"NI LabVIEW and its open integration with engineering tools for mechanical design, multiphysics, and electrical simulation allows engineers and scientists to experience and validate their designs early in the design process and create a high-fidelity virtual prototype. Seamless deployment to embedded control and monitoring hardware allows design teams to streamline their product development process."
Engineers and scientists use virtual prototyping to design, optimize, validate, and visualize their products digitally and evaluate different design concepts before incurring the cost of physical prototypes. Mechanical, electrical, and control engineers can use NI LabVIEW system design software to collaborate and assess the operation of moving parts, validate control algorithms, simulate the electrical operation of control circuits, and simulate system behavior within the environment it needs to operate in. By doing this, they can visualize realistic machine operation, estimate the cycle time throughput, and glean important information about the dynamic behavior of the mechanical design. They can also evaluate the system behavior of analog circuitry in combination with digital control logic and perform accurate point-by-point simulation.
