EaSy-Sim: A Tool Environment for the Design of Complex, Real-Time Systems

Up to now no tool is available on the market that allows functional design and performance analysis within the same environment. Mostly new models have to be built to do performance analysis. This approach is time consuming and erroneous. To overcome this awkward situation two tools, namely GEODE/SDL a typical design tool and SES/workbench a typical simulation tool were coupled. The resulting design and simulation environment will allow the designer to make multiple iterations between functional and performance validation, and therefore the quality of the system design will be improved. Additionally the risk not to meet e.g. some of the performance requirements will be reduced dramatically.
