Simcenter Testlab
From acquisition to report in one test environment
Simcenter Testlab is the test data acquisition and analysis platform covering NVH, modal, acoustics, fatigue and rotating machinery — linking acquisition, processing and reporting into one flow.
The value of test software is not drawing waveforms. It is standardising repeated test procedures so that a new engineer following a template produces results comparable with everyone else’s. Testlab ships a large set of templates aligned with industry practice, from modal parameter identification through pass-by noise analysis.
It also compares against simulation in the same environment: measured and simulated frequency responses overlay directly, MAC values compute with one click, and the model updating loop becomes straightforward.
Key capabilities
Multi-channel acquisition
Large channel counts acquired synchronously, across sensor types and buses.
Modal analysis
Experimental modal identification, MAC checking and correlation analysis.
NVH testing
Pass-by noise, order analysis and sound quality assessment.
Fatigue and load spectra
Load spectrum acquisition, editing and accelerated test profile generation.
Process automation
Standardised templates and batch processing with one-click reports.
Simulation correlation
Compare with Simcenter 3D results in the same environment and update models.
