In this webinar we show how Model-Based Design can be applied to the development of an aileron actuation system. The concept of Model-Based Design is explained, and then we model, simulate, and deploy the model developed using, MATLAB, Simulink, Simscape, and other MathWorks products.
Several steps of a Model-Based Design workflow are shown, including:
- Modeling the mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical systems
- Integrating the requirements document in the design process
- Performing tradeoff studies to select technologies
- Distributing models using parallel computing
- Running simulations in real-time for HIL testing
Engineers using a traditional development process often encounter a number of challenges that result in long development cycles and high development costs. Model-Based Design addresses those challenges by using the model for much more than testing individual systems. Simulating in a single environment, continuous validation against requirements, and automatic code generation enable engineers to develop high quality systems fast.
