How to integrate a SimLab Model with TwinActivate and Third-Party Software
Hello everyone,
I have a SimLab model with established parameterization for physical parameters (current, voltage). My goal is to integrate SimLab with a third-party software via TwinActivate for a bidirectional workflow. The process I envision is as follows: after SimLab simulation, the new data is sent to the third-party software; the third-party software then runs its own simulation, and its updated physical parameters are subsequently fed back into SimLab.
However, I encountered an issue: TwinActivate does not directly support the import of SimLab models. I’m looking for suggestions or methods that could help me achieve this integration. Has anyone encountered a similar challenge, or can provide insights or workarounds to facilitate the data exchange between SimLab and the third-party software using TwinActivate?
Any advice, alternative approaches, or technical guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

hi @Jeff_wu,
There's no direct interface between SimLab and Twin Activate and, though I don't have experience in SimLab, I'm a Twin Activate expert and I think an approach involving scripting and console calls to both SimLab and the third-party software would be your best bet.
If both simulation tools can be called in batch from the command window, I suggest using a tool like Altair Compose to create a script in which both tools are executed, and parameters are updated as needed.
