SOLUTIONS / THE AUTOMOTIVE TOOLCHAIN

Evaluate the system.
Not just the specification.

From a compact ECU bench to an integrated lab workflow, the right choice depends on your application, interfaces, constraints, and future programs.

01 / HARDWARE-IN-THE-LOOP

A HIL bench built
around your ECU.

Assess real-time compute, I/O, signal conditioning, network simulation, and the software needed to operate the bench together.

Discuss a HIL requirement

Questions to bring into the evaluation

  • What loop timing and workload must the target meet?
  • Which analog, digital, PWM, and bus interfaces are mandatory?
  • What fault insertion and electrical protection are required?
  • How will plant models, diagnostics, and test cases connect?
  • Can the configuration expand without replacing the bench?
02 / AUTOMOTIVE SOFTWARE

Software that fits
your engineering workflow.

Evaluate how a tool handles your data, models, test cases, and interfaces. Include licensing, automation, and the learning curve in the decision.

Evaluate a software tool

Simulation & models

Plant modeling, real-time execution, SIL, and model exchange.

Test automation

Test authoring, orchestration, regression, and reporting.

Networks & diagnostics

Bus analysis, restbus simulation, diagnostics, and ECU access.

Measurement & calibration

Acquisition, analysis, calibration workflows, and data export.

03 / INTEGRATION BEFORE COMMITMENT

Compatibility is
something to verify.

Interface support on a datasheet is a starting point. Check versions, options, and behavior using your own workflow.

Test interoperability

Where applicable, examine ASAM XIL support for connecting test automation and test benches.

ASAM XIL reference

Model portability

Where applicable, examine FMI model exchange or co-simulation support and the versions your toolchain needs.

FMI reference

Cost over the lifecycle

Compare licenses, maintenance, training, integration effort, expansion, and dependencies alongside the purchase price.

START WITH YOUR APPLICATION

Different programs.
Different priorities.

Electrified powertrain & BMS Body & comfort electronics Chassis & motion control ADAS & domain controllers

Application examples for scoping a conversation. Technical feasibility is assessed for each engagement.
