware requirements, specialized development tools and
libraries. All RT-LAB Simulators are available directly through Opal-RT at
1-877-935-2323, or info@opal-rt.com . More details on this announcement can
