Scope

Co-simulation is an increasingly popular approach to carry out the forward-dynamics integration of complex engineering applications, in particular those composed of multi-physics elements. Co-simulation consists in coupling several solver tools, each of them tailored to the dynamics behaviour of a particular system component, via the exchange of coupling variables through a minimal, discrete-time interface.

Topics

This Symposium aims to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas regarding recent advances and developments on co-simulation and solver-coupling techniques. The Symposium scope covers, but is not limited to, the following topics:

• Co-simulation methods and techniques to improve convergence, efficiency, and accuracy.
• Stability and accuracy analysis of co-simulation schemes.
• Multi-physics and multi-domain applications.
• Parallelization and heterogeneous co-simulation.
• Standardization efforts.
• Software-in-the-Loop, Hardware-in-the-Loop, and System-in-the-Loop environments.

It is a major goal of COSIM 2021 to bring together people from academic institutions and from industry and to provide a basis for discussion and exchange of new concepts and ideas to scientists from the international research community.
