  • Patent number: 10409937
    Abstract: A method for simulating behavior of first and second interrelated components within a system. The method comprises modelling behavior of said first and second components using first and second functional specifications; simulating behavior of said first and second components in predetermined circumstances by instantiating at least one first entity within a hierarchy of interrelated entities; and instantiating at least one further entity in response to the or each instantiated first entity. The or each further entity is selected by a simulation system on the basis of its hierarchical relationship with the at least one first entity.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 18, 2016
    Date of Patent: September 10, 2019
    Assignee: Mentor Graphics Corporation

  • Patent number: 6161081
    Abstract: A simulation model for a digital system comprises a number of functional units, interconnected by a number of interface units for transmitting messages between the functional units. Each interface unit includes a mechanism for automatically composing and decomposing messages into higher and lower levels of design. The interface thus provides a general mechanism which allows units at any level to communicate with units at any other level, for mixed-level modelling.
