The invention provides a model-based
software development method and device,
electronic equipment and a storage medium, and the method comprises the steps: determining whether a
data dictionary cache file which corresponds to a target vehicle-mounted
software model and is in a native storage format exists under a first cache address in response to an import instruction for the vehicle-mounted
software model; if the target vehicle-mounted software model exists, mapping the
data dictionary cache file in the native storage format to operate the target vehicle-mounted software model; and if the target vehicle-mounted software model does not exist, acquiring a
data dictionary file which is in a general storage format and corresponds to the target vehicle-mounted software model under the second cache address, decompressing the data dictionary file, and performing
data analysis and format conversion on a decompression result to operate the target vehicle-mounted software model. By generating the data dictionary cache file in the native storage format in the hard disk in advance and importing the data dictionary cache file into the
working space, the data importing speed can be remarkably increased, the
simulation running time of the vehicle-mounted software model is shortened, and the development efficiency of the vehicle-mounted software is improved.
