SIMulation Workbench Real-Time Modeling Environment

WU8020-L -- SIMulation Workbench

SIMulation Workbench (SWB) provides a complete framework to develop and execute realtime hardware-in-the-loop and man-inthe-loop simulations. SWB’s powerful GUI allows users to conveniently configure, start, stop, record and play back simulation runs. SWB provides fast, direct shared memory access to all parameters and signals needed by your simulation. SWB’s inmemory design optimizes performance and data conversion speed.

SWB is built upon a client-server architecture. A real-time server provides the run-time environment for simulation while network-based GUI clients control and display simulation activities. Realtime performance is maximized because the GUI clients run outside of the simulation server.

At the heart of SWB is a memory-resident database called RTDB that can be accessed by all simulator processes. RTDB stores the definition of all data items used by the simulation such as model variables and their mapping to I/O boards and model parameters. RTDB is configured externally via a GUI and provides for complete I/O independence. All the information necessary to configure I/O points and data bus protocols and to read, convert, write and store simulation variables is maintained in the database.

Note: For detailed configuration information and prerequisites, please consult the SWB entry on the iHawk catalog page.

Laboratory Workbench™ (LWB) is a high-performance GUI data acquisition software package for Concurrent iHawk™ Linux®-based multiprocessing systems. LWB's easy-to-use, point-and-click interface allows users to acquire, process, display and record analog data without the need for programming. LWB is an X/Motif-based application that runs on Concurrent's RedHawk™ Linux real-time operating system. A set of symbolic icons and graphic displays represent data acquisition devices, file operations, signal processing tasks and display options. With LWB visual controls, users can quickly configure an operational data acquisition and signal processing system. LWB includes Concurrent's SP-50 Data Acquisiton And Control Software library. LWB PDF Brochure

Prerequisites: iHawk system (HQx). General Standards 16-bit analog I/O card (CS-GS-16AIO-x or CS-GS-16AI64SSAx) or D-TACQ Solutions ACQ32PCI 16-bit analog I/O card.

Note: Special quotation required for support on RedHawk 2.3.

Data produced by the system includes digital raw time domain, frequency domain with time domain statistics and compressed peak frequency domain data files. Software set-up is point-and-click via GUI. Setup can alternatively be performed using comma-delimited command files. Data inputs to the system include analog time domain (tape or real-time), direct read of commercially available digital tape formats, ASCII input of time domain data, and EDAS native data formats.

DataDetective

DataDetective bulk data screening software scans large volumes of electronic vibration data files and catalogs peak response information. Results can be assigned to modes, ratioed to other locations and compared to limits. Scanned electronic data files can be produced by an EDAS data acquisition system or by other systems using custom file translators. DataDetective produces, and interfaces to a database that can be sorted, filtered and exported to other application formats such as comma separated (CSV) or MATLAB formats. Each entry in the database is linked directly with the file that produced the entry. This permits the user to immediately call up the parent data file and examine responses more carefully. Files are viewed interactively by clicking on the entry in the database.

GageMap

GageMap is a user-friendly software tool that simplifies interaction with finite element models for test planning, model verification and test data analysis. GageMap makes it easy to extract finite element data for direct comparison to experimental measurements.
