• Purpose:
• Test the controller (ECU, BMS, FADEC, etc.), relay,
electric drive, etc.
• Test in a safe manner the 85+ % of lines of code
that manage the exceptions the UUT will see
through its use by creating those exceptions on
purpose.
• Size does not matter! Remember Murphy’s
Law.

• We control the full business chain:
• Systems Integration team has a direct influence on HW/SW designs in accordance with real
customer requirements.
• Overheads are limited with in-house products and procurement.
• Support is handled directly by OPAL-RT.
• Open architecture permitting easy interface with existing simulation solutions.
• Modular design provides the means to expand the system with controlled cost.
• HW/SW for power electronics simulation as a backbone to propel test bench
designs. (MEA, Hybrid vehicules, BMS, etc. are inline with main business unit.)
• Simplified project management provides complex system delivery in short time
frames. (Typically 12 to 18 weeks.)
