Modelling scenarios or how to check the application of new systems and products in safe virtual environments

CATEC’s Simulation and Software Area is working on the development of new technologies, such as the modelling of scenarios for their later application in R&D projects. This activity is linked to the development of some sort of software for products or systems that need to be tested in virtual environments. It involves the 3D design of the specific scenario or ground, where the testing will take place, that permits the interaction with real systems.

The aim of this technology is to verify that the software or application developed within an investigation that will be used afterwards in the industry is tested before in a safe virtual environment. Thus, it does not involve any risk for the participants of the project (e.g. an unmanned aircraft or any other device) and it permits to detect or correct its faults before its implementation, as well as to significantly lower the costs.

Different aspects, such as the modelling of the scenario, the simulated weather conditions involved in the process, the modelling of the participants’ functioning, and the software tested in the virtual environment, take part in this kind of investigations. CATEC models and builds, through this technology, simulated scenarios depending on the needs of the clients or projects.
