MOSIM - Modular Simulation of Natural Human Motions |
| Web |
mosim.eu |
| Duration |
September 2018 – November 2021 |
| Budget |
10 Mill. Euro, 80 person years |
| Type of project |
ITEA Project, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) |
| Project partners |
22 partners from 4 different countries (Germany, Finland, Sweden, Austria) |
| Leader |
Dr. Thomas Bär (Daimler Buses – EvoBus GmbH) |
| Purpose |
The MOSIM approach helps identify conditions that negatively impact worker health & safety, or well-being, in time to eliminate or mitigate issues. To introduce software capability and solutions, that automatically simulate a rich repertoire of realistic human motions, MOSIM aims to develop and implement a generic concept inspired by the Functional Mock-up Interface standard. MOSIM extends co-simulation methodologies to the field of human simulation, by introducing Motion Model Units (MMU), to facilitate different simulation domains to share human-centric motions. |

| Type of project |
BMWi Project The project is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi). |
| Project partners |
9 German partners from industrial and research organizations, with a share of 1/3 of the funding assigned to SME. |
| Leader |
Oliver Lenord (Robert Bosch GmbH) |
| Purpose |
The vehicle of the future is expected to be smart. This implies a high degree of self-awareness, in other words the ability to determine and predict the state of itself and the surrounding. Creating models describing the dynamic behavior quickly and with little effort is a key competence. Classical physical models derived from first principles and data-driven models using Artificial Intelligence shall be combined to find a “Proper Model” in the sense of the best fit in terms of the trade-off between computational effort and accuracy. A framework shall be provided that allows to partially automate the hybrid method selection and model generation process based on a given set of requirements, existing physical models and data to accelerate the development of smarter vehicles and products. |

Oliver Lenord (Bosch) |
| Purpose |
Develop a new standard (FMI for embedded systems) to exchange physics-based models between modelling and simulation environments with software development environments for electronic control units (ECU), micro controllers or other embedded systems and provide prototype implementations for the whole tool chain from physics-based modeling environments to production code on electronic control units. Enabling advanced control and diagnosis functions based on physical models allows the production code in automotive vehicles to be enhanced and the cost and time for the software development of these embedded systems to be reduced. |

| Major Achievements |
A new and open interface standard FMI (Functional Mock-up Interface) was developed to conveniently exchange models from different simulation environments, including the Modelica and non-Modelica tools of the MODELISAR partners. Usage of a model in another environment can either be performed by model coupling, i.e., no integrators are embedded in the model, or by co-simulation in various levels. The FMI standard and the tools have been evaluated with many industrial use cases. MODELISAR results (pdf-file) MODELISAR innovation report (pdf-file) |
