Learn about Real-Time Simulation and Testing with our short 4-part video series on real-time simulations, Rapid Control Prototyping, Hardware-in-the-Loop and Speedgoat Real-Time Target machines.
Real-time simulation and testing are used in two ways, differing whether you are testing the control algorithm or verifying the plant that was modelled. Real time is used to mitigate the need for physical prototyping of controllers and to simulate virtual plant environments.
