VisSim:
Rapid
Application Development
A fast,
simple to use tool for simulating control systems and other dynamic models,
VisSim's visual block diagram interface offers a simple method for constructing,
modifying and maintaining complex system models. By allowing you to design,
test and prototype systems in software, it saves costs, improves efficiency
and gets you faster to market.
VisSim's
simulation engine provides fast and accurate solutions for linear, nonlinear,
continuous time, discrete time, time varying and hybrid system designs.
With VisSim, users can quickly develop software or "virtual"
prototypes of systems or processes to demonstrate their behaviour prior
to building physical prototypes. Built-in integration tools allow users
to communicate seamlessly with MATLAB and Maple.
To build
a system model, simply select pre-defined blocks from VisSim's block library
and "wire" (graphically connect on-screen) them into a diagram.
Each block of the diagram performs a mathematical or input/output function.
These "blocks" may represent complex algorithms, input variables,
or various outputs like graphs, charts, plots or data files. You can also
create custom blocks in C, Fortran or Pascal and add them to the VisSim
block library. A VisSim/SIMULINK Translator
allows SIMULINK users to import SIMULINK v.2, v.3, v.4 and v.5 block diagrams
directly into VisSim.
After
you have configured the model, just run the simulation and see the results
displayed.
Once
the behaviour of the system model is understood, often the next step is
to develop a "software" controller that will control the behaviour
of the model and eventually the physical system itself. In the above example,
a motion control engineer developed a system model of an AC Induction
Motor and then developed a "software" PID controller to control
the torque, velocity and position of the motor.
VisSim
product options include VisSim/Analyze,
for frequency domain analysis, and VisSim/Real-Time,
for real-time hardware-in-the-loop validation.
The VisSim/C-Code
add-on automatically generates ANSI C code for the model/controller/algorithm.
The C code can be compiled and run on any platform that supports an ANSI
C compiler.
