Computer Aided Control System Design (CACSD) Interfaces

SIMPACK offers several interfaces to different Control System Design environments:

  • SIMAT Linerar System Interface Export linearised SIMPACK model as MATLAB/Simulink state-space block.
  • SIMAT Co-Simulation Interface CoSimulation Interface to MATLAB/Simulink. The MBS model is evaluated in SIMPACK, while the controller is simulated within Simulink environment.
  • SIMPACK Code Export for MATLAB S-function Export (non-linear) SIMPACK model as MATLAB/Simulink S-function block.
  • MatSIM Export Simulink models as SIMPACK Control Element.

 

Also available (not distributed by SIMPACK AG):

  • IPC co-simulation interface to AMESim (available from LMS International)
  • IPC co-simulation interface to DSHplus (available from FLUIDON GmbH)
  • IPC co-simulation interface to ITI SimulationX (available from ITI GmbH)
  • Code Import into SIMPACK from ITI SimulationX (available from ITI GmbH)

Interfaces to MATLAB/Simulink

SIMPACK offers several application specific interfaces to MATLAB/Simulink.

SIMPACK Code Export

SIMPACK Code Export is an Add-On to SIMPACK. It can generate an s-function block from any SIMPACK model. This can be used like any other Simulink block.

Features/Benefits
  • Full model parameterisation.
  • Usage of advanced SIMPACK integrators.
  • Support of User Routines which include specific access functions.
  • Completely independent of SIMPACK.

SIMAT Linear System Interface

The SIMAT Linear System Interface generates a lineraised SIMPACK model for the Simulink "state-space" block.

 

Features/Benefits
  • Linearised model data as m-file.
  • Completely independent of SIMPACK.

SIMAT Co-simulation Interface

The SIMAT Co-simulation interface offers the possibility of a direct Co-simulation between any SIMPACK model and any Simulink simulation.

 

Features/Benefits
  • TCP/IP communication between SIMPACK and Simulink.
  • Full access to SIMPACK environment features.
  • Full access to Simulink environment, including all toolboxes.

MatSIM

Using MatTSIM, a Simulink model can be exported and used as SIMPACK Control Element.

 

Features/Benefits
  • Using MATLAB Real-Time Workshop to generate code from Simulink model.
  • Full parameterisation of the Simulink model within SIMPACK.
  • Completely independent of SIMULINK.
