Real-Time Simulation
R2026bPerforming real-time and hardware-in-the-loop simulation using a
Simscape™
Driveline™ model typically involves trade-offs between model fidelity and
simulation performance, that is, speed. The Simscape
Driveline libraries include blocks that allow you to simplify
high-fidelity models in a single step by selecting a parameter option that
is designated as Suitable for HIL. If you have a
Simulink®
Real-Time™ license, you can optimize your Simscape
Driveline model for real-time execution using the Execute
real-time application activity mode in the Performance
Advisor.
