Introduction

At NebulaSolver.com, we are thrilled to introduce our new Systems Engineering Simulation feature. Our app now supports Functional Mock-up Units (FMUs), enabling complex system simulations directly from your browser. This powerful tool brings advanced modeling capabilities to engineers, researchers, and students alike.

Why Use FMUs?

FMUs are packaged simulations that comply with the Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI) standard. They allow for the integration of models from different tools into a single simulation environment. By using FMUs, you can:

Combine models from various sources.
Share models easily across different platforms and teams.
Leverage pre-built models to save time and resources.

Applications of FMUs

FMUs are versatile and can be used in a wide range of applications, including but not limited to:

Automotive system simulations
Aerospace engineering
Energy systems
Industrial automation
Robotics
Control systems
Mechanical and electrical systems

Our System Modeling Feature

We have successfully deployed our system modeling app on AWS, which means it is live and ready for use. To ensure compatibility, the app requires Linux-based FMU files, as our deployment runs on a Linux environment.

Users can simply upload a Linux-based FMU file, and the app will perform the simulation and render the results in the browser using Plotly, providing an interactive and visually appealing output.

Comparison with MATLAB/Simulink

While MATLAB and Simulink are powerful tools, they come with significant costs and require installation and maintenance. NebulaSolver offers a cloud-based alternative that leverages open-source technologies, providing the following advantages:

No installation required: Access the tool directly from your browser.
Cost-effective: Utilize powerful modeling capabilities without expensive licenses.
Ease of use: Our intuitive UI abstracts the complexity of setting up simulations, making it accessible to non-programmers.
Flexibility: Integrate with various open-source tools and libraries.

Simplifying Systems Engineering for Everyone

At NebulaSolver, we believe that to sell is to help. Our goal is to simplify systems engineering for everyone. By providing a user-friendly, cloud-based platform, we help users model complex systems without the need for extensive programming knowledge. This enables more people to leverage advanced simulation tools, fostering innovation and problem-solving across various industries.
