Unified modeling technique using VHDL-AMS and software components

Mathematics and Computers in Simulation (MATCOM), 2013, vol. 90, issue C, 266-276

Abstract: The paper deals with the dynamic modeling of mechatronic devices, which usually need detailed modeling to be described and to take into account the physical properties of the VHDL-AMS, which is a powerful unified modeling language for mixed system, allows to describe a large range of physical systems, for their dynamic simulation. It allows to describe models of physical components and then to connect them to obtain the model of a system. However, this language cannot support the description of some physical phenomena, such local ones, defined by numerical methods (e.g.: finite element method, special numerical integrals). When an aspect of a model cannot be described in VHDL-AMS, the paper proposes to use software components. So, the aim of the paper is to propose a generic way to extend the computation capability of VHDL-AMS, by coupling the models described in VHDL-AMS with external ones specified as software components (where VHDL-AMS fails). The approach has been applied on several applications, among them the time simulation of an electrical plunger.
