XiL & Real-Time modeling

Model-, Software-, and Hardware-in-the-Loop (MiL, SiL, and HiL) plant modeling, configuration, and simulation execution services that enable virtual calibration, controls development, and system validation across the development process.

WHAT WE DELIVER

A single development path carries a control system from early-stage software testing through to hardware validation, backed by over a decade of X-in-the-Loop experience and a track record that includes bringing a fully physical 1D engine model onto an HiL rig back in 2013, among the first in the industry to do so.

MiL to HiL Development Workflow

Maintain a single simulation framework throughout the controls development process. Virtual plant models developed for MiL and SiL environments can be seamlessly adapted for real-time HiL testing, reducing rework and ensuring consistency from concept through validation.

Real-Time Plant Model Development

Transform detailed engineering models into computationally efficient real-time models suitable for HiL execution. Preserve essential system physics while achieving the execution speeds required for controls development, calibration, and ECU testing.

In-House and Customer-Site HiL Support

Whether using GTE's simulation infrastructure or existing customer hardware, our team can support HiL projects in the environment that best fits your development process. Flexible deployment options help accelerate implementation while minimizing disruption to established workflows.

ECU Verification and Validation

Validate control strategies under a wide range of virtual operating conditions before physical prototypes are available. Real-time simulation enables safe, repeatable testing that improves software quality and reduces development risk.

Beyond Powertrain Controls

Apply X-in-the-Loop methodologies across complete vehicle and energy systems, including engines, aftertreatment systems, thermal management networks, batteries, lubrication circuits, and electrified powertrains.

Faster Calibration and Reduced Testing Costs

Identify control issues earlier, evaluate more operating scenarios, and reduce dependence on expensive physical testing. By moving validation upstream in the development process, teams can shorten calibration cycles and improve overall engineering efficiency.
