FMI Support in the dSPACE Tool Chain
dSPACE supports the Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI) standard with
- Its PC-based simulation platform VEOS
- Its Virtual ECU (V-ECU) creation software SystemDesk
- Its hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation system SCALEXIO
- Its production code generator TargetLink
- Its data management software SYNECT
This VEOS-based virtual validation project demonstrates how Functional Mock-up Units (FMUs) from different vendors can be integrated into simulation models based on dSPACE Automotive Simulation Models (ASMs) and used with the standards and tools known from hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation. A related SCALEXIO project demonstrates the consistent reuse of project data in the dSPACE tool chain.
SystemDesk: FMU Export of V-ECUsThe main new feature of SystemDesk 5.6 is an FMU export of V-ECUs. It works for Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 V-ECUs if only CAN buses are used. This new feature gives especially suppliers the chance to create and simulate a V-ECU with the dSPACE SIL solution, and to hand over the same V-ECU to OEMs as an FMU for their SIL simulations.
FMI Demonstration Project for the Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulator SCALEXIOThis SCALEXIO-based hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) project demonstrates how Functional Mock-up Units (FMUs) from different vendors and Simulink models based on dSPACE Automotive Simulation Models (ASMs) can be integrated to generate real-time-capable simulation applications for executing HIL tests of real ECUs. A related VEOS project demonstrates the consistent reuse of project data in the dSPACE tool chain.
TargetLink supports FMI-based model exportTargetLink enhances collaboration between development teams, organizations, and companies by supporting the FMI 2.0 standard. Exporting TargetLink models as Functional Mock-up Units (FMUs) allows users to easily exchange and combine models from various modeling environments and Simulink versions, while protecting their intellectual property
