Video Tutorial #1: Introduction to Automotive Co-Simulation

In this video, Clemens, CTO of Persival, introduces the concept of Co-Simulation and its benefits. Unlike all-in-one simulation tools, Co-Simulation allows you to integrate specialized models from different sources, ensuring each component is modeled by experts in their respective fields.

Tutorial #1: Introduction to Automotive Co-Simulation

Key Topics Covered

• What is Co-Simulation? Learn how Co-Simulation enables the integration of models from various sources into a single simulation.

• Example Architecture: Discover what a typical Co-Simulation setup looks like, including scenario players, sensor models, and perception stacks. 

• Benefits: Understand the advantages of using individually validated models for credible simulation outcomes.

• Hands-On Setup: Follow along as Clemens demonstrates how to build a Co-Simulation using the AVL Scenario Simulator and open-source tools like esmini and a sensor model from OpenMSL.  

Tools & Standards for Co-Simulation

• AVL Scenario Simulator: Free tool for orchestrating Co-Simulation.

• esmini: Open-source scenario player.

• FMI Standard: Packaging models into Functional Mockup Units (FMUs).

• OpenMSL: Sensor model library.  

Next Steps: Stay tuned for more tutorials where we'll dive deeper into standards like ASAM OpenSCENARIO, ASAM OpenDRIVE, and ASAM OSI.
