The new 2.1 version of the CANoe/MATLAB Interface simplifies data exchange between the two standard tools considerably, and MATLAB models may be parameterized directly from CANoe. Vector is supplying the interface free-of-charge, and it is part of every CANoe license effective immediately.
The interface consists of a Simulink blockset that is used by development
engineers in prototyping functions and applications, integrating complex
Simulink models in CANoe simulations and developing control algorithms in
real-time applications. The interface offers various paths for data exchange
between CANoe and MATLAB. The CANoe simulation and the Simulink
models can communicate directly via a signal interface or via CANoe
environment and system variables. Because the interface is signal-oriented,
the user no longer needs to specifically adapt models to the CAN, LIN or
FlexRay bus systems. CANoe handles the sending of data via the specific
bus system completely, and this keeps the models free of bus-specific
content.
Simulations in real time (HIL) may be implemented by linking CANoe and
MATLAB directly. This involves the user generating code from a Simulink
model that is executed by CANoe. A generated application model may be
transferred free-of-charge, i.e. without incurring additional MATLAB licensing
fees.
The Simulink Model Viewer integrated in CANoe gives users who do not
have a MATLAB license a detailed look at the MATLAB/Simulink simulation
node models and enables direct access to internal model parameters.
The symbolic selection dialog for signals and variables from CANoe that
users find familiar and easy to understand is also available in Simulink.
