Simscape 3.3

Sharing Models Using Simscape Editing Modes

The Simscape Editing Modes let you perform physical modeling and simulation using Simscape and its add-on products: SimDriveline, SimElectronics, SimHydraulics, and SimMechanics. You can open, simulate, tune parameters for, and save models that contain blocks from add-on products with only a Simscape license, as long as the add-on products are installed on your machine. You can share your models across your organization without purchasing additional licenses.

Converting Simscape Models to C Code

With Simscape you can convert your models into C code, enabling you to use the accelerator modes of Simulink to reduce simulation time. You can also convert Simscape models into C code using Real-Time Workshop, which lets you:

• Run your model in real time, enabling you to perform HIL testing
• Integrate your model into other simulation environments
• Compile your Simscape model for standalone simulations, which accelerate analyses like parameter studies and Monte Carlo simulations

Converting Simscape models to C code using Real-Time Workshop 4:30
A standalone executable is created from the model to accelerate a set of simulations where parameter values are varied.

Configuring your models to run in real time enables you to use hardware-in-the-loop testing instead of expensive prototypes to test your system. You can find mistakes earlier in the development process, reducing costs and shortening the design cycle.

A Simulink model incorporating blocks from MathWorks physical modeling products is converted to C code and downloaded onto a Bachmann electronic M1 hardware controller.
