How to couple Simulink and GT-Suite?

Hey everyone,

I have a system model of a vehicle in GT and would like to implement a controller that is generated in Simulink.

I have never done this before. What add-ons do I need for this, Simulink Coder or Simulink Compiler? or do I need any add-ons at all?

Can someone write it down step by step how to do this?

Many thanks

Hi,

I understand that you have a system model of a vehicle in GT and would like to implement a controller that is generated in Simulink, that is you want to couple Simulink and GT-SUITE.

Simulink can be connected to each of the GT-SUITE application domains to offer a versatile environment for researching and creating control solutions. The Simulink model can consist of control systems or any physical system that interacts with the GT-SUITE model. You can integrate using Functional Markup Unit (FMU), S-Function and many other techniques to integrate with custom C and C++ codes.

Simulink Coder is used to generate C and C++ Code from Simulink and State flow models. One can find Simulink Coder under Quick Start tool in Apps gallery. You can also go through Get Add-Ons and various apps that already present in Quick Start tool as per the requirement.
