4.2. ICD Tool
The Interface Control Definition (ICD) tool allows a host computer and an MBV model to share
information via ethernet UDP packets by labeling and standardizing the information contained in
the UDP packet. In other words, the ICD tool defines an XML packet layout. When creating an
ICD, the user creates the packets that makeup the ICD and the members that makeup the packets.
The user must create a new ICD for every model with network host inputs.
For a detailed tutorial using the MBV ICD tool see section 8.4 MBV ICD Tool in the MBV Train-
ing Guide (DOC-01-MBV-BTM-1).
