This webinar is being held as p​art of the ASSESS Integration Theme

The SSP (System Structure and Parameterization) Standard is a companion standard to the FMI standard, which is now supported by more than 280 simulation tools. SSP provides the system level layer on top of components following the FMI or Modelica standards.

In this 2-part webinar series, we will :

• present the basics of what SSP is and does
• show how it enables standards-based collaboration for product development and digital twins
• look at an example of an OEM-supplier collaboration, including the exchange of models in standard formats.

SSP Traceability is a layered standard on top of SSP and FMI that has been developed to enable a Credible Simulation Process based exclusively on open standards. SSP Traceability and the Credible Simulation Process were developed for the autonomous-driving use case, but the effort level can be pared down to remain practical for less critical applications. This webinar walks through an example project designing an electric vehicle powertrain; SSP Traceability will be used to exchange requirements and credibility information in a standardized way. Due to the broad adoption of FMI for system simulation, it can be applied across many different industries. It is particularly useful to implement OEM-supplier collaboration scenarios for the trusted exchange of validated simulation models.

The prostep ivip Smart Systems Engineering (SmartSE) Project continues to develop industrial implementation guidelines for the Credible Simulation Process. In this webinar, I will present the latest version of their recommendations.

Together, the two sessions illustrate how SSP fits within a simulation governance framework to enable trustworthy, decision-grade system simulations for product design.
