Use models to mathematically represent real-world systems in your VeriStand project.

Simulate both the plant and controller to create a closed-loop control system within a software model. Use models for signal generation, signal analysis, and control. For more information on using models in VeriStand, refer to .
  1. Prepare your model for use.
    • Use a model from C/C++—Create a model in C or C++ that NI software can load and execute through the VeriStand Model Framework.
    • Use a model from MathWorks Simulink® software—Use Simulink software to convert your model for use on real-time targets.
      Note VeriStand only supports 64-bit operating systems.
    • Use a model from LabVIEW VIs—Convert LabVIEW VIs into compiled .lvmodel or .lvmodelso files.
    • Use the Functional Mockup Interface (FMI)—Decouple modeling environments from model consumers.
  2. Add and configure the model—Connect a model to other parts of the system and run the model on a hardware target.
  3. Control and monitor model execution—Use model execution channels to interact with models.
