Industrial application of co-modelling and co-simulation technology

Abstract

We describe three industrial applications of the Crescendo collaborative modelling and co-simulation technology, including a dredging excavator system, a high-speed document handling system, and an experimental self-balancing scooter. In each case we consider the observations made by the initial industrial users of the technology, including issues detected only as a result of co-simulation and not within the mono-disciplinary modelling activities. These include early detection of design issues, reducing the number of overall design iterations, as well as improved communication within design teams.
