Model Based Design
Simplifying Complex Design Environments
Model Based Design (MBD) is a method for harnessing the power of sophisticated computer simulations in the design process. MBD enables design engineers to evaluate the relative performance of varied control parameters in a virtual environment.
Clients benefit from LHP Software’s years of experience utilizing MBD in control system software development. LHP’s consultative team approach delivers the best solutions for our customers, solving complex engineering challenges that result in increased speed to market, a crucial competitive advantage in a rapidly evolving global market. And, Model Based Design techniques are cost-effective to implement.
Model Based Design Approach
Model Based Design is especially useful in complex design environments where multiple parameters and functions impact the outcome. It has special applicability in the development of new systems and anywhere that a new control system is being applied to an existing product. LHP applies MBD to virtually any system that requires embedded capability. This includes engines, drive trains, and vehicle control systems, including critical On Board Diagnostic (OBD) capability; medical devices and software systems; mechatronics and component integration; and others. It has become an increasingly popular method of engineering design because it allows users to:
-
Run multi-parameter simulations in a fraction of the time conventional testing requires
-
Verify designs virtually through real-time analysis, modeling, and validation
-
Build confidence in design feasibility before manufacturing expensive prototypes
-
Automatically produce documentation for traceability and problem resolution
-
Increase competitive differentiation of control systems by building unique engineering features into the embedded software
|
MBD features enable customers to lower design costs while increasing product differentiation, and thus intellectual property value, of their products. It also reduces lead time, facilitates robust design, and enables rapid production scale.
