Abstract
Validation is one source for new objectives and new design solutions. Within validation activities, models represent specific properties of the system in development or its user or environment. For the implementation of models on the test bench “Koppelsystems” must be selected and installed. Such Koppelsystems (“koppeln” is a German word for “to interconnect”) may be necessary to interconnect models of different fidelity levels or of incompatible input and output flows. The paper analyses the role of Koppelystems within validation activities.
