Overview of the SCADE LifeCycle Rapid Prototyper

• SCADE LifeCycle Rapid Prototyper enhances the simulation experience with powerful, easy-to-design, and interactive graphical panels.

• With SCADE LifeCycle Rapid Prototyper, software and simulation engineers can quickly build simulation control cockpits using components from a predefined, yet extensible, widget library.

• Application software and simulation results can be shared with suppliers, managers, stakeholders or customers through graphical interactive panels.

• Simulation control cockpits can be generated for either Windows, Android or Apple iOS mobile platforms

Driving ANSYS Simplorer simulation or simulating SCADE Suite software models


Driving ANSYS Simplorer Simulation

• Rapid Prototyper panels can be connected to ANSYS Simplorer to drive multi-physics simulation sessions in a more comfortable and interactive fashion

• The connection is achieved through the FMI/FMU co-simulation standard

ANSYS Simplorer (or any FMI compliant simulation tool)

FMU Adaptor

Rapid Prototyper


• FMI = Functional Mock-up Interface

• Objective: integration & co-simulation of hybrid systems

• Developed by European consortium MODELISAR (2008-2011), then Modelica Association Project

• Open-source specification, licensed under Creative Common and BSD (www.functional-mockup-interface.org)

• Main design point

o A component which implements the interface is called Functional Mockup Unit (FMU)

o A FMU is a zipped file (*.fmu), clearly segregating

• Description of interface data (XML file)

• Functionality (C code or binary)

Driving ANSYS Simplorer Simulation FMI/FMU Overview

• Generating an FMU component from any SCADE LifeCycle Rapid Prototyper model is as easy as pressing one button

Driving ANSYS Simplorer Simulation Workflow #1: Generate an FMU from the Rapid Prototyper


• ANSYS Simplorer allows importing FMU components

• Several Rapid Prototyper FMU components can be instantiated in the Simplorer Design Area, and interactive simulation can be performed

Driving ANSYS Simplorer Simulation Workflow #2: Insert an FMU to the Simplorer Model


Simulating SCADE Suite software

• Rapid Prototyper panels can be connected to SCADE Suite models to perform interactive simulation of SCADE Suite software models, and generate standalone graphical applications to be shared with suppliers, managers, stakeholders or customers

SCADE Suite

Native Connection

Rapid Prototyper


• Connections can be created from a dedicated SCADE Suite/Graphical Panels Connections window

Simulating SCADE Suite software Workflow #1: Connect SCADE Suite I/Os to Rapid Prototyper I/Os


• SCADE Suite Simulator is used for interactive simulation

Simulating SCADE Suite software Workflow #2: Launch SCADE Suite Interactive Simulation


Demonstration #1

• Requirement: « The left warning LED shall be lit when the plane roll value is inferior to -15°. The right warning LED shall be lit when the plane roll value is superior to 15°. »

• This requirement can either be implemented as a software component (described as a SCADE Suite model), or as an electrical component (described as an ANSYS Simplorer model).

A same/single SCADE LifeCycle Rapid Prototyper panel will be built and used to successively drive the electrical (in ANSYS Simplorer) and the software (in SCADE Suite) simulation.


Demonstration #2

• SCADE LifeCycle Rapid Prototyper can also be used to drive interactively a full scale 0-D simulation where ANSYS Simplorer is used to assemble a complete system model, including physical components (electrical, mechanical, fluidic) modeled in Simplorer, and software components developed as SCADE Suite models (for embedded SW controllers) or SCADE Display models (for embedded SW graphics).

Let’s take the example of a Car Cruise Control system.
