Altair Releases VisSim 9.0

Altair has released a new version of VisSim, the company's visual language for mathematical modeling, simulation and model-based embedded system development. This release includes added large diagrams with conditional subsystems, multi-scaled plots and a block and diagram finder.

New embedded features are an Execution Ordering block, a CRC16 block and TI MotorWare InstaSPIN FAST and SPinTAC blocks for programming sensorless FOC motors.

The platform also has expanded support for motor control simulation and development of TI C200 microcontrollers (MCUs). Version 9.0 has compatibility with the Piccolo F2805x, Delfino F2837x and Piccolo F2807x MCUs.

“This is the first release of VisSim since the acquisition of Visual Solutions by Altair in August 2014,” said Peter Darnell, senior vice president of Embedded Systems, Altair. “By leveraging Altair’s impressive software resources, VisSim 9.0 is the fastest, most robust release yet. I’m also really excited about the new features like edit-in-place, the interactive block finder, and our synchronous JTAG HotLink, which enables Processor-in-the-Loop (PIL) testing.”
