Typhoon HIL Toolboxes

Real-time only: This document is valid only for real-time/VHIL simulation.

Starter Features Pack

Typhoon HIL Control Center includes a wide variety of pre-built component models and features to help you build your project quickly. All Typhoon HIL components in the core library are available for free to add to your Schematic Editor model and use in a non-real time simulation mode (Virtual HIL or TyphoonSim with the TyphoonSim toolbox unlocked). However, some components and functionalities may behave differently or not at all during non-real time simulation. In these cases, visual indicators and tooltips will indicate the resulting behavior. Please refer to Simulation context definitions for more information.

With the purchase of any HIL simulator device, a large amount of these component models will also become available for real-time simulation for free on your site license. Additionally, test automation functionality via TyphoonTest IDE, together with a wide array of communication protocols, become available for you to use to expand your test coverage and capabilities. See the Starter Features page for more information.

Real-time Simulation Toolbox Offering

In addition to the freely available functionalities, there are also several commercial toolboxes available that include advanced features that enhance the capabilities of Typhoon HIL Control Center. In these cases, visual indicators and tooltips within the software will indicate the necessary toolboxes. Access to these features is tied to your software license, either per device or per user. Toolboxes can either be added individually to your software license, or included as part of a sales pack.

The list of currently available toolboxes and their covered features is as follows:

Note: You can find out which Toolboxes your model is currently using by selecting the Model Information option in the Model dropdown menu in Schematic Editor. If no content is displayed, then all model content is available from the Basic toolbox package.

TyphoonSim Toolbox License

In addition to the capabilities real-time simulation, Typhoon HIL Control Center includes the capability to perform high-speed, offline simulation with TyphoonSim via a dedicated license. Please see the TyphoonSim license page for more information on this license type.

Package Specific Toolboxes

Real-time only: This document is valid only for real-time/VHIL simulation.

The HIL Marketplace provides a collection of Typhoon HIL and third-party developed packages which extend upon the components available in the Schematic Editor Core library. Packages can be accessed directly from the HIL Marketplace webpage or the Package Manager tool in Typhoon HIL Control Center.

These packages are managed separately from Typhoon HIL Control Center, and therefore have their own dedicated documentation pages and hardware and software compatibility requirements. Some packages may also have their own toolbox requirements to use (most HIL Compatible packages have their own toolbox requirements, for example). Please contact the package developer or our sales team if you have questions about toolbox requirements for a specific package.
