A method to interface auto-generated code into an object-oriented simulation framework

摘要

Sophisticated computer-based tool packages allow control system researchers to develop and analyze complex control systems from their desktops. ^Tools such as Matrix X and Matlab are capable of producing autogenerated code of control system diagrams as an output option. ^Validation requirements are greatly reduced when the auto-generated code can be directly installed into an engineering simulation program. ^The code produced by automatic code generators, however, is often cryptic and inflexible. ^Incorporating it elegantly into an object-oriented simulation requires forethought on the part of the simulation programmer. ^This paper presents a method of interfacing autogenerated code into a flexible, object-oriented simulation framework that maintains encapsulation of objects within the framework and does not compromise the design of the system. ^(Author)
