Platform overview and your first steps with SimFusion

Getting Started with SimFusion

Welcome to SimFusion — one workspace for design, simulation & documentation.

What is SimFusion?

SimFusion is a web-based workspace built around simulation. It allows you to:

  • Model and design systems with drag-and-drop block diagrams, UML and timing diagrams
  • Run discrete-time simulations and process data (DSP and beyond), sample-accurately
  • Import, transform, process and analyze your data with built-in analytics blocks
  • Document everything with full Markdown support, right next to your models
  • Write custom processing blocks in C/C++ & Python using the built-in IDE

Coming soon: real-time collaboration, and code generation that converts your models to MISRA-compliant C/C++ for embedded targets and Python for further simulations.

Quick Start

1. Create an Account

Sign up at simfusion.io to get started with a free Explorer account.

2. Create Your First Project

  1. Click "New Project" from the dashboard
  2. Select a template or start from scratch
  3. Name your project and choose visibility (public/private)

3. Explore the Interface

The SimFusion workspace consists of:

  • Project Workspace: The main area where you build your models
  • Block Library: Contains all available blocks organized by category
  • Properties Panel: Configure selected blocks
  • Toolbar: Access to run, debug, and share your project

4. Build Your First Model

Use the Component Finder to search the block library, then drag blocks into the project workspace:

  • Source Blocks: Generate or import data
  • Processing Blocks: Transform and analyze data
  • Sink Blocks: Visualize or export results

Every block is well documented — open a block's documentation from the Component Finder or the properties panel.

5. Run the Simulation

Click the Play button to execute your model. Use the simulation debug tools to set breakpoints and inspect buffers at a time (in seconds) or at an exact sample.
