Is it possible to communicate a Raspberry pi with PSIM?

Nasrin90_Ei

I am working on a project where a controller is implemented on a Raspberry Pi that generates output data in real time. I would like to know whether it is possible to interface this data with a control circuit in the PSIM simulation environment and run the simulation in real time.

More specifically, is there a way to connect real-time data from external hardware (such as a Raspberry Pi) to a PSIM simulation and use it as input signals for control circuit?

Dear @Nasrin90_Ei,

PSIM Supports Processor-in-the-Loop (PIL) simulations and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) for the following list of MCUs. It is primarily TI's C2000 series MCUs:

Please keep in mind that "real-time" without FPGA-based hardware is not possible. This is where HIL comes into play:

Unfortunately, we currently do not support Raspberry Pi hardware. We are looking into extending this list with Simcenter Embed (previously Altair Embed), which supports Raspberry Pi and STM hardware. I do not have a clear timeline for this update - but we will publish relevant material once ready.

Best regards,
