DISTRIBUTED SIMULATION OF ELECTROMECHANICAL SYSTEMS IN THE VIRTUAL TEST BED

this paper describes new results on distributed computer simulations within the Virtual Test Bed (VTB) environment for virtual prototyping. Network distributed simulations can potentially lead to significant improvement of the computational performance and can expand the range of uses of time domain simulators. Here, we consider methods for improving the accuracy and stability of distributed simulations. Several coupling schemes are proposed, implemented and tested.
