A system for simulating a real-time system using a block-oriented simulation with a static block-update order comprises: a clock providing a time base; a first task function block with a task release block, a task execution block, a task termination block, and a delay block; a first trigger block that triggers the task release block at a first time; and a second trigger block that triggers the task termination block at a third time. The task execution block calculates an output value dependent on an input value. The task release block receives input data from a data source and sets the input value. The task termination block provides the output value to a data sink. The first or second trigger function block triggers the task execution block at a second time provided by the clock. The delay block is arranged between the task release and task termination blocks.
