Chapter 5: Co-Simulation

Co-Simulator entities enable you to create files for co-simulation. To create files for co-simulation, you must also define co-simulation signal inputs and outputs. File generation entities include lists of co-simulation variables and define the interface time step, which is the communication time step between Motion and the co-simulation tool. This chapter introduces file generation entities, and how to create and modify them.

File generation entities can be classified as their usage:

Interface TypeDescription
Matlab

Export files for interfacing Motion with MATLAB/Simulink.

FMIExport FMU files for interfacing Motion with simulation tools that support the Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI).
