CAx Interfaces
The SimulationX interfaces couple SimulationX models with CAE, CAD, CAM, CAO, FEA/FEM, CFD, MBS or any other calculation software tools. The coupling ensures the data exchange between the tools and thus the advantages of your tools and our simulation software complement one another.
SimulationX provides many interfaces to external programs for different purposes and applications:
Co-Simulation
SimulationX provides a generic co-simulation interface. This general co-simulation library provides general-purpose blocks which can be tailored to almost any other simulation tool. The communication is achieved via TCP/IP. Preconfigered and ready-to-use co-simulation solutions are available for MATLAB/Simulink , MSC, Adams, Simpack, FLUENT, Cadmould and others.
Scripting
A comprehensive COM interface allows the communication between SimulationX and other Windows applications. Any operation, which can be performed interactively, can also be controlled by a script. This feature is useful for user-defined batch runs, embedded simulation, parameter studies, or optimizations.
Data and Model import
Import filters are available for numerical data (1D/2D/3D tables) and CAD files (3D bodies). Moreover, external functions can be included in terms of dlls.
Model export
The model export functionality includes the export of linearized system models (state-space model, ABCDE matrices) and the export of complete SimulationX models as C-Code.Code can be generated for stand-alone executables, Simulink s-functions, and other targets used in HiL, RCP, or SiL applications.
Optimization, DOE and DFSS techniques
For interaction with SimulationX the following optimization interfaces are available: Isight, modeFRONTIER and OptiY.
