The use of Vector's CANoe vehicle network simulation tools provides an effective method for testing modules, and their interaction within a complex vehicle network. Using CANoe "Statemate, and Simulink models" may be interfaced with a network simulation. Network traffic is defined through the manual definition of each node on the network. The Statemate model is interfaced to the simulation and the test is performed.
CANape is a software tool from Vector Informatik. This development software, widely used by OEMs and ECU suppliers of automotive industries and is used to calibrate algorithms in ECUs at runtime.
