Modeling and Simulation (M&S) for Compliance is a unique program that can help accelerate product certification and allow for certification to integrate into a model-based engineering approach. The program allows for the use of data generated by M&S of product tests to be used to support certification decisions. The physical-testing intensive nature of certification can now benefit from the value of M&S such as reduced need for physical testing, lower number of physical prototypes, earlier insight into product performance and quick assessment of product design revisions. At the end of the process, a physical component, product or system that is ultimately subject to the certification is the result. The decision to use ...
