Model-Based Design (MBD) enables iterative design practices and boosts the agility of the air vehicle development programs. Flight simulators are extensively employed in these programs for evaluating the handling qualities of the designed platforms. In order to keep up with the agility provided by the MBD, integration of the air vehicle models in fairly complex flight simulators needs to be addressed. The AVES Software Development Kit (SDK), which is the simulation software suite of DLR Air Vehicle Simulator (AVES), enables tackling the model integration starting from the modeler's desktop. Additionally, 2Simulate, which is the enabling real-time simulation infrastructure of AVES SDK, provides automated model integration workflow for MATLAB/Simulink models using Simulink Coder code generation facilities. This paper presents the successful employment of AVES SDK and the 2Simulate model integration workflow for addressing integration challenges for Pilot-in-the-Loop Testing in AVES.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
