Concurrent (NASDAQ:CCUR), a leading provider of time-critical
Linux(R) operating systems and integrated software and computer
solutions for mission-critical applications, and The FTI Group, a
member of the Aviatronics consortium of well-known German suppliers in
aviation and aerospace industries, announced a partnership to deliver
simulation systems and services within Europe, most notably to Airbus
projects in Germany.
The Airbus A400M High Lift System hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test
stand was a solution recently delivered by the Concurrent/FTI team.
The system will be used to test the A400M aircraft's high-lift control
computers which are responsible for controlling the trailing-edge
flaps that generate higher lift during take-off and landing. The
system leverages The MathWorks' popular MATLAB(R)/Simulink(R) modeling
and test management software for rapid simulation development and
test.
"The A400M test stand is one of the most advanced test systems
deployed today," said Jochen Venrath, Head of Design and Verification,
The FTI Group. "Engineered to gather and store thousands of I/O
points, the seamless integration of MathWorks' Simulink and Concurrent
products enabled our team to deliver a HIL system that is easy to use
and reconfigurable for multiple tests."
"The FTI Group's extensive expertise in the hardware-in-the-loop
and man-in-the-loop simulation complements Concurrent's core
business," said Birgit Grossmann, CFO, European Operations of
Concurrent. "FTI and Concurrent are working together to offer our
customers complete, fully-integrated simulation solutions."
In the A400M test stand, I/O points can be gathered and stored
along with Simulink variables using Concurrent's real-time database
(RTDB) and data logger in a 500 usec frame while still providing 300
usecs of run time for the Simulink model. Concurrent's Frequency Based
Scheduler synchronizes all test definition language activity, Simulink
models, RTDB, I/O and data logging to provide a seamless
hard-in-the-loop test system. The RTDB and I/O configurations as well
as the data logger can be quickly reconfigured from existing files
that are saved in a configuration database.
The A400M HIL test stand includes Concurrent iHawk quad-CPU and
dual-CPU multiprocessors powered by Concurrent's real-time RedHawk(TM)
Linux(R). In addition, The FTI Group provided valuable software and
other professional services including integration, test management,
test specifications and evaluation tools to fulfill Airbus
requirements.
HIL simulation is a critical product development process providing
comprehensive testing of components in a virtual environment in which
other subsystems are replaced by mathematical models. Components to be
tested are inserted into a closed loop that is reproducible,
systematic, fast and more reliable than actual bench testing.
Following the successful A400 test stand project, Concurrent and
FTI Group team delivered to Airbus the initial system for the Single
Drive Concept (SDC) technology program. SDC further expands the role
of real-time simulation in Airbus component design.
Technical experts from Concurrent and The FTI Group (Booth #516)
are available to answer questions on the Concurrent/FTI Group projects
and other Concurrent solutions at the ITEC 2007 Conference and
Exhibition, Europe's premier Defence Training, Education and
Simulation conference, being held this week, April 24-26, 2007 in
Cologne, Germany.
