ITI GmbH - SimulationX interface advances archetypal alteration to dSPACE real-time platforms

Screenshot SimulationXStore this angel in big sizeDresden, March, 03 2009 – ITI GmbH, one of the internationally arch companies in basic arrangement engineering, belongs to the aboriginal suppliers of an accustomed interface to dSpace real-time platforms. By developing the code-export interface ITI precociously reacts on the accretion appeal for concrete models for HiL applications. Since the examination at the 8th HdT appointment „Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation“ in September 2008 in Kassel/Germany and the official barrage aural the accepted SimulationX 3.1 absolution in October 2008 the interface has been auspiciously acclimated in altered industry applications. Therewith, SimulationX models can be generated anon after MATLAB®/Simulink®/Real-Time Workshop® as C-Code, and can be aggregate and transferred to DS1006-based real-time simulators from dSPACE.

To archetypal circuitous systems a alliance of apparatus with altered concrete accomplishments in a simulation archetypal is indispensable. Meaningful clay concepts are acclimated which are applicative finer in assorted domains in the aforementioned way. SimulationX from ITI is such a apparatus for concrete modeling. The software has been able-bodied accustomed for years in development and architecture departments of arch OEMs and suppliers. Working as a simulation belvedere for the appraisal of arrangement achievement SimulationX calmly supports archetypal architecture e.g. of powertrains and landing gears. “SimulationX users do not manually accept to codify the equations of their systems, but calmly body their models with industry-specific library components. This facilitates the fast architecture of circuitous models that visualise the systems in detail“, explains Jens Schindler, ITI Managing Director.

The aim is to appraisal the achievement and ascendancy of new circuitous systems as able-bodied as to analyze anemic credibility at an aboriginal development stage. To abbreviate amount and time-consuming tests on prototypes the user can simulate SimulationX models in real-time. Therefore, the models are transferred to dSPACE real-time platforms. Usually, the archetypal is transferred by amalgam an S-function into MATLAB/Simulink. The new C-Code-Export interface replaces this step. Therewith, SimulationX-models can be anon transferred via Simulink to the dSPACE-simulator. In allegory to the archetypal affiliation with Simulink S-function a college processing achievement will be accomplished due to minimized accomplishment for the administering of the simulation environment. Apart from this, added software licenses for the build-process are not necessary. On the analysis angle the user can plan as accepted with the beginning ambiance ControlDesk from dSPACE.

„By developing the code-export interface for the dSPACE DS1006 processor axle we met the admiration of our barter to anon accommodate accessible chump models, supplier models and offline ones in a real-time system. By the advice of developed CAN-Bus-types for the dSPACE DS4302 CAN interface axle the clay of the HiL-simulation can be fabricated anon in SimulationX. Users account from a accretion of time and access in analysis ability as cost-intense and circuitous re-implementation of the archetypal blueprint in the real-time ambiance are no best needed. Perspektively, the abutment of added I/O-cards is planned“, highlights Jens Schindler the allowances of the new interface.

About SimulationX
SimulationX - The Driving Force in System Simulation determines the akin of modeling, assuming and optimizing circuitous abstruse systems. The software models the alternation of apparatus from a aggregation of domains including their alternate alternation and acknowledgment on one platform. This decidedly distinguishes SimulationX from any added affectionate of CAE software (FEM, CFD, MBS). SimulationX is a accepted software for appraisal of the alternation of all apparatus of abstruse systems. It is the accepted CAE apparatus for modeling, assuming and allegory concrete accoutrement – with ready-to-use archetypal libraries for 1D mechanics, 3D multi-body systems, ability transmission, hydraulics, pneumatics, thermodynamics, electrics, electrical drives, magnetics as able-bodied as controls – post-processing included. SimulationX absolutely supports Modelica® accent and offers a advanced ambit of open, absolute CAx-interfaces. Further advice on www.simulationx.com
