Virtual Test Compatibility System for Vehicle Simulations
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for defining dependencies and finding mutually compatible elements for virtual tests and simulations of vehicle devices and functions are inefficient, often requiring users to manually identify compatible system elements, leading to costly misconfigurations and faulty test executions.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method and system that determine mutually compatible system elements by providing a selection of required elements, querying data memory for compatibility attributes, and outputting compatible elements to ensure error-free execution of virtual tests and simulations, including a compatibility check to prevent incompatibilities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual selection of system elements is used, then user control over configuration is maintained, but compatibility errors occur and computing resources are wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically determines compatible system elements by querying compatibility attributes from data memory, eliminating the need for manual compatibility verification while maintaining user control over the configuration process
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback by automatically checking compatibility attributes and identifying compatible system elements, allowing users to verify configurations without manual compatibility analysis
2Quantity of substance
If all system elements are included in configuration, then completeness is ensured, but compatibility verification becomes manual and error-prone
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically queries compatibility attributes for all system elements from data memory and determines compatible elements without manual intervention, maintaining complete coverage while achieving full automation
3Difficulty of detecting and measuring
If compatibility checking is performed manually, then user understanding of dependencies is deepened, but computing time and resources are wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces manual compatibility checking with an automated computational process that queries compatibility attributes from data memory, eliminating time consumption while maintaining thorough dependency verification
4Adaptability or versatility
If incompatible system elements are selected, then configuration flexibility is maintained, but test execution fails and costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary compatibility checking by querying compatibility attributes before finalizing the configuration, ensuring compatible system elements are selected in advance to prevent execution failures and resource waste

AI summary
A computer-implemented method and system for determining mutually compatible system elements required for an error-free execution of a virtual test and/or a simulation of a vehicle device and/or a vehicle function, with the steps: providing a parked selection or selecting of at least one first system element required for executing the virtual test and/or the simulation of the vehicle device and/or the vehicle function; determining at least one second system element supporting a compatibility requirement of the first system element; and outputting the determined second system element required for the error-free execution of the virtual test and/or the simulation of the vehicle device and/or the vehicle function and supporting the compatibility requirement of the first system element.
