Abstract
This paper presents an approach to modelling distributed systems described by Partial Differential Equations(PDEs) in SystemC-A. Such modeling approach is quite important because of the modeling difficulties for the mixed-physical domain systems where complex digital and analogue electronics interfaces with vital distributed physical effects. As current SystemC-A does not support PDEs modeling, the proposed approach is based on discretization of PDEs to a set of Ordinary Differential and Algebraic Equations(ODAEs) which can be solved. Future work will extend the SystemC-A syntax to provide full PDE support. Distributed lossy microstrip and cantilever beam are used to validate the method and are described in the case studies.
