Abstract

One of the computation prerequisites in concurrent engineering is to merge different commercial packages and in-house software into a common framework for computational experimenting. The paper reports on a possible solution thereof. In particular, the coupling with file driven software is discussed and a generic interface technique to this kind of software is presented. The control engineering environment software ANDECS serves to outline the way in which tool integration of file driven software is supported by modern CACE systems. However, this interface technique is not bound to the ANDECS system only. Thus it can be directly applied to link software to other modular CACE systems like MATLAB and Xmath
