Field data is just the starting point for many engineering processes. ICE-flow adds value by delivering timely inputs and managing the generated results.
ICE-flow helps the engineers running downstream processes to get up and running with their simulation technologies. First of all, ICE-flow is a secure, traceable source of “real” loads and is compatible with software products for multibody analysis, and RPC formats for laboratory testing. Engineers can quickly locate the initial wheel-force transducer measurements taken on previous generation products, or on early mules. Audit trails will point to the engineer that collected it, the specific test conditions, when the data was cleaned and validated. Data can even be made available the same day as a test in the field–which is something that could only be dreamed of before ICE-flow.

Most companies use single axis shakers and multiactuator systems to reproduce field conditions in the laboratory–and ICE-flow has a central role to play. Using ICE-flow, the team can locate the raw field measurements, analyze the data in every way imaginable, and generate shorter time histories that maintain the same damage potential as that encountered in the field. The result: tests are performed sooner, they run more quickly, and everyone knows what is happening at any time. The fatigue-sensitive data reduction process can be defined by the manager, which ensures a consistent approach is used throughout the organization. ICE-flow will store the processed drive files in native RPC III format, and any time histories that are monitored in addition to the actuator drives.
