xLINK – Tool Neutral Co-Simulation Platform

• Receive subsystem models from various groups and link them together in an intuitive way to create complex system-level models
• Design scenarios/experiments to be simulated by modifying the parameters of sub-systems
• Simulate your overall models using advanced co-simulation technologies and monitor the performance during runtime
• Analyze sub-system interactions in GT-POST, combine plots and compare results to measurements
• Supports FMI v1.0 and v2.0 and Simulink
• Direct link with IPG CarMaker, MSC Adams, ETAS ASCMO and more

• Signals can be manipulated between sub-system models, and one can add logic for enabling or by-passing signals
• “One-click” modification of entire sets of parameters by grouping them together to form drop-down options
• Master and sub-system models can be either stored locally or in a revision control database, ensuring full model data management capabilities
• Simulations can be performed on a distributed computing cluster and results are automatically recombined into a single output as if it were a single run
• The most popular DoE (Design of Experiment) algorithms are available and response surface models can be generated
• Direct single or multi-objective (pareto) optimization is possible using the built-in optimizer which offers state-of-the-art algorithms

These capabilities are included in every seat of GT-SUITE.
