The invention relates to a method for dynamic load simulation, wherein loads are specified by target signals and applied to a test object by a parallel kinematic excitation unit via an end effector, including the following operations:



measuring loads at a contact point (200),
comparing the measured loads with the target signals (300), and
determining target pressures (400) for individual actuators of the parallel kinematic excitation unit for applying the target signals by use of a control algorithm (Fq,ref).




This provides a method for dynamic load simulation that reduces the time and cost expenditure compared to previously known methods and at the same time enables hardware-in-the-loop simulations to be used.
