The rtxd Project: Open Source Real-time for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)
The markets for Internet of Thing (IoT) devices are forecast to experience phenomenal growth in the coming years, but not all IoT markets are created equal. Two of the most prominent IoT markets are the consumer IoT and the Industrial IoT (IIoT). II…
More Electric Aircraft Power Systems Facility
Developing Aircraft Power Systems of the Future Over the past decade, the aircraft industry has converged on a shared vision for the future of aircraft power systems. This vision represents a dramatic shift away from various types of power found …
Aircraft IMA Integration Bench
Managing the Challenges of Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) is forever changing commercial and military avionics systems. IMA, and its early adopters have rewritten the rules of integration, verification, and ce…
The Expanded Reach of Simulation Based Aircraft System Verification and its Software Capability Requirements
The engineering and technology space surrounding Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) has been growing in scope and importance for product development companies, for at least a couple decades. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) methodologies allow…
Improving the Accuracy of Intermediate-pass Outputs in Multi-pass Real-Time Integration Methods
In using multi-pass integration methods for real-time simulation of dynamic systems, it may be desirable to employ intermediate-pass state-variable calculations as real-time outputs. For example, the real-time version of 2nd-order Runge-Kutta (RTRK-…
Predictor Methods in Real-Time Simulation
In real-time simulation it may sometimes be necessary to advance a data sequence {xn} by a given time interval in order to compensate for a delay of the same time interval which occurs somewhere else in the simulation. For example, it is well known …
Real-Time Simulation and Model-Based-Systems- Engineering Using Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Computer Equipment
This paper presents the requirements development (including requirement creep), selection, and integration of a small commercial off the shelf (COTS) computer into existing simulation systems that are based on the Applied Dynamics ADvantage Framewor…
Speeding Aircraft Development from Preliminary Design through Certification
Rapid advancements in avionics systems require moving from concept to certification as quickly and efficiently as possible. Simulation has proven to be invaluable in reducing development cycle times by enabling more efficient development work earlie…
Jet Engine HIL Simulation for Electronic Control System Testing
Successful jet engine development depends as much on the quality of the electronic engine control system as it does on engine design. Hardware-in-the-loop testing puts an engine control system through test scenarios identical to those carried out in…
