The hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation workflow shows you how to use Simulink® Real-Time™ to download and execute a real-time application that you generate from your Simscape™ model. You can also check for simulation overruns and change run-time parameters for your plant-based application on a real-time target using Simulink Real-Time.
Hardware-In-The-Loop Simulation Workflow
Follow the hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation workflow to deploy a Simscape model to your real-time target machine using Simulink Coder™ and Simulink Real-Time.
What Is Hardware-In-The-Loop Simulation?
Use hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation to check how your controller responds, in real time, to realistic virtual stimuli.
Follow the recommendations for minimum hardware and software specifications to deploy your Simscape model for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation using Simulink Real-Time.
