Product catalog summary
Overview
Activate is a tool designed to improve system-level performance by simulating and enhancing the dynamic behavior of multi-disciplinary systems. It facilitates the modeling, simulation, and validation of smart systems by integrating functions of sensing, actuation, and control from diverse components.
Key Benefits
  • System Performance Improvement: Activate allows for the simulation and improvement of dynamic behaviors in systems.
  • Robust Design: It supports model-based development, enabling efficient communication throughout the design process and allowing for what-if analyses to test various designs.
  • Early Functional Insight: Users can identify system-level problems early in the design process, ensuring all design requirements are met.
Product Highlights
  • Model-Based Development: Supports hybrid systems and allows for the construction of hierarchical, parameterized multi-disciplinary models.
  • Component Integration: Mixes signal-based and physical (Modelica) components within the same diagram.
  • Extensible Libraries: Includes built-in block libraries and supports library management for custom applications.
  • Co-Simulation: Facilitates model exchange or co-simulation through the Functional Mock-Up Interface (FMI).
  • Executable Code Compilation: Models can be compiled into executable code for performance and IP protection.
Capabilities
  • Intuitive Diagram Building: Features a drag-and-drop interface for rapid model construction.
  • Hybrid and Multi-Disciplinary Modeling: Supports modeling and simulation of continuous and discrete dynamic systems across multiple domains.
  • Hierarchical and Parametric Modeling: Allows for the creation of hierarchical component-based models with flexible parameter management.
  • Physical Component Modeling: Utilizes Modelica for acausal modeling of physical components.
Optimization and Simulation
  • Optimization Tools: Includes blocks and tools for formulating and solving optimization problems.
  • Co-Simulation with Multi-Body Dynamics: Supports complex system simulations involving multi-body systems and control subsystems.
  • Linearization: Provides capabilities for creating linear models from Activate blocks.
Solver Types
  • Activate supports various solver types for different system requirements, including fixed and variable step-size solvers for non-stiff and stiff ODEs and DAEs.
