Method and apparatus for adapting a simulation model to expose a signal internal to the model to a client application
First Claim
1. A method for adapting a simulation model, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a designer of the simulation model the ability to select from within a modeling environment at least one signal internal to the model to be exposed to a client application;
modifying said simulation model to expose said at least one signal internal to the model; and
allowing access by the client application, by way of interfacing software, to the at least one signal internal to the model.

Abstract
A method for exposing the internal signals of a system model or software model of a dynamic system to a client application outside the original modeling environment is provided. A designer of the system model is provided with a way to select internal signals of the system model in order to expose those internal signals to other computer applications external to the modeling environment. Such computer applications are then able to access the internal signals by way of interfacing software while the system model is being exercised within the modeling environment, or while a software model based on the system model is executed outside of that environment.
