Relevant MathWorks^® and dSPACE Tools

Tools for System Modeling, Analysis, Simulation, and More

Overview:

• MathWorks^®
  • MATLAB^® is an integrated development environment for numeric computations, with a large library of mathematical analysis techniques. Application-specific toolboxes are also available.
  • Simulink^® is integrated into MATLAB as an interactive environment for modeling, analyzing, and simulating. You can create models based on block diagrams via drag & drop.
  • Stateflow^® extends Simulink with options for implementing state charts.
  • Simulink Coder™ (formerly Real-Time Workshop^® and StateflowCoder^®) automatically generates C code from Simulink block diagrams and Stateflow systems as well as from TargetLink models. Together with dSPACE’s Real-Time Interface and/or ConfigurationDesk (for SCALEXIO and MicroAutoBox III hardware), Simulink Coder provides a seamless transition from your block diagram to dSPACE’s real-time hardware. You can also use it to integrate Simulink models in SystemDesk.
  • HDL Coder™ for modeling parts of dSPACE FPGA models with Simulink^® blocks. HDL Coder lets you use existing Simulink models directly as part of your FPGA application.
• dSPACE
  • TargetLink, the production code generator from dSPACE, comes with its own blockset, a subset of Simulink that is highly suitable for modeling control functions.
  • Model Compare finds all the changes in a model (dSPACE TargetLink, MathWorks^® Simulink^®/Stateflow^®). Even large models can be compared in minutes, which would be practically impossible without tool support.
  • dSPACE AUTOSAR Compare is a dedicated comparison tool for Classic and Adaptive AUTOSAR for detecting and merging the differences between two AUTOSAR files.
  • With ConfigurationDesk, it is easy to implement the real-time code for behavior models (from MATLAB/Simulink/Simulink Coder) and the I/O function code (configured in ConfigurationDesk) on dSPACE SCALEXIO and MicroAutoBox III hardware.
  • SystemDesk is a software architecture tool supporting the development of distributed automotive electrics/electronics (E/E) systems and subsystems.
  • VEOS is a PC-based simulation platform for validating the software of electronic control units (ECUs) in early development process stages. A wide range of models - function models, virtual ECUs, bus systems, and plant models - can be simulated with VEOS independently of any specific simulation hardware.
