ABSTRACT<br />
The Development of a <strong>Batch</strong> <strong>Mode</strong> for CONDUIT<br />
and its Application to a Rotorcraft Flight Control System<br />
Ryan P. Dibley<br />
A <strong>Batch</strong> <strong>Mode</strong> capability was developed for CONDUIT, providing for the<br />
capability to quickly create, optimize, and analyze multiple CONDUIT problems. The<br />
Sensitivity Tools of CONDUIT were automated and incorporated into <strong>Batch</strong> <strong>Mode</strong>, such<br />
that multiple number of CONDUIT problems could be fully optimized without user<br />
intervention. In order to demonstrate the capabilities of <strong>Batch</strong> <strong>Mode</strong>, the lateral channel<br />
of the partial authority SH-2G control system was analyzed in <strong>Batch</strong> <strong>Mode</strong>. A group of<br />
cases, ranging in velocity from hover to 100kts, were optimized to produce a gain<br />
schedule of the four active gains. A second group of cases were created, based on the<br />
hover flight condition, in which the stability derivatives, identified using CIFER, were<br />
varied to their known accuracies. The results of this second group were then plotted<br />
simultaneously on the HQ Window, to demonstrate the ability for <strong>Batch</strong> <strong>Mode</strong> to check<br />
for system robustness.<br />
