Improve traceability in your aerospace testing processes

Certification of innovative aircraft programs is time-consuming and expensive. Using advanced materials, additive-manufactured structures or electrical propulsion systems requires extensive physical testing and simulation to verify whether the aircraft is safe and reliable. Similarly, spacecraft qualification involves extensive testing campaigns to prove that it will withstand the environment of space flight.

A massive amount of data is collected during these programs and should be properly handled to secure the certification or qualification processes. These processes can be optimized by implementing a comprehensive digital thread approach for verification management combined with a smart test data management approach.

Benefits of an integrated verification management approach

Using a digital platform to manage requirements verification – from defining the verification plan, preparation and execution of the testing and analysis tasks to gathering compliance substantiation – ensures full traceability of the verification process. Using the right tools for test data processing, storage, annotation, and sharing amongst the teams also helps improve traceability and efficiency.

In this webinar, the benefits of this holistic approach will be illustrated using various aviation and space examples.

Traceability in aerospace testing

In this webinar, you will learn how to:

• Use a digital verification management platform to automatically connect requirements with virtual and physical testing evidence
• Efficiently acquire and analyze test data in view of model validation and proof of compliance
• Implement a data management system to increase collaboration within test and simulation teams and ensure traceability and persistency of test data throughout the programs
