Method for operating a real -time-capable simulation network having multiple network nodes for computing a simulation model, also computer program product relating thereto, and computer-readable storage medium

A method for operating a real-time-capable simulation network having multiple network nodes for computing a simulation model, the method comprising:

• connecting the network nodes to one another by means of a serial data bus, and the network nodes exchange data by means of data bus messages;
• implementing at least one event-driven task of the simulation model on a first network node, wherein a nondeterministic triggering event is detected by a second network node, wherein the second network node communicates the detected triggering event to the first network node by transmission of a detection signal;
• and
• computing, via the first network node, the event-driven task after receiving the detection signal, characterized in that
• wherein the detection signal is sent from the second network node in the form of a multicast data bus message or a broadcast data bus message to multiple network nodes of the simulation network or to all network nodes of the simulation network over the serial data bus.
