A method for providing a real-time-capable simulation for control unit development, wherein the real-time-capable simulation simulates a control unit or an environment of a control unit or a combination of a control unit and an environment of the control unit. The real-time-capable simulation has a co-simulation of a real-time-capable sub-simulation and a non-real-time-capable sub-simulation that interacts with the real-time-capable sub-simulation, wherein the real-time-capable sub-simulation and the non-real-time-capable sub-simulation are designed for communication of simulation data. The real-time-capable sub-simulation has a first simulation time corresponding to real time and the non-real-time-capable sub-simulation has a virtual, second simulation time that is coupled to the first simulation time and that matches the first simulation time at the start of the real-time-capable simulation.

Method for providing a real-time-capable simulation for control unit development, and simulation device for control unit development

According to the invention, the operating softwareof a technical system, particularly of a controller for controlling or regulating at least one technical device, is modified by virtue of hardware-dependent software components in the operating softwareexecutable directly on the technical system not being executed and instead the functional behavior of the hardware-dependent software components being recreated by substitute functions. To this end, the hardware-dependent software components are automatically identified (step S), and the substitute functionsare automatically ascertained or produced. On execution in a suitable simulation environment(step S), the operating softwaremodified in this way simulates the technical system independently of the real hardwarethereof.
