Abstract

The invention relates to a process for the parameterization of a software-implemented working model of a simulation environment, which comprises a multitude of simulation model components and is loaded onto simulation hardware, particularly in order to simulate a test environment of at least one motor vehicle control system interfaced with the simulation hardware or the simulation of a motor vehicle control system running on the simulation hardware, whereby the working model is analyzed in relation to the simulation model components contained therein and for each detected simulation model component there is generated and displayed a user interface by the automatic selection out of a mask databank of at least one input/output mask allocated to the simulation model component and by the automatic selection out of a parameter-mask allocation databank of the parameters allocated to an input/output mask.

Claims

1-6. -6. (canceled)

7. A method for the parameterization of a software-implemented working model of a simulation environment comprising:

loading a plurality of simulation model components onto simulation hardware,

creating a working model by running the simulation model components on the simulation hardware,

analyzing the working model in relation to the simulation model components contained therein,

generating and displaying a user interface for each simulation model component by automatically selecting the user interface out of a mask databank, wherein the mask databank contains at least one input/output mask allocated to the simulation model component and automatically selecting parameters allocated to the input/output mask out of a parameter-mask allocation databank.

8. The method of claim 7 used for the simulation of a motor vehicle control system running on the simulation hardware.

9. The method of claim 7 wherein the working model is generated by the deletion of unneeded simulation model components out of a global model comprising all potential model components, whereby for each potential model component of the global model, there exists at least one allocated entry in the mask databank and parameter-mask allocation databank.

10. The method of claim 7 wherein the working model is generated by the addition of at least one model component to an existing working model.

11. The method of claim 7 wherein the working model is generated by the addition of at least one model component, which is not part of a global model, and that the mask databank and the parameter-mask allocation databank are supplemented by the masks and parameters of the model component.

12. The method of claim 7 wherein the analysis of the working model and the display of the user interface takes place by means of a parameterization program.
