1. A system with hardware and software components to simulate and evaluate at least one management algorithm of a panel, the system being activated by an electric motor, the system having anti-crushing security, the panel being mobile between two extreme positions, the system being operable such that the edge of the panel cannot trap and compress an obstacle interfering in the movement of the panel, the system comprising:

  • a plurality of probes providing information about a plurality of operation parameters of the electric motor in relation to the panel;

    a first model providing a representation of the electric motor, the model indicating at least one of the following plurality of parameters;

    electric parameters of the electric motor, electro-mechanical conversion, motor inertia, torque applied to the panel, interactions between the panel and at least one guidance device, and interference with the obstacle;

    second model providing a representation of a performance of the panel the second model including;

    an interface with the electric motor and a description of an influence of at least one guiding device in the displacement of the panel;

    a third model offering a representation of the incidence of the obstacle and providing description related to an inertia of the panel;

    a module for evaluation of the algorithm to be evaluated based on a detection of at least one of the following parameters;

    current supplied to the electric motor, evolution of said current with respect to time, motor angular speed, evolution of said angular speed value with respect to time, said module operable to receive commands to move the panel and further operable to receive data related to the plurality of probes;

    an activation and control model related to starting, stopping and/or changing direction of the motor based on a position and displacement of the panel and further based on a decision provided by the algorithm to be evaluated; and

    an interface module operable to input commands and display numeric and graphical values related to the system, further operable to integrate components of the system and to perform statistical analysis.
