The Digital Mock-up (DMU) is the best practice in the automotive industry
that for many years has enabled many engineers from different disciplines to work together in the
collaborate in the virtual world to better define future real-world products. However
so far, however, static, i.e., not taking into account product behavior.
Behavior. In particular, the dynamic behavior of embedded systems and
software has not been managed or simulated in DMU. The goal of
MODELISAR is the introduction of Functional Mock-up (FMU), a new generation of
standards and tools to support collaborative design, simulation and test of systems and embedded software.
of systems and embedded software.
The goals of MODELISAR are threefold, namely.
1. enabling the concurrent design of embedded systems and software using state-of-the-art
technologies:
– The open Modelica language for component-oriented system modeling and simulation; and
– The AUTOSAR standard for automotive embedded software.
2. definition of advanced interoperability interfaces at runtime to enable an
open co-simulation between virtual product models, especially in Modelica,
and the executable embedded software with different configurations.
3. providing a smooth, traceable, and integrated process for embedded
systems and software throughout the product lifecycle, based on Dassault
Systèmes V6 Product Life Management (PLM).
