Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for a system to find at least one behavioral-like alternative component to an original component of the system.
- the system may be, for example, a motor vehicle or a ship or an aircraft or a simulator.
- the invention also includes an apparatus for carrying out the method according to the invention.
- Such indications may be, for example, the description of the physical structure or the blueprint or an indication of which signal type is an input signal or an output signal of the component.
- the invention has for its object to find a behavior-like alternative component for a system to an original component.
- the object is solved by the subject matters of the independent claims.
- Advantageous developments of the invention will become apparent from the features of the dependent claims.
- a method for a system, for example a motor vehicle or a ship or an aircraft or a simulation device, in order to find at least one behavior-like alternative component to an original component of the system.
- at least one potential or possible or possible alternative component is provided, which is characterized in that it has at least one input port and at least one output port, as it also has the original component in each case.
- Each alternative component thus has on the input side and on the output side in each case at least one port which corresponds in each case to one port of the original component, that is to say in each case a port for a temperature signal and / or a generated torque.
- An input port is a signal input; an output port is a signal output.
- the original component and each possible alternative component are acted upon at their respective at least one input port with a respective test signal.
- the original component and every possible alternative component are operated under the same input conditions, namely with the same test signal (or with the same test signals in the case of several input ports).
- a respective output signal is detected in each case at the at least one output port.
- the output signal thus describes a respective time profile of a reaction to the at least one test signal.
- each output signal of the at least one output port describes the dynamic behavior of the respective component, ie the original component or the possible alternative component. Now the original component and every possible alternative component are compared in pairs.
- a respective error signal is now formed from each output signal of each output port of the original component and the output signal of the corresponding output port of the possible alternative component.
- the error signal may be formed, for example, as a difference signal or by dividing one of the output signals by the other output signal. The error signal thus describes a behavioral difference with respect to the respective output signal.
- each error signal is then combined into a respective indicator value.
- the indicator value is a scalar value by which the entire error signal is represented or described.
- a set of multiple indicator values thus results for each component pair.
- a key behavior indicator is formed as a whole, which is also referred to below as the SVI (Key Behavior Indicator).
- the SVI may e.g. be a vector formed from the indicator values. If there is only one indicator value, it can be used as SVI.
- the Key Behavior Index provides a single indication of how different the dynamic behavior of the original component, on the one hand, and the possible alternative component, on the other hand, is with respect to the at least one test signal.
- the key indicator value fulfills a predetermined similarity criterion.
- the similarity criterion depends on the indicator values used and on the way the key indicator value is formed.
- the key indicator value is preferably formed in the described manner by combining the indicator values into a vector.
- the similarity criterion can be defined as a distance measure, in particular as a Euclidean distance. For example, it may be provided as a similarity criterion that the distance must be smaller than a predetermined maximum distance.
- each selected alternative component, for which the similarity criterion is thus met is provided as the sought-after at least one behavioral-like alternative component. It is similar in behavior in that, based on the error signals and the resulting indicator values, it has been shown that the key indicator value satisfies the similarity criterion.
- the invention provides the advantage that the comparison of the original component with any possible alternative component is formed on the basis of a similarity of the dynamic behavior of the components. Thus, a statement is made about how similar the compared components will behave in the operation of the system.
- a signal standard can be calculated.
- a suitable signal standard is the L2 standard, which is also referred to as L2 gain or L2 gain.
- Another suitable signal standard is the peak-to-peak standard, also called peak-to-peak gain or peak-to-peak gain or L ⁇ gain.
- RMS - root mean square From the error signal, a weighted average or RMS value (RMS - root mean square) can also be calculated.
- the relevance of individual deviations is taken into account.
- the associated error signal is divided by the test signal provided at the input port or one of the input ports.
- a value formed from the error signal for example one of the described signal standards, is divided by a value formed from the test signal, for example likewise a signal standard.
- a respective Bode diagram of the original component and / or a respective Bode diagram of the possible alternative component is used to form at least one error signal.
- the Bode diagram advantageously takes into account in which frequency range a gain or a gain on the one hand and / or a phase response on the other hand are relevant for the operation of the components.
- Another development makes it possible to make the supply of behavioral alternative components particularly large.
- at least one input port and / or at least one output port are each provided with a signal adaptation device for unit conversion. This has the advantage that even those components can be recognized as behaving like whose input port and / or output port provides a signal with another unit, for example, a different scale and / or a different representation of the same physical facts.
- the comparison of components is also possible across different digital implementations or digital circuits.
- at least one output signal of one component is adjusted by a sampling device to the corresponding output signal of the other component with respect to the sampling rate.
- an output signal of the original component is matched to the corresponding output signal with which an error signal is to be formed together, or vice versa.
- an output signal to a test signal so an input signal, be aligned.
- test signal is limited to a frequency range and / or time-domain range.
- the test signal is not an arbitrary signal sequence or an arbitrary waveform used, but the test signal is adapted or limited with respect to the frequency range and / or its time course to that only the relevant during operation frequency components and / or time histories are checked.
- the test signal is limited in terms of frequency and / or time profile to a range in which, during operation of the original component, a corresponding excitation signal (ie the signal which is simulated or simulated by the test signal) has a predetermined minimum portion of a signal energy.
- each test signal may be formed, for example, first on the basis of a chirp signal or a sum of scaled harmonics or on the basis of a step function or a noise signal, for example a Gaussian noise or a pseudorandom binary noise signal.
- a noise signal for example a Gaussian noise or a pseudorandom binary noise signal.
- Another embodiment provides to use as a test signal a corresponding excitation signal which has been detected or recorded during operation of the system with the original component. The test signal is then particularly authentic.
- a development is provided specifically for the case that the system is a simulation device.
- a simulation device can be provided, for example, to develop, for example, a motor vehicle or an aircraft or a ship.
- Such a simulation device may be part of an engineering system or development system.
- the original component can be a first dynamic model of a subarea or module of a product to be developed, for example a motor vehicle or aircraft or ship.
- Each possible alternative component is provided by a respective dynamic model, but different from the first dynamic model in terms of a model aspect.
- first dynamic model an alternative component
- alternative dynamic model an alternative dynamic model
- the first dynamic model and each alternative dynamic model differ in that the first dynamic model only provides an overview and simulates every further dynamic model, that is to say each alternative component, a greater degree of detail or additional technical aspects.
- the original component is a simulation model of a module to be developed, for example of the motor vehicle or of the ship or of the aircraft, and each possible alternative component is a dynamic simulation model which has a greater degree of detail than the original component and / or an additional technical aspect with regard to replicates the original component.
- a staggered development process can take place, in which a suitable dynamic model can be determined for a next or subsequent development step, which models a greater degree of detail and / or additional technical aspects, and however with respect to those in the preceding development aspects how the first dynamic model behaves.
- the first dynamic model for an electric machine may determine whether the electric machine behaves as desired with respect to drive torque and / or coil currents.
- an alternative component that is to say another dynamic model
- a dynamic behavior of the electric machine which is similar with respect to the similarity criterion, for example with respect to drive torque and / or Coil currents results in which, however, in addition, for example, a temperature behavior and / or a noise development of the electric machine can be modeled.
- the user then does not have to elaborate or search for a new, dynamic model.
- the difference in detail level may be related to a temporal resolution of operations and / or to a number of variables of the model.
- the first dynamic model and at least one alternative dynamic model differ in that they are provided in a different programming language. In other words, dynamic models that are provided for different simulation devices can be compared here.
- RFAD RFAD - Requirements Functions Abstract Components Discipline Specific Components
- MLD models MLD - Mixed Logical Dynamical Model
- This step from an abstract model to a concrete model usually requires elaborate testing phases, since it can not be said with certainty via a simulation model whether it correctly replicates the abstract modeled processes of the MLD model.
- an simulation model provided as a behavior-like alternative component for a predefined simulator is determined in an RFAD process for an MLD model as the original component.
- This has the advantage that the comparison of the models is carried out on the basis of the key behavior indicator (SVI) without the intervention of the user.
- the invention also includes a device.
- the device according to the invention is designed to apply at least one test signal to an original component and an alternative component. In particular, several test signals are required when each component has multiple input ports.
- the device is furthermore designed to detect a respective time profile of an output signal in the case of the original component and the alternative component, which results in response to the at least one test signal, that is to say describes this reaction.
- the device has a control device which is designed to carry out an embodiment of the method according to the invention.
- the device according to the invention can be designed, for example, as a test stand, in particular for technical modules or technical devices, or as a simulation device.
- the control device can be provided, for example, by a processor device and / or a computer.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of an embodiment of the device according to the invention
- FIG. 3 shows a sketch for illustrating a component comparison, as it can be carried out with the method according to the invention
- FIG 4, and 6 shows a sketch to illustrate an RFAD
- the device 1 shows a device 1, which may be, for example, a test stand or a simulation device.
- the original component 2 may be a simulation model (Model 1) and the alternative component 3 may be a simulation model (Model 2) of another simulator, so that the two simulation models may be provided in different simulation languages.
- the alternative component 3 has a similar dynamic behavior as the original component 2, wherein the similarity can be predetermined by a predetermined similarity criterion, eg a distance criterion.
- the original component 2 and the alternative component 3 may each have input ports 4, 5 which may be configured to receive the same signal type, respectively.
- Corresponding input ports are provided in FIG. 1 with the same reference numerals.
- each input port 4, 5 of the original component 2 and the alternative component 3 with the same test signal 6, 7 (ui, u m ) are acted upon.
- ellipsis 8 illustrates that more or fewer than the illustrated two input ports may be provided.
- Components 2, 3 (ie, the original component 2 and the alternative component 3), each component 2, 3 depending on the at least one test signal 6, 7 each generate at least one output signal 9, 10. It can be provided here that the original component 2 and the alternative component 3 have corresponding output ports 11, 12, ie output ports 11, 12 which have the same signal type or a signal type converted by a unit conversion.
- the unit conversion may, for example, be provided by a program module.
- an error signal 15, 16 can be formed, for example, by a difference formation 14.
- Each error signal 15, 16 can describe a time profile of the behavioral difference between the components 2, 3.
- the error signal 15, 16 is thus each a time-dependent signal, in particular no scalar.
- a key behavior indicator 18 can be formed by the device on the basis of a behavioral criterion 17, which will be described in more detail below.
- the key behavior indicator 18 is in particular a scalar or vector, that is to say the time profiles of the error signals 15, 16 are combined to form a scalar or a vector.
- a vector In the case of a vector, the latter has, in particular, fewer vector entries than each error signal 15, 16 signal values.
- a step S1 it is checked whether the original components 2 and the possible alternative components 2 have suitable input and output structures, that is, corresponding input ports 4, 5 and output ports 9, 10 (STRUC structural criterion). It is a prerequisite for behavioral model comparisons that the external connection arrangements of the model match. This means that for each input port or input port and each output port or output port, one variable must exist in a model of the same causality and data type in another model, or vice versa. This assignment must be bijective.
- connection variables be formed in the physical unit. In case of deviations of the units a unit conversion can be provided.
- a statistical and dynamic degree of similarity (by the behavioral criterion 17) can be determined.
- Quantitative behavioral criteria are applied for all model pairs that are compatible with the structural criterion, ie that can be determined on the basis of the existing input ports 4, 5u and output ports 9, 10.
- Resampling is a standardized technique that can be easily performed.
- RMS Root-Mean-Square
- Each of these indicator values compares two models. In other words, the criterion forms pairwise similar indicator values of some given behavioral models.
- the indicator values are combined in a vector for key behavior indicators, SVI:
- Suitable test signals 6, 7 for the comparison can be taken from the theory of system identification. They should have the following properties:
- Jump signals or step signals Pseudo-random binary noise signals Gaussian noise
- the requirements formally formulated for the system can be evaluated in order to limit the test signals and to identify the relevant frequency and time ranges. This observation is crucial because it significantly reduces complexity; the complete examination of the value ranges of the model variables can in some cases be too complex to put into practice.
- step S2 two behavioral models have been identified as behaviorally similar having similar behavior, and which are interconnected or associated with each other, they may be used in an interactive modeling scenario, such as the design decision support system, always be used together again.
- the alternative component 3 may be provided to a user e.g. be proposed as an alternative to the original component 2.
- Step S3 are stored (STR - Store). This is illustrated in FIG. 3, wherein the e.g. the SVI (Model, Model2) is abbreviated as S12.
- SVI Model, Model2
- a sensible approach is to create a cluster (graphs) of structurally identical model types (nodes) and store the key behavior indicator SVI of each pair (edges). This scheme can be easily done e.g. shown in a table.
- the providers of complex systems can thus provide large repositories of behavioral models at different levels of abstraction in different languages.
- these data stores are heterogeneous.
- These heterogeneous data stores reflect a significant portion of the intellectual property of the sellers.
- the described method can overcome the problem of finding a way to relate the models to the data repositories so as to find the models which describe the same technical processes in different ways, eg once under the aspect of temperature behavior and once under aspect fuel consumption.
- the stored calculated key behavior indicator SVI can also be used by an automation tool to either assist the user with suggestions or find alternative or similar solutions.
- Another possibility of this method is the automatic generation of identical models.
- a previous system evaluation may use an Amesim format as a modeling and simulation tool.
- testing of control algorithms in real hardware may require, for example, Simulink or another simulator format, eg, for a test setup or test stand or simulation. Assuming that it contains stored calculated match values for a An Amesim original component and a Simulink alternative component, these can be used to produce a behavioral or at least behavioral-like component
- the dynamic model difference is reduced to a numeric value for each criterion.
- Behavioral matches can be particularly advantageous in model-based application scenarios, such as:
- the invention can be extended so that the variables are formed in different behavioral models with the same constellation.
- FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 a model-based application scenario is described for this purpose.
- two Amesim representations (submodels in Amesim language) of a DC electric motor DC are compared with self-excitation.
- FIG. 5 illustrates the generation of the test signals 6, 7 and the evaluation of the error signals 9, 10 by a control device 21 of the device 1.
- the control device 21 may e.g. be provided by a processor device or a computer.
- each model would be simulated by itself with a given input, and the verification of the criterion would be separate from the simulation.
- an interface 19 between the test bench 20 and the device 1 may be provided, as illustrated in FIG. 4 and FIG.
- FIG. 6 which can be used in a "prerequisite functions-abstraction components-behavior-specific component n development process (RFAD process).
- behavioral model refers to dynamic models that contain time-dependent variables that can change over time.
- a behavioral model may be used to describe operational aspects of physical reality or the behavior of the software, and may in particular describe a combination of both.
- the behavioral and architectural models that are at the same level of abstraction are linked together, and behavioral models are usually created in commercial modeling software programs, such as MATLAB.
- Modeler or Esterei SCADE.
- the models or building blocks are created and stored with formal modeling languages, such as the Simulink language, Modelica or C.
- FIG. 6 shows a schematic view of the connections between the requirements (R), the functions (F), abstract Components (C) and simulation blocks 23, as used in the RFAD process. Since the level of detail of the models of different domains or system views (R and S in this case) differs, the behavioral match often only refers to a part of the variables of the behavioral model, whereas the other variables are not taken into account.
- the set of variables 22 restricted by the system requirements is designated from the set of all variables V L , with V L ⁇ .
- the set of variables limited by the system requirements is called from the set of all variables V s , with V s ⁇ .
