Computing device and method for developing a system model utilizing a simulation assessment module

A computing device configured to develop a system model, the computing device comprising processing circuitry configured to:

• receive input to design a simulation model configured to digitally simulate a corresponding portion of a system;
• associate a simulation assessment module with the simulation model, wherein the simulation assessment module is configured to verify one or more signals propagating within the simulation model;
• in an instance in which the simulation assessment module has verified the one or more signals, perform a unit test upon the simulation model using a test harness to confirm proper operation of the simulation model;
• and
• in an instance in which the unit test is successful, integrate a plurality of simulation models to form the system model.

A computer program product configured to develop a system model, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium having program code stored thereon with the program code including program code instructions configured, upon execution, to:

• receive input to design a simulation model configured to digitally simulate a corresponding portion of a system;
• associate a simulation assessment module with the simulation model, wherein the simulation assessment module is configured to verify one or more signals propagating within the simulation model;
• in an instance in which the simulation assessment module has verified the one or more signals, perform a unit test upon the simulation model using a test harness to confirm proper operation of the simulation model;
• and
• in an instance in which the unit test is successful, integrate a plurality of simulation models to form the system model.
