Abstract

A new approach is described for multidisciplinary simulation, i.e., the simulation of models, which consist of components from different engineering disciplines. The central part of this approach consists of the definition of a neutral (low level) interface for general event-driven ordinary differential equations and differential algebraic equations, called DSblock (= Dynamic System block). Several preprocessors have been realized that generate DSblocks from models of existing modelling environments from different domains. Furthermore a run time environment is available to simulate DSblocks in an interactive way.
