The Simulator uses Mobile Conversion Units (MCUs) consisting of a test chamber with grips or anvils and mounted on wheels so that one MCU may be rolled away from the Gleeble and another MCU configuration rolled on. It allows performing advanced thermo-mechanical experiments, such as high-temperature tension/compression, plane strain compression, torsion, and sequential compression in two mutually orthogonal directions in contrast to the other popular test machines.
