Abstract
The systematic engineering of Cyber-Physical Systems is a challenging endeavour. In order to manage the complexity of such multi-disciplinary development collaborative modelling and co-simulation has been proposed. In this setting models are made of different constituent models with different mathematical formalisms using different tools. This paper demonstrates how this can be achieved for a commercial system developed by MAN Diesel & Turbo using such a co-simulation approach. The tool chain is centered around a de-facto standard called Functional Mock-up Interface, and it is open for any tools that can support version 2.0 of this standard for co-simulation. The application support emission reduction control systems for large two-stroke engines which is strategically important. It is demonstrated how this approach can reduce the need for expensive tests on the real system in order to reduce the overall costs of validation.
