CDP Studio Documentation

Introduction

Framework - Simulator

CDPSim is a toolkit for modeling and creating real-time simulations of physical systems described by differential equations. This can be used to replace real hardware in Hardware In the Loop testing (HIL testing).

In addition to the simulation engine, CDPSim also supports importing from FMI 2.0 Co-Simulation. This means that CDPSim can interact with other simulation tools using the Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI) standard.

Contents

  • Introduction - an overview of the CDPSim framework, the terminology used and an introduction to describing physical systems with differential equations.
  • Getting Started - a step-by-step guide to creating a new simulator project using CDP Studio.
  • CDP Simulator Examples - a continuation of the Getting Started guide, with more complex examples.
  • Configuration Manual - a list of CDPSim resources and their configuration options.
  • Connecting Components Using SimPorts - a guide on configuring SimPorts and how simulator components can use them to exchange data and work together as a system.
  • Choosing an Integration Method - a comparison of the different integration algorithms available in CDPSim.
  • FMI Co-Simulation - a tool-independent standard for the exchange of simulation models
  • Practical Guidelines for Designing Simulator Systems - tips and suggestions for designing simulator systems with the CDPSim framework.
  • CDPSim C++ Classes - API reference for the CDPSim C++ classes used when creating code-based simulation models.
