EHANDBOOK Container build toolbox for Simulink

EHANDBOOK Container-build toolbox for Simulink is specifically designed to provide an automated method for generating EHANDBOOK containers directly from within a Simulink environment – in only three to ten minutes. The toolbox is easily installed via the MATLAB Add-On Manager, eliminating the need to configure a separate build environment.

Your benefits

Fast set-up

Straightforward installation directly into the Simulink tool menu.

Accelerated processes

Quick generation of individual ECU functions without depending on other departments.

Easy integration

Flexible combination with other EHANDBOOK container files in EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR.

Use cases

Interactive documentation and cooperation between OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers

Providing interactive documentation

The illustrations show how interactive data documentation is effortlessly generated using the EHANDBOOK Container-build toolbox for Simulink, producing EHANDBOOK container files.

Providing interactive documentation

Function and software development departments are often required to provide suitable documentation for ECU software to help calibration engineers, either in-house or at the OEMs, to understand ECU functions. With the EHANDBOOK Container-build toolbox for Simulink, this documentation can be generated with a single click. The resulting EHANDBOOK container file can then be easily shared via email or file-sharing platforms.

Cooperation between OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers

A significant portion of an ECU's application software often comes from Tier-1 suppliers, while OEMs only develop a few ECU functions. These OEM-developed functions are then integrated with the Tier-1 suppliers’ software to create the complete ECU package. EHANDBOOK facilitates this collaborative model by enabling OEMs to generate individual EHANDBOOK containers for their own ECU functions. These containers can then be loaded and combined with the suppliers’ ECU software documentation in EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR. Users at the OEMs receive information about all software components with the help of a single tool. Seamless visualizations are also available thanks to the interactive models and function overviews. This approach is particularly beneficial in rapid prototyping applications, where quick turnaround times and frequent updates are essential.
