Achieving good correlation between simulation and physical tests results is very strategic activity for aerospace companies as it boosts the confidence in the analysis results throughout the development of the product. A critical element of this process is the placement and data extraction from strain gauges, which can be a complex and time consuming task in the aerospace industry due to the very large number of measurement points. This free to attend, 40 minute session will demonstrate how this process can be simplified, standardized and automated while improving confidence in simulation to test correlation.
