AnDeCS: a concurrent control engineering project

Abstract

AnDeCS (=Analysis & Design ofControlled %stems) is t h e D L R project for developing a coherent computer-aided technology for 'Concurrent Control Engineering', which means multidisciplinary dynamics design integration with emphasis on controlled systems. T h e technological requirements, i.e. conceptions, methods, and software tools, for supporting end-user 'aims', a common view on method-experiments and model-experiments, multidisciplinary information sharing and project teaming, are considered. Of particular interest is t h e AnDeCS 'dynamics-model bus' and t h e 'engineering-data bus'. Also dealt with is t h e layered development approach, which interrelates in a structured way data processing, software engineering, object-oriented data abstraction, and numerics, with specific (control-and multibody-) dynamics engineering methods, computational application modules, and high-level modular, multi-objective design experimenting.

“…Major efforts have been undertaken in .this area, e. g. [13,14,15]. A very promising effort in this field is near completion for general release at DLR under the tempting name ANDECS (= Analysis & Design of Controlled Systems), [16,17], see also Sec. 4.…”
