Abstract

Simulation-based testing has been found to be an effective testing technique for complex systems. One of the prevalent modeling and simulation tools is MATLAB/Simulink, which allows, among other advantages, the integration of software with complex mathematical models and automatic code generation. However, we found a set of limitations with this tool in the vertical transport domain, where different elevator car instances need to be simultaneously simulated during the test and validation stages. To solve these limitations, this paper presents a co-simulation architecture that is capable of simulating several elevator car instances both in a single computer as well as in a distributed manner in multiple computers. We evaluated the approach with an industrial case study. The results of our evaluation suggest that the proposed tool is appropriate to simulate up to 14 elevator car instances simultaneously.

多路复用:电梯验证的联合仿真体系结构

基于仿真的测试是一种有效的复杂系统测试技术。其中一个流行的建模和仿真工具是MATLAB/Simulink，它允许，除其他优点外，集成软件与复杂的数学模型和自动代码生成。然而，我们发现该工具在垂直运输领域存在一系列限制，在测试和验证阶段需要同时模拟不同的电梯轿厢实例。为了解决这些限制，本文提出了一种联合仿真体系结构，既可以在一台计算机上模拟多个电梯轿厢实例，也可以在多台计算机上以分布式的方式模拟多个电梯轿厢实例。我们通过一个工业案例研究来评估这种方法。我们的评估结果表明，所提出的工具适合同时模拟多达14个电梯轿厢实例。
