RealSim - Realtime Simulation for Multi-Physics Systems

The RealSim project is part of the IST-Program of the European Commission under contract IST-1999-11979.

The primary goals of this project are:

  • To develop tools for efficient simulation of complex, tightly-coupled multi-physics systems, with real-time constraints.
  • To reduce product development cost and time by design optimization and by hardware-in-the-loop simulation for assessment, training and test automation purposes.

In order to reach these goals for realistic industrial products, the project is divided into 

Technology development:

  • Modeling of multi-physics systems with the Modelica modeling language (popular description).
  • Symbolic transformation of large scale Modelica models (> 100 000 equations) to generate efficient C-code for real-time applications.
  • Parallel and distributed simulation to enhance the performance of hardware-in-the-loop simulation and of multi-criteria optimization.
  • Multi-criteria optimization based on distributed simulations.
  • Closely integrated Modelica modeling and simulation environment with interactive experimentation, design optimization and visualization.

End-user applications to assess and demonstrate the technology:

  • Design optimization of industrial robots.
  • Realtime simulation of power system transients.
