Map of the vendor manuals

Five PDFs ship with VSI 2026.2 in D:\InnexisVSI\innexis_home\vsi_2026.2\docs. None of them covers this workspace's pipeline (Teamcenter, SysML v2, the glue, the checker); all of them are the authority on what the tool itself does. Page numbers are PDF pages.

Innexis VSI Builder and Simulator User Guide (249 pages)

The one to open first.

chapter	pages	what it holds	our page
1 Introduction	9 to 15	getting started, the four-step flow, syntax conventions, the list of vendor tutorials (not shipped in this install)	getting-started
2 Gateways	17 to 56	one section per protocol (Ethernet, CAN, GPIO, LIN, PWM, SPI, GenericPayload, AXI, UART) and one per component kind (C++, Python p41 to 42, FMU, ROS, Simulink, RTL, physical, CANoe, virtual platforms)	reference/gateways-and-protocols
3 VSI Builder	57 to 118	vsiBuild modes, every command with its arguments, naming rules from p110	reference/command-grammar
4 VSI Simulator	119 to 140	vsiSim options and the 30 simulation control commands	running-and-controlling/simulation-control-commands
5 APIs Reference	141 to 226	the C++ API of each gateway class: FMI master, Ethernet, CAN, CAN FD, GPIO, video, LIN, PWM, SPI, GenericPayload	building-a-twin/writing-component-behaviour
6 Custom Code Enablement	227	user regions and replacing a generated component	same
7 Manual Configuration	229 to 248	building SystemC and SCV, Vista, vSensor, time components, Process Simulate, RTL, CANoe, Simulink, DevPro, VEOS, PWM on a virtual platform	not used here

Six statements in chapter 3 differ from what the 2026.2 binary accepts; they are listed on the command-grammar page. Ask the binary with help -command NAME when a syntax question comes up.

Innexis VSI Reference Guide (97 pages)

The fabric itself, for anyone writing a raw client or reasoning about time.

chapter	pages	topic
1	7 to 17	the TLM fabric backplane, SystemC and raw C clients, FMI and CAN use models
2	19 to 31	coordinated time advancement and client synchronisation, the HIFI_TIMED and QUANT_SYNC modes
3	33 to 41	the threaded raw C client portal API
4	43 to 47	connection and configuration API, batch replay, quantum sync control
5 and 6	49 to 66	FMI master and FMU model API
7	67 to 71	QEMU guest RTOS timer module
8 and 10	73 to 94	MATLAB interfacing and the MinGW add-on
9	81 to 91	the TLM-wrapped CAN transactor and its configuration fields
11	95	Ubuntu 16.04 notes

The step-and-handshake structure visible in every generated skeleton is chapter 2's untimed-client model; that is why an early return from the per-step method deadlocks.

Installation Guide, Cloud Setup Guide, Release Notes

The Installation Guide's Windows checklist was walked on 2026-08-20 and the install matches it. The environment file it describes (env_vsi.txt, here env_vsi.win.txt) shipped with placeholders and had to be edited before anything ran. The Release Notes list the third-party tool versions the release was qualified with and which features need which licence; the licence half of that is superseded on this machine by what the server actually serves (see getting-started/install-environment-and-licence). The Cloud Setup Guide concerns AWS deployment and was not used.

What the vendor tutorials would have shown

The Introduction lists more than twenty tutorials (docs/appNotes, fullDemos, miniDemos, rosDemos, cloudDemos) covering C++, Python, ROS, FMU, RTL, CANoe, CARLA and virtual platforms. They are not present in this installation; the folders do not exist under D:\InnexisVSI. The two-component templates under innexis-vsi\templates (C++ pair, Python pair, Python and C++ pair, Ethernet pair, CAN pair, SystemC pair, FMU pilot, Python delay chain), each generated, built and run here, are the working substitutes.
