A functional prototype is an advanced data model that provides a continuous and consistent view of a product's state - across the development process and product lifecycle. Virtual and mixed prototypes are connected via domain-specific functional prototypes. This enables a new way of data reuse and optimization. Functional Prototype Management provides all V&V information on product, subsystem and component level in a structured way - for all requirements and variants. You know at any point in time whether a target has been met or not and how high the risk is that it will not be met at the start of production.
We understand the process of validation, whether it is done in the virtual world or hybrid. We have acquired extensive skills in how to reuse existing knowhow and data in an organization. The aspect of traceability is very important. It’s the only way to ensure the repeatability of tests.
