One of our recent work was evaluation of the “Integrated Vehicle Health Monitoring(IVHM)” of electronic systems using VisualSim for modeling and simulation. In the current scenario most of the solutions are using analytical methods to evaluate “success” or “failure” of a system which is obviously a critical task. We have created a very detailed level models […]
