Preparing the Simcenter Amesim model

Add interface blocks for input/output variables

As we start with the Simcenter Amesim system used in the first part of this manual we already have a Simcenter Amesim system that is suitable. The ASBB export will only give access to variables on the ports (and the state variables).

Figure 43: Simcenter Amesim example model with standard Simulink interface blocks

The Simulink system is the same as that shown in the Figure 15 figure. Save the Simcenter Amesim model as skyhook.ame.

As we proceed in chapter 1.5, we use the AME2SL block to import the Simcenter Amesim model into the Simulink sketch. Once again, we need to select the imported Simcenter Amesim model and adjust the global parameter values. We recommended that you test your model with the final global parameter setup before creating the ASBB.
