Control, MiL, SiL, and HiL Simulation

GT-SUITE is the ideal modeling platform for carrying out controls system modeling, virtual controls calibration and validation in Model in the Loop (MiL), Software in the Loop (SiL), and Hardware in the Loop (HiL) environments

Control, MiL, SiL, and HiLWIDE RANGE OF CAPABILITIES

GT-SUITE can be supplied as an external model via Simulink S-function and/or FMI standard.  This way GT models are easily integrated into Simulink control system models for desktop simulation.  GT-SUITE supports both running as the Lead and as the Follower software with controls or other CAE modeling tools.

For moving to HiL based environments, GT models are quickly and semi-automatically converted to real time capable fast running or reduced order models (FRM, ROM), and ported to popular HiL systems.

To run physical, predictive engine models on a HiL system, GT offers GT-POWER-xRT, a solution dedicated to the current and future requirements of high-speed ECUs.

Using the same governing equations as GT-POWER, GT-POWER-xRT has been tailored specifically for the needs of ECU calibration and testing, providing unparalleled execution speed, thus allowing for increased model complexity on the test bench. Advanced control strategies, such as combustion control, can now be tested with a detailed physical engine model at significantly faster computation speeds with minimum effort and maximum accuracy, predictiveness, and fidelity.

Under the same principle, GT-SUITE-RT can support non-engine applications such as electric vehicle applications (EV), Thermal management simulation, Battery management simulations for controls calibration or aftertreatment real-time simulation for real driving emissions prediction.
