Port MODELACCESS 🛈¶

Stimulation¶

Stimulation is supported only for signals in the Simulink model. Parameters cannot be stimulated.

Restrictions:

Stimulus input signals are not supported.
Trace files being referenced by a DataFileSegment in an STI file are not converted automatically by ecu.test.

Supported execution modes¶

Preferred time source/mode: Stepwise simulation time

Real-time:: To use real-time mode, the Test configuration in the Execution tab must be configured as the source ‘real time’.
Stepwise simulation time:: To use the stepwise simulation mode, the port in the Test configuration in the Execution tab must be selected and the mode set to ‘stepwise’.
Continuous simulation time:: To use the continuous simulation mode, the port in the Test configuration in the Execution tab must be selected and the mode set to ‘continuous’.

Properties 🛈¶

Name	Available if	Default value	Type	Description
Model configuration
Model file	Model configuration		string	File with model description
Support for online model querying	Model configuration	☑	bool	(De-)Activates the interface for online querying of model information by the test configuration
Load model values successively	Model configuration	☑	bool	Specifies that when the model values are queried online, only those which are currently required (“lazy loading”) are loaded. Should be used on very large models to speed initial tool start and reduce memory usage. Choose “False” to load all model values at once, which slows down configuration startup, but will improve performance during test case development.
Load base workspace	Model configuration	☐	bool	Load variables, signals, and parameters from the base workspace and the model workspace of the main model during configuration start. They will be displayed in a separate node in the model tree. Because this has performance implications during configuration start, this option should only be enabled if these entities are actually needed.
Get sample times from model	Model configuration	☐	bool	Gather all sample times that are available in the model and make them accessible as “acquisition rate” in signal mappings. This may lead to an additional model compilation pass and thus may have negative performance implications during configuration start. Especially with big models or a high count of referenced models.
Replace Function-Call-Inports	Model configuration	☐	bool	When using Export Function Models, ecu.test may replace Function-Call-Inports with Function-Call-Generators automatically. Details are described in the user documentation.
Terminate model after configuration start	Model configuration	☐	bool	Normally the model is in compiled state after the configuration start. With this option it can be terminated instead.
Simulation behavior
Automatically start/stop simulation	Simulation behavior	☑	bool	If this option is activated, the simulation will be started before the test run and stopped afterwards
Use Fast Restart mode	Simulation behavior	☐	bool	Activates the Fast Restart mode for the model. See documentation for details and restrictions.
Record model states	Simulation behavior	☐	bool	Activates the recording of model states and shows them in the model access tree.

Jobs 🛈¶

FastRestartOff¶

Deactivates Fast Restart

Return value

Name	Available if	Default value	Valid values	Type	Description
result				/	No return value

FastRestartOn¶

Activates Fast Restart

Return value

Name	Available if	Default value	Valid values	Type	Description
result				/	No return value

FastRestartStatus¶

Is Fast Restart currently active or will it be activated upon next simulation start?

Return value

Name	Available if	Default value	Valid values	Type	Description
result			[False, True]	bool	Fast restart activation status

StartSimulation¶

May be used to start the simulation within a package, e.g. if the simulation isn’t started automatically upon package start (see test bench option).

Parameter

Name	Available if	Default value	Valid values	Type	Description
isAsynchronous		False	[False, True]	bool	Activates the asynchronous execution of StartSimulation. The job returns immediately without waiting for a successful simulation start

Name	Available if	Default value	Valid values	Type	Description
result				/	No return value

StopSimulation¶

May be used to stop the simulation within a package
