Efficient Development of Complex Systems using a Unified Modular Approach
U. Wurstbauer, M. Herrnberger, A. Raufeisen, Victor Fäßler · 2015
The increasing complexity of multi-physical systems during early stages of the development process can be counteracted using a unified development approach based on the usage of the Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI). This allows a parallel cost-saving component development but requires also a proper system definition at the initial phase of the process. FMI based co-simulations lead to identical results compared to approaches based on the re-development of components in another authoring tool or the usage of traditional co-simulation interfaces coupling individual computer aided engineering (CAE) software packages. A process for the development as well as an automotive example is presented and possible avionic applications are discussed.
