Opal-RT Challenge X's Sponsored Universities Win First Competition
Opal-RT is a silver sponsor of the General Motor’s Challenge X competition. The Challenge X is a three-year competition that will give engineering universities an opportunity to participate in hands-on research and development with leading-edge automotive propulsion, fuels, materials and emissions-control technologies.

In June, three Universities that Opal-RT provided hardware and software were winners in the first part of the competition, they came in first, second and fifth place.

A big congratulation goes out to:

1st Place - University of Waterloo
2nd Place – University of Akron
5th Place – Pennsylvania State University

Misubishi Electric Corporation Real-Time Simulation of Electric Motor and Power Electronics
Opal-RT Technologies’ RT-LAB Electric Drive Simulator was selected and installed by Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (MELCO) in Japan. With a simulation period as low as 8 µs and a precise simulation of inverter PWM switching, including such tiny details as the dead time that is smaller than this actual simulation period, RT-LAB Electric Drive Simulator is the world's fastest and most precise real-time simulator of motor drives and power electronics based systems.

Why Upgrade to RT-LAB 7.2?

MATLAB R14.4 (R14 SP2) Fully Supported
RT-LAB 7.2 extends the range of supported modeling tools to include the latest version of MATLAB and Simulink.

Full Integration with TestStand
TestStand is a ready-to-run test management environment for automating your test and validation systems. It is designed to maximize test-code reuse through built-in language adapters and simplify maintenance by using a modular fully customizable test-system framework. TestStand provides an editor for you to visualize the code while you are using your preferred language/tool.
