Verification & Validation

Advanced simulations and experimental testing to ensure the safety, reliability, and performance of your systems.

What we do

Verification & Validation is the phase that ensures a product reaches its safety, reliability and performance targets before industrialisation. Compolab combines multidisciplinary expertise and integrated methodologies in the structural, functional, thermal and dynamic validation of mechanical, mechatronic and electromechanical systems, with a rigorous, predictive and data-driven approach.

We intervene to anticipate issues, reduce uncertainty and improve performance, addressing matters such as:

over-engineering and unnecessary costs;
long and redundant development cycles;
excessive numbers of physical prototypes;
vibration or fatigue issues (LCF/HCF);
thermal and deformation phenomena;
dynamic aspects;
Digital Twin models;
energy efficiency;
weight reduction;
difficulties in moving to certification or industrialisation.

To achieve this, we provide a comprehensive set of methodologies that includes:

multidisciplinary simulations to predict behaviour and critical issues;
physical and environmental testing to verify real-world response;
numerical–experimental correlation to increase the accuracy of models;
complete validation plans (DVP&R) for products and subsystems;
test benches and custom equipment designed around the client’s needs;
analysis of operational limits and worst-case scenarios to ensure robustness and durability;
reliability, availability, maintainability and safety (RAMS) analyses.

How we work

We combine simulation, testing, and functional validation through a structured process adapted to the product’s maturity.

Validation - COMPOLAB

Requirements analysis

We assess loads, operating conditions and critical scenarios.

Learn more

We assess loads, operating conditions, performance targets, design constraints and regulatory requirements, identifying the most critical scenarios (worst-case).

Virtual validation

Multidisciplinary models to predict critical issues.

Learn more

We predict critical issues and behaviors through multidisciplinary models: structural analyses, fluid dynamics, dynamic behavior, thermal phenomena, thermo-fluid dynamic analyses and 1D-3D models for mechatronic systems.

Functional and environmental testing

Targeted tests to validate real-world response.

Learn more

We validate real-world response through targeted tests: random, sinusoidal, shock and PSD vibrations, LCF/HCF fatigue, HALT/HASS, accelerated thermal cycles, thermal shock, climatic tests and mechanical and electromechanical tests.

Numerical-experimental correlation

We align simulations and real data.

Learn more

We align simulations and real data to validate predictive models, improve accuracy and robustness, and reduce design uncertainty.

Custom test benches and equipment

Dedicated validation solutions.

Learn more

We design and build dedicated validation solutions: R&D test benches, endurance and functional systems, EOL equipment and systems for complex or non-standard tests.

Final validation

Compliance with requirements and certification support.

Learn more

We consolidate results, verify compliance with requirements and support industrialization and certification.
