Modeling and Simulation

• Provide capability to swap between real and simulated hardware

• Develop more thorough test cases

• Simulated hardware allows for expansive fault generation • Test “corner cases”

• Save time and budget by simulating complex faults vs. generating them in real hardware

• Model system dynamics before

hardware is available

• Seamlessly integrate with

familiar modeling environments
