Manually transferring data between your simulation models and test benches is time-consuming and introduces translation errors into complex engineering pipelines.
Discover how to eliminate file-parsing workarounds using the native modeFRONTIER LabVIEW Direct Node. This technical tutorial shows you how to integrate National Instruments LabVIEW Virtual Instruments (VIs) directly into an automated modeFRONTIER process workflow.
Watch how the direct integration node acts as a smart bridge: it opens your target VI, parses its front panel, and automatically displays all available controls and indicators. Learn how to map these parameters directly to modeFRONTIER input and output variables with just a few clicks. By automating your LabVIEW models inside a multi-objective numerical optimization loop, you can execute rapid design exploration, accelerate controller tuning, and maximize system performance autonomously.
