Purpose and goal
The project goal was to develop technology for model-based development and operation of systems. To achieve this goal SICSEast delveloped support for easier and more stable TLM based co-simulation between tools for systems in operations. Collaboration with SKF gave feedback and industrial evaluation.
Expected results and effects
The main result is support for easier and more stable TLM based co-simulation between tools. Expected effects is primarily more effective model-based product development, which is supported by positive experience by SKF who used TLM based co-simulation tool to co-simulate between Modelica tools and BEAST tool for bearing simulation. The TLM based co-simulation editor is now part of the open-source OpenModelica tool. Dissemination of results via OpenModelica web site, approx. 10000 downloads per month.
Planned approach and implementation
The project work w as organized with a tight collaboration, including weekly skype-meetings. Sometimes specific meetings on certain topics, and/or a developers week was organized for more tight collaboration. Project PB meetings for general information exchange between partners. SICSEast/LiU developed the most OpenModelica parts (compilator front-end, GUI, TLM support) and SKF collaborated with industrial relevant usage and feedback: co-simulation between Modelica and BEAST for bearings in wind powered turbines.
