Abstract

Simulation of complex systems usually requires that heterogeneous models be integrated into a single simulation environment. Because these models are often developed by different teams, or depend on various commercial simulation tools (such as SimulinkTM, DymolaTM or SystemBuildTM), considerable effort is expended in configuring the corresponding components into a cohesive co-simulation. As part of its research and development efforts, Opal-RT has developed RT-LAB Orchestra, a software application that facilitates integration and interoperability between co-simulation components. RT-LAB Orchestra is an application-level data communication layer that sits on top of Opal-RT’s RTLAB framework, a proven real-time architecture for distributed simulations.
