Addons provide personalised simulation

An Adept Scientific product story

For modelling and simulation of systems, Adept Scientific reckons there is no other software on the PC which can match VisSim for a combination of power and usability.

For modelling and simulation of systems, Adept Scientific reckons there is no other software on the PC which can match VisSim for a combination of power and usability.

However, its power and breadth of application can be extended with several custom packages and addons.

These make VisSim even more applicable to certain sectors.

For example, engineers are shortening the development cycle of motion and motor control systems using VisSim/Motion, a package that includes a prebuilt library that simulates motors, controllers, sensors, transforms, loads and voltage sources.

Five high-fidelity motor models, including AC induction, brushless DC (PMSM), and stepper motor models are included.

VisSim/Embedded Controls Developer is software for the rapid prototyping and creation of embedded controllers for the Texas Instruments C2000 DSPs.

With this, designers can build a model of their entire systems, including the control algorithm and the plant, generate production code, and then download the code to the target DSP.

VisSim/Real-TimePro extends the power of VisSim by integrating a simulation with a physical process for real-time hardware-in-the-loop simulation and validation.

The interface to real-world hardware is through computer I/O cards, high-speed motion control interface cards, or serial port connections to a PLC or DCS.

No code generation or programming is involved in configuring an HIL system with VisSim/Real-TimePRO.

Anyone who is modelling a braking and suspension system, the trajectory of a missile or the cost of a shipment and scheduling system, will be able to find the optimal values for the design variables using VisSim/OptimizePRO.

It can calculate the optimal PID controller gains that give minimal time to setpoint, plus minimal overshoot by allowing the user to specify cost functions such as steady-state error, and rise and settling times.
