Overview

In this chapter, you compare physical test data with virtual test data. By comparing the two sets of data, you immediately know the limitations of your model compared to the physical prototype, and you will have all the data in one place to be able to eliminate the differences.

Validating against your physical test data involves:

■Importing Physical Test Data

■Creating a Plot Using Physical Test Data

■Modifying Your Plot Layout

■Creating a Plot Using Virtual Test Data

■Saving Your Model

If you choose not to work through the tutorial in sequential order and want to work through it starting here, import the file test.cmd from install_dir/aview/examples/Latch/, where install_dir is the directory where Adams is installed. After importing test.cmd, simulate your model as shown in Simulating Your Model.
