Wind Studio

KineticaRT Wind Studio provides control and data acquisition functions for motor sport wind tunnels.

The software is the result of many years experience of delivering real-time control and monitoring systems to industry and, in recent years, of supplying software for several aerospace and motor sport wind tunnels.

Wind Studio is a pre-configured KineticaRT Studio .NET application. As a result, a customer can tailor the functionality to their exact requirements whilst managing costs and timescale.

We are equally happy to fully understand a customer's requirements and deliver a complete turnkey solution on a fixed price basis to an agreed project plan.

Joint development with a client's software team is another possibility.

Wind Studio addresses the key issues of wind tunnel testing:

• Wind tunnel time is precious:
  Wind Studio's test setup and analysis features improve productivity.
• Aerodynamicists want to concentrate on improving car performance:
  Wind Studio includes test setup editors that are quick and easy to use and incorporate automated change logging.
  In-built fault monitoring and diagnostic test features allow system problems to be detected early and resolved swiftly, reducing system downtime and the risk of making decisions based on unreliable measurements.
  Wind Studio supports automated backup of setup and results data to a warm-standby PC, offering fast recovery in the event of computer failure.
• Test requirements evolve rapidly, so the control and data acquisition software needs to be easy and quick to change, often in an impromptu way:
  Wind Studio is customer configurable and Windows .NET component based.

Although developed for motor sport wind tunnels, Wind Studio can be adapted for use in other automotive and aerospace tunnels.

The KineticaRT Studio .NET product can be configured to meet other control, display and data acquisition requirements and has been used successfully for aerospace and automotive engine test world-wide.

KineticaRT Studio .NET is a rapid application development tool for scalable industrial test automation software.

KineticaRT Wind Studio offers totally automated execution of the test run.

Flexible monitoring and diagnostic features are included to assist with reliable tunnel operation.
