Our core engineering is growing rapidly electrical, thermal, fluid and in Dymola and controller models competency is in the modelling and simulation of complex in importance and it is common control systems. This enables developed in Simulink. This multi-domain systems, such as cars and aircraft, using practice to use many different the interactions of these systems approach enables the model models and simulation tools to be captured in the model development in Dymola to Dymola and Modelica. to support this process. These and therefore the design of focus on delivering high quality tools rarely interoperate and the complete system can be physical models and control there is usually no model optimised rather than working engineers to continue working that represents the complete on each domain in isolation. on the development of the behaviour of the vehicle. control system using Simulink. The FMI standard is an open What makes the situation worse standard for model exchange is that this lack of interoperability and co-simulation. Building means that departments working on different aspects of the vehicle will all have to spend time creating models of the parts of the vehicle they are not responsible for. This means there is a large duplication of effort and wasted resource. Claytex is a specialist partner Claytex is based in Royal Claytex also develops a number At Claytex we believe there is a for Dassault Systèmes focusing Leamington Spa (UK) and we of Modelica application libraries better way by using simulation on their range of products for have been working with Dymola and FMI based tools.

The same trend has been visible also in research, where computational methods have gained popularity beside the traditional approach relying on theory and experi- mentations. The objective of this project task was to study and demonstrate a realistic ap- proach for an industrial case to reuse existing mechanical design CAD model as the starting point and the template for mechanical system simulation using multibody system simulation, and to use this MBS model as a virtual test plant for automation and control system testing. In the report, the role of system modelling and simulation in the product process is first dis- cussed and some selected technologies, such as Modelica simulation language and Functional Mock-up Interface specification, are introduced. Then different possible implementations ap- proaches for a test environment of the control and automation system of a multi-technical sys- tem are discussed.
