English engineering units is done in Simulink as shown in Figure 24. The block takes inas parameters the sea level temperature and pressure. This allows the user to set up nonstandardconditions to match flight test data that has not been normalized. The input is inKelvin and Newtons/meter^2.InputCreating the 6 DOF model as a S-function allowed the model to use any of thecanned inputs available from Simulink as well as the new PhEagle stick input block.The ability to use the standard Simulink/Matlab functions allowed the analysis of theaircraft to be done all using a single CAD/CAE package. Access to a workstation allowsCONDUIT to be used to analyze a bare airframe or optimize a control system. A paperpilot would be a matter of creating Simulink subsystems or S-functions to model pilotedinputs.OutputThe output has been expanded from basic text screen output and basic graphics tothe Simulink scope, to workspace function, to file as well as numerical output andadvanced graphics of the World up viewer and PhEagle I out the window graphics. Theability to produce ASCII file output of the control inputs and airframe dynamics allow theuse of the NASA program CIFER <strong>for</strong> simulation model verification. A function has beencreated to convert ASCII files to Fortran un<strong>for</strong>matted binary files. CIFER requires aFortran binary file of the input and output <strong>for</strong> each channel desired <strong>for</strong> identification.FeelWith all of the states being written out, actual aircraft control feel as well asartificial state feedback feel can be incorporated with the 6 DOF model. By making thefeel proportional to the dynamic pressure and Nz the actual feel of an aircraft can be65
