dSPACE Simulator MidSize

Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation makes it possible to test new ECUs and software largely in a virtual environment throughout the entire development cycle, without real vehicles or prototypes. The idea is to connect real ECU prototypes to real-time models of the vehicle and its mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and electronic components. This allows systematic and fully automated testing of the ECU and the entire electronic vehicle system.

This course uses a dSPACE Simulator MidSize to demonstrate which hardware components you need to integrate to customize and extend an off-the-shelf simulator to your own requirements. Step by step, you will learn the philosophy of HIL simulations and the potential they offer.
Please note: ControlDesk and AutomationDesk are not covered by this course. If you want to become familiar with the extensive and powerful method of automated testing in combination with ECU diagnostics, fault simulation, and report generation, we recommend to book this course in conjunction with the AutomationDesk courses.
