The Basic Module of SimulationX software is the prerequisite module for using the platform for an integrated system design, modeling and analysis. The therein integrated TypeDesigner is the tool to adapt existing and to design own model element types, it can be also used as Modelica Smart Editor. The Basic Module also includes: the libraries General Signal Blocks, COM Interface, External Function Interface and PrintEngine.
The simulations can be done in time or frequency domain. Either the transient simulation for computing linear and non-linear system behavior or the steady-state simulation to compute models in a periodically steady-state condition (non-linear or linear) are available.
Domains and libraries pool model elements according to physical application aspects. The pre-assembled element types provided shorten significantly the modeling effort.
Options and interfaces complete the tools for an integrated system and structure analysis (e.g. equilibrium computation, linear system analysis, variant computation) respectively for the connection to other CAx products, data bases and optimization tools.
Plug-Ins procedure extends the functionality of SimulationX by embedding external (Modelica) libraries, StateChart Designer and Virtual Machine.
For different user profiles differently configured programs are available. You decide whether the end user (for instance your customer, to whom you provide your simulation models) can alter the models or can only vary parameters.

The SimulationX interfaces couple SimulationX models with CAE, CAD, CAM, CAO, FEA/FEM, CFD, MBS or any other calculation software tools. The coupling ensures the data exchange between the tools and thus the advantages of your tools and our simulation software complement one another.
SimulationX provides many interfaces to external programs for different purposes and applications:
SimulationX provides a generic co-simulation interface. This general co-simulation library provides general-purpose blocks which can be tailored to almost any other simulation tool. The communication is achieved via TCP/IP. Preconfigured and ready-to-use co-simulation solutions are available for MATLAB/Simulink , MSC, Adams, Simpack, FLUENT, Cadmould and others.
Data and model import
Import filter are available for numerical data (1D/2D/3D directories) and CAD data.
Model export
The model export function contains the export of linear system models and the export of complete SimulationX models as C-Code. The code can be generated for stand-alone executables, Simulink S-functions and other targets, being used in HiL-, RCP- or SiL applications.
Optimization, DOE and DFSS techniques
SimulationX has interfaces to various optimization tools (CAO) enabling to find design parameter automatically. This modern solution integrates system modeling, simulation and analysis with SimulationX and enlarges the application for a faster avaluation of alternatices. For the interaction with SimulationX different optimization interfaces are available: OptiY, OptiSLang and modelFRONTIER.
Scripting
A comprehensive COM interface allows the communication between SimulationX and other Windows applications. Any operation, which can be performed interactively, can also be controlled by a script. This feature is useful for user-defined batch runs, embedded simulation, parameter studies, or optimizations.
FMEA
SimulationX offers a complete interface for FMEA applications. In contrast to other CAE tools SimulationX includes a coherent 1D/3D modeling and simulation platform for many physical domains such as mechanics, hydraulics, thermal, electrics and magnetics.
