Aquila has been developed by SoftWire Systems to simplify and improve the process of converting measured accelerometer data into Power Spectral Density (PSD) profiles for mechanical vibration testing. Unlike traditional frequency-domain approaches that can lead to overtesting or unrealistic damage profiles, Aquila enables tailored mission profiles and agile test planning.

Aquila uses advanced damage-equivalent methods, such as the Fatigue Damage Spectrum, without the need for complex software or proprietary hardware. It allows engineers to rapidly update specifications, compare against traditional PSD creation methods, and balance test duration with severity levels. The system works with open data formats for easy integration into existing workflows.

Key features of Aquila include:

• Create profiles with multiple fatigue/dynamic properties, automatically combined using statistical analysis

• Compare with traditional PSD creation methods (e.g., Welch’s method)

• Adjust equivalent damage test time instantly to manage duration and severity

• Automated, customisable report generation

• Shock Response Spectrum (SRS) creation

• CSV input/output for compatibility with a wide range of shaker controllers

• Expert advice on test profile methods, limitations, and applications

• Regular feature updates based on customer feedback
