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
