A method for developing a control unit based on a plurality of simulation models comprising at least one first simulation model and a second simulation model, wherein the integrated process simulates a control unit or an environment of a control unit or a technical system to be controlled or a combination thereof, the method being executable on a simulation device, the method comprising:
- isolating externally visible first communication parameters of the first simulation model and isolating externally visible second communication parameters of the second simulation model;
- comparing the first communication parameters and the second communication parameters and identifying identically named communication parameters;
- and
- modifying the identically named communication parameters at least for one of the first simulation models and the second simulation models such that the integrated process is executable on a single processor core.
