5.1.0 Installing MTS TestSuite Simulation
Software
Installation of the simulation software consists of launching two separate self-extracting executables, one for
the MTS TestSuite application and one for the MTS Series 793 Simulation software. These files are available
on CD-ROMs or download sites.
MTS TestSuite self-extracting executable
This file installs any of the following MTS TestSuite applications that you have purchased a license for:
• Multipurpose Elite (mpe), for designing and running tests
• Multipurpose Express (mpx), for running tests
• Fatigue Analyzer (faa), for analysis of fatigue test data
• Fracture Analyzer (fra), for analysis of fracture test data
Series 793 Simulation self-extracting executable
This file installs a simulated version of MTS Series 793 software, including configuration and support files
used with this guide. This software provides simulated real-time control of a test station.
Installation procedure
For detailed instructions on how to install simulated testing software, see the Multipurpose Elite Simulated
Testing User Guide.
A PDF of this document is available in the following locations:
• As a link on the MTS TestSuite Multipurpose Software self-extracting executable
• From the Windows Start button after the MTS TestSuite Multipurpose software is installed (Start >
Programs > MTS TestSuite > Documentation)
The same information is also available in the online help for the Multipurpose Elite application.
5.2.0 Creating Ramp and Cycle Test
5.2.1.0 Ramp and Cycle Test Design Overview
This section contains a walkthrough of how to create a simple test using MTS TestSuite MPE that ramps and
cycles the actuator. The Ramp and Cycle test design performs the following activities:
• Ramps from zero to a fixed mean level.
• Cycles at an amplitude relative to mean as entered by the operator.
