Model.CONNECT™ is an open model integration and co-simulation platform connecting virtual and real components into one functional prototype. It provides flexibility and cross-compatibility of the simulation tools within AVL’s Integrated and Open Development Platform (IODP).

• New Python interface component
  • A simple and fast way to develop custom interfaces and tool-couplings based on Python
  • Interface specification inspired by the FMI standard
  • Flexible choice of Python version
• FMI 3.0 beta.4
  • As driving member in the Modelica FMI standardization group, we already implemented first FMI 3.0 support
  • More features can be expected in autumn release
• Performance improvements
  • An additional performance boost of up to 43% for our highly optimized coupling mechanism “parallel fast”
  • Minimum co-simulation overhead with in-process coupling
  • Optimal coupling of models with different time-step sizes
• Connection properties list
  • You can use this list to get a clear overview of all connections in your co-simulation topology
  • Now you can also review and edit the connection properties from there
• Import parameter values from DCM files
  • Import parameter sets for your simulation models from DCM files
  • Integrates perfectly into the virtual calibration workflow with e.g., INCA
• Many fixes and usability improvements
