Simulation software
Cooperation between RTI and Ansys
Real-Time Innovations (RTI), a software framework company for autonomous systems, has announced a partnership with Ansys, a provider of simulation software.
The collaboration aims to accelerate the development, testing and deployment of distributed systems by enabling them to be simulated without the underlying hardware. RTI and Ansys customers develop complex products ranging from autonomous vehicles to medical robots and defense systems. By integrating 'RTI Connext' with 'Ansys Scade' and 'Scade Display', engineers can develop and test their systems using real-world scenarios in safe, highly scalable digital environments before moving to the production phase.
The partnership between RTI and Ansys builds on previous avionics and automotive collaborations, including the first phase of the Indy Autonomous Challenge, where university teams developed and raced fully autonomous vehicles in a simulated environment. For this, RTI Connex was tightly integrated with the Ansys simulation platform and Ansys Scade model-based development environment, allowing each team to quickly design, test, rebuild and race their virtual vehicles on the digital race track.
In avionics, RTI and Ansys are collaborating to optimize the simulation and design of deterministic AI systems that send streams of fast, reliable intelligence to control systems. In automotive, the combination of RTI Connext Drive and Ansys Scade Automotive provides an integrated platform for DDS, ROS 2, AUTOSAR Classic and AUTOSAR Adaptive that enables software teams to work with the standard(s) that best meet their needs at different points in the innovation cycle.
"Ansys and RTI have strong strategic alignment across all major industries, from aerospace and defense to automotive, and meet the specific requirements for implementing autonomous systems," said Vincent Rossignol, Senior Manager, Product Management at Ansys. "RTI's certified DDS-based embedded platform enables users to easily run Ansys SCADE for the development of safe and reliable, interoperable and protected embedded systems."

TSN is just a "channel" to get data from one place to another in a deterministic way. It does not deal with higher level application functions. How does the DDS approach differ from, say, OPC UA and MQTT in terms of these higher levels?
