How much do you know about Model-Based Design?

How much do you know about working with a system model at the center of the development process?

 

Take the quiz, just 10 questions, to find out.

QUESTION 1

What is Model-Based Design?

Designing systems using models only for simulation 
The systematic use of models throughout the development process, from requirements specification to system operation

A block diagram approach to solving a problem

Automatically generating code from simulation models

QUESTION 2

What can you develop using Model-Based Design?

A model representing a complex dynamic system, including the physical components and software for simulation and code generation

A fully integrated virtual system to discover hardware-software integration issues

A physical system and its digital twin to optimize system operation, detect faults, and perform other tasks

All of the above

QUESTION 3

Using Model-Based Design for simulations of your system helps with which of the following:

Sizing components of your design

Gaining understanding of interactions between control algorithms and other components through closed-loop simulation

Reducing development time by verifying the functionality of controllers and generating code from simulation models optimized for embedded controllers

All of the above

QUESTION 4

True or false: In addition to simulation, system models used in Model-Based Design enable you to do activities such as:

  • Requirements capture

  • Systems engineering

  • Code generation

  • Model-based verification and validation

  • Predictive maintenance

True

False

QUESTION 5

Which of the following is NOT a way in which Model-Based Design helps you reduce the number of hardware prototypes?

Providing hardware prototypes that are already built for you

Using simulation to make informed design decisions, such as sizing the required hardware components

Verifying and optimizing hardware designs early in development through simulation

Performing SIL, PIL, and HIL testing to numerically verify the generated code

QUESTION 6

True or false: Using Model-Based Design, you can automatically generate optimized C, C++, CUDA, VHDL®, Verilog®, and PLC code and run it on embedded devices such as microprocessors, DSPs, GPUs, FPGAs, ASICs, SoCs, and PLCs.

True
False

QUESTION 7

What do you do with existing C/C++ code when you adopt Model-Based Design?

Existing code cannot be used with Model-Based Design; you must re-do the algorithm in Simulink.

Only C/C++ code written after 2020 can be integrated.

Existing C/C++ code can be integrated directly in your models for simulation, verification, and code generation.

Existing C/C++ can only be integrated in your models for simulation.

QUESTION 8

Which of the following model verification activities can be automated with Model-Based Design?

Requirements traceability
Unit testing
Coverage analysis and test case generation
Design error detection (e.g., dead logic, integer overflow, divide by zero)
Standards compliance checking
All of the above
overfitting

QUESTION 9

Model-Based Design complements and enables Agile development practices, including:

Progression from one phase to the other using the Waterfall approach

Continuous integration for automatic testing and verification of models and code

Middleware integration for data management in distributed applications

Process modeling for alignment with the RAD model

QUESTION 10

True or false: Models used in Model-Based Design cannot be used as digital twins of actual physical assets in operation.

True
False
