Engineering

   

designXtronics offers engineering services for all steps within the model-based product development process, strongly aligned to norms as

  • Automotive SPICE®,
  • ISO/IEC 15504 ("SPICE"),
  • ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207 ("Systems and software engineering - Software life cycle processes"), or
  • EN ISO 13849 ("Safety of machinery")
Concepts
  • Development of functional concepts
  • Validation of concepts within simulation studies
(Pre-) Development
  • Physical and mathematical modeling of technical systems (mechanics, electrics, hydraulics, pneumatics, thermodynamics, ...)
  • Creation of simulation models
  • Analysis of static and dynamic system behaviour
  • Identification of system parameters
  • Numerical optimization of construction parameters
  • Model-based algorithm design and development of functional software (controller & diagnosis software)
