In the last decade, electronic systems have become increasingly complex. The number of func-tionalities built on one chip have risen enormously. To solve the problem of cost and flexibility for such sophisticated, systems the usage of mixed hardware software systems has increased. Due to the complexity, the system development has become more and more difficult and the simulation and evaluation ...

The major obstacle to extensive use of cokriging for integration of multiple data types in estimation is the requirement of modeling a positive definite covariance matrix of size K by K including up toK different terms if K coregionalized variables are considered. In practice, this matrix is modeled using a linear model of coregionalization (LMC); each covariance is modeled by a different linea...

In this paper, a new Computer Aided Design (CAD) methodology for the Processor-In-the-Loop (PIL) cosimulation and Rapid Control Prototyping (RCP) of a Quadrotor Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) type of Unmanned Arial Vehicle (UAV) is proposed and successfully implemented around an embedded NI myRIO-1900 target and a host PC. The developed software (SW) and hardware (HW) prototyping platform...

In this study, the channel estimation technique for OFDM systems based on Artificial Neural Networks is investigated. This is realized by cosimulation environment to utilize the advantages of different modeling programs. In this cosimulation, Advanced Desing System (ADS 2005A) and MATLAB programs have been used. Both transmitter and receiver of OFDM system and the transmission medium are design...

A two dimensional numerical model of shallow water equations was developed tocalculate sub and super-critical open channel flows. Utilizing an implicit scheme the steady stateequations were discretized based on control volume method. Collocated grid arrangement was appliedwith a SIMPLEC like algorithm for depth-velocity coupling. Power law scheme was used fordiscretization of convection and dif...

To perform cosimulation, an interface design of VHDL simulation is needed. This interface is responsible for communicating packets between any VHDL simulator and the cosimulation backplane, PeaCE, which is a Ptolemy extension as codesign environment. The interface also manages the simulation for correct timed cosimulation. By the automatic interface generation mechanism, the interface is genera...

The goals of this study were to develop a simplified finite element knee model, cosimulate this model with the motion of knee flexion/extension to demonstrate the concept of cosimulation, and choose an integrator to maximize the efficiency of the cosimulation process. A simplified model of the knee was used to simulate flexion/extension in FEBio. The femur was modeled as a fixed, rigid body, th...
