MISSILES: an Efficient Resolution of the Co-simulation Coupling Constraint on Nearly Linear Differential Systems through a Global Linear Formulation
Abstract
In a co-simulation context, interconnected systems of differential equations are solved separately but they regularly communicate data to one another during these resolutions. Iterative co-simulation methods have been developed in order to enhance both stability and accuracy. Such methods imply that the systems must integrate one or more times per co-simulation step (the interval between two consecutive communications) in order to find the best satisfying interface values for exchanged data (according to a given coupling constraint). This requires that every system involved in the modular model is capable of rollback: the ability to re-integrate a time interval that has already been integrated with different input commands. In a paper previously introduced by Eguillon et al. in 2022, the COSTARICA process is presented and consists in replacing the non-rollback-capable systems by an estimator on the non-last integrations of the iterative process. The MISSILES algorithm, introduced in this paper, consists in applying the COSTARICA process on every system of a modular model simulated with the IFOSMONDI-JFM iterative co-simulation method (introduced by Eguillon et al. in 2021). Indeed, in this case, the iterative part on the estimators of each system can be avoided as the global resolution on a co-simulation step can be written as a single global linear system to solve. Consequently, MISSILES is a non-iterative method that leads to the same solution than the IFOSMONDI-JFM iterative co-simulation method applied to systems using the COSTARICA process to emulate the rollback.
