20080275690 - Automated visualization of a selection of simulation data: The visualization of a selection of data can be simplified. The data occurs during the execution or simulation of a function model on a computer system. It is possible in particular to configure the process of designing or developing functionalities of a control device (e.g. a motor control device) more...
