Abstract: Composite modelling and simulation is a solution to utilize investments in models and tools, use the right tool for the right task, increase the accuracy by means of more accurate modelled boundary conditions, switch between levels in model complexity for a specific sub-system, and facilitate co-operation in organizations. With the new Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI) standardization, efforts are increasing to make this happen. SKF BEAST is an advanced dynamic simulation tool for rolling bearings and other mechanical systems with contacts. The tool incorporates a framework for composite modelling and co-simulation, i.e., a Master Simulation Tool (MST). It uses Transmission Line Modelling (TLM) to ensure robust numerical behaviour of the complete composite system model and supports the Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI) for model import, including both model exchange and co-simulation. In this paper, the tools and the techniques for composite modelling are discussed in further detail and application examples are given.
