TISC Connection - Examples


TISC Connection block in Modelica

TISC Connection Block

For coupling simulation toolsTISC Connection blocks are integrated into each model to exchange data with the simulation server.

TISC Interface blocks in Simulink model

TISCConnection


Master With TISC it is possible

to seamlessly integrate a number of different models designed with different applications into one single application.

In this example three different models are embedded into Matlab/Simulink using a master – slave configuration.

Advantages at a Glance Effortless setup to realize co-simulation Tool-coupling

Further use of existing models and tools possible Expert knowledge in using specialized tools still applicable Hassle-free exchanging of components possible

Setup distributed simulations Using larger computing power Cross-platform co-simulations possible

Central control using TISC-Center Configuration, execution, postprocessing using one single

application Possibility to run batch simulations over night
