Using multiple Simcenter Amesim - Simcenter 3D Motions

General remarks

multiple interfaces

• If Simcenter Amesim is the target environment (mode 1.1), the co-simulation blocks are completely independent (viewed as standard submodels by Simcenter Amesim). So, the possibilities of mixing different block settings on the same Simcenter Amesim sketch are theoretically not limited.

• It is possible to use several different Simcenter Amesim models in a single Simcenter 3D Motion system (and vice versa), but it is not possible to use the same Simcenter Amesim model several times in a single Simcenter 3D Motion system (and vice-versa).

• There are as many blocks used in the target environment as independent systems.

Advanced capabilities

Capability	Supported interface modes for blocks
Use N Simcenter 3D Motion blocks in Simcenter Amesim Use N Simcenter 3D Motion blocks with different solver types (variable/fixed-step) or solver settings in Simcenter Amesim1	Co-simulation: Simcenter Amesim as Master (Simcenter 3D Motion as Slave) Co-simulation: Simcenter Amesim as Master (Simcenter 3D Motion as Slave)
Use N Simcenter Amesim blocks in Simcenter 3D Motion	Co-simulation: Simcenter Amesim as Slave (Simcenter 3D Motion as Master) Model Exchange: Export of Simcenter Amesim model into Simcenter 3D Motion
Both Co-simulation: Simcenter Amesim as Slave (Simcenter 3D Motion as Master) and Model Exchange: Export of Simcenter Amesim model into Motion
Use N Simcenter Amesim blocks with different solver types (variable/fixed-step) or solver settings in Simcenter 3D Motion1	Co-simulation: Simcenter Amesim as Slave (Simcenter 3D Motion as Master)
1. This capability only applies to co-simulation modes - not to model exchange modes - since no solvers are embedded in model exchange blocks.
