3.6  Virtual testing

From system models (FEM, state space model,...), where outputs are defined using SensDof entries and inputs with DofLoad or DofSet entries, one can initialize a model allowing rapid time simulation. Such virtual testing is useful as pre-test, or to develop testing procedures. While, this is not yet supported, initial documentation is given here.

• The initialization phase typically uses a numerical experiment described in section 3.5.

• SysCfg, 30 Model generation procedure. If MeshCfg correspond to a FEM model, this defines how the system model is built (full model, reduction strategy, modal-Newmark scheme, ...)
• AcqCfg, 40 Acquisition model : source model, signal processing settings underlying buttons.

A default database of Mesh, Model, Sys and Acq configurations is obtained using sdtsys CfgList.
