solidThinking Activate enables product creators, system simulation and control engineers to model, simulate and optimize multi-disciplinary systems. By leveraging model based development Activate’s users can ensure that all design requirements are successfully met while also identifying system level problems early in the design process. Activate’s intuitive block diagram environment empowers users to rapidly build demonstrations of how real world systems function and easily try new ideas without any Product Highlights • Model based development of hybrid systems • Construct hierarchical, parameterized multi-disciplinary models • Mix signal-based and physical (Modelica) components in the same diagram • Easily extensible, built-in block libraries including library management • Model exchange or co-simulation through the Functional Mock-Up interface • Co-simulation with multi-body dynamics • Compile models into executable code Learn more: solidThinking.com/Activate i to build prototypes Benefits Improve system level performance Simulate and improve the dynamic behavior of any multi-disciplinary system using Activate. Activate makes it easy to model, simulate and validate smart systems where users can incorporate functions of sensing, actuation and control coming from diverse components. Design for robustness Model based development using Activate provides an efficient approach for establishing a common framework for communication throughout the design process. Perform what-if analyses at the system level to quickly test several designs and investigate the interactions of all components in a system. Gain functional insight early Activate empowers users to identify system level problems early in the design process while ensuring that all the design requirements are met. Activate provides its users with a standard set of predefined blocks that can easily be combined to model x-unique systems. Activate users can easily leverage the large library of Modelica physical components to further describe the plant and the controller. Capabilities Build diagrams intuitively • Drag, drop and connect paradigm to rapidly construct models • Multiple window configuration with the ability to modify diagrams between windows using the drag-and-drop and copy-and-paste operations • Support for concurrent loading of multiple models in a session Hybrid modeling Model and simulate continuous and discrete dynamic systems Multi-disciplinary modeling Real-world systems are multi-domain in nature. Activate allows users to model and simulate the combined system behavior of real world systems with support for multiple domains such as Mechanical, Electrical and so on
