Civil Hybrid Simulation

Our MTS Civil Hybrid Simulation is a structural testing technique that combines physical testing and computer modeling, offering a more efficient and affordable way to examine how structural systems respond to realistic dynamic or seismic loading. 

Rather than test a complete structure on a large-scale physical test rig, hybrid simulation, instead suggests modeling the complete structure while physically testing only a portion.

Key benefits

  • PhD-level MTS system integration engineers provide expert guidance and training.
  • MTS has expert applications expertise and is well-connected with top hybrid simulation developers.
  • MTS has commissioned quasi-static and real-time hybrid simulation systems at over 100 sites worldwide.
  • Hybrid Simulation is a cost-effective method for testing large-scale civil structure.
