This paper presents an architecture-driven approach to manage heterogeneous simulations.A European automotive OEM has requested Siemens PLM Software to use its tools and process knowledge to demonstrate the value and need for architecture-driven simulation.Siemens PLM Software proposed a project to demonstrate Simcenter System Synthesis 1 as a neutral framework for managing heterogeneous simulations.This includes three major capabilities:• Integration of different subsystem models in the form of Simcenter Amesim 2 "supercomponents" and Functional Mock-up Units (FMUs) exported from Dymola 3 .• Plug-and-play configuration of subsystems regardless of their native software.• Performant execution of heterogeneous simulation architectures with the numerical challenges of segregated strongly coupled systems The focus of the project is on the process of model integration using Functional Mock-up Units (FMUs).An electrical vehicle case-study was selected to illustrate this process.
