Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: automatically generating, by a processor of a host computer, an executable comparison block diagram model including: storing the executable comparison block diagram in a memory; identifying for comparison, with a difference block in the comparison block diagram model, a first intermediate output from the first simulation and a second intermediate output from the second simulation, the difference block being separate from the first and second portions that represent the first and second simulations; providing a switching capability at the second portion of the executable comparison block diagram model, the switching capability controlling whether a next component of the second portion of the executable comparison block diagram model receives: instructing the first simulation and the second simulation to execute simultaneously in a locked-step manner during execution of the comparison block diagram model; automatically comparing, by the processor, at least one value of the first intermediate output with at least one value of the second intermediate output during the execution of the comparison block diagram model including the first and second portions that represent the first and second simulations; and generating a report comparing the first simulation with the second simulation.
