• An Automated Methodology to Select Functional Co-Simulation Configurations 

      Rahikainen, Jarkko; González Varela, Francisco Javier; Naya, Miguel A. (Springer, 2020-01)
      [Abstract] The development of machinery often requires system-level analysis, in which non-mechanical subsystems, such as hydraulics, need to be considered. Co-simulation allows analysts to divide a problem into subsystems ...
    • Efficient coupling of multibody software with numerical computing environments and block diagram simulators 

      González Varela, Francisco Javier; González, Manuel; Mikkola, Aki (Springer, 2010-03-27)
      [Abstract] Simulation of complex mechatronic systems like an automobile, involving mechanical components as well as actuators and active electronic control devices, can be accomplished by combining tools that deal with ...
    • Eigenstructure assignment and compensation of explicit co-simulation problems 

      Tamellin, Iacopo; Richiedei, Dario; Rodríguez, Borja; González Varela, Francisco Javier (2022)
      [Abstract] Co-simulation is an effective and versatile way to determine the forward-dynamics behaviour of complex engineering applications. In co-simulation setups, the overall system dynamics is split into several subsystems ...
    • Energy-based monitoring and correction to enhance the accuracy and stability of explicit co-simulation 

      Rodríguez, Antonio J.; Sputh, Bernhard; Pastorino, Roland; González Varela, Francisco Javier; Rodríguez Frade, Borja; Naya, Miguel A. (Springer, 2022)
      [Abstract] The simulation of complex engineering applications often requires the consideration of component-level dynamics whose nature and time-scale differ across the elements of which the system is composed. Co-simulation ...
    • Model-based coupling for co-simulation of robotic contact tasks 

      Peiret, Albert; González Varela, Francisco Javier; Kövecses, József; Teichmann, Marek; Enzenhoefer, Andreas (IEEE, 2020-10)
      [Abstract] Co-simulation of complex robotic systems allows the different components to be modelled and simulated independently using methods and tools tailored to their nature and time-scale, which makes the implementation ...
    • Multibody system dynamics interface modelling for stable multirate co-simulation of multiphysics systems 

      Peiret, Albert; González Varela, Francisco Javier; Kövecses, József; Teichmann, Marek (Elsevier, 2018-09)
      [Abstract] Many industrial applications benefit from predictive computer simulation to reduce costs and time, and shorten product development cycle. Computational multibody system dynamics formalisms and software tools ...
    • On the Cosimulation of Multibody Systems and Hydraulic Dynamics 

      Rahikainen, Jarkko; González Varela, Francisco Javier; Naya, Miguel A.; Sopanen, Jussi (Springer, 2020-02)
      [Abstract] The simulation of mechanical devices using multibody system dynamics (MBS) algorithms frequently requires the consideration of their interaction with components of a different physical nature, such as electronics, ...
    • On the Effect of Multirate Co-simulation Techniques in the Efficiency and Accuracy of Multibody System Dynamics 

      González Varela, Francisco Javier; Naya, Miguel A.; González Castro, Manuel Jesús; Luaces, Alberto (Springer, 2010)
      [Abstract] Dynamic simulation of complex mechatronic systems can be carried out in an efficient and modular way making use of weakly coupled co-simulation setups. When using this approach, multirate methods are often ...
