Complex Modeling of Various SystemsLanding GearAdditional Hardware in the LoopAdding software to provide a pulse width modulation command output to provideservo motor command capability.Coordinate Transform to Place Eyepoint in CockpitThe current model has the eyepoint of the pilot at the center of gravity. Atranslation will be required to move the eyepoint to the correct position for the pilot inany specific aircraft. This is a simple coordinate tranform moving the viewpoint in thebody axis system.Simulink BlocksReal-time Timing Block for use on a PCSimulink runs in batch mode integrating the equations of motion as fast as theprocessor will allow. Including the stick, instrument or hardware blocks allows thesimulation to get data from outside the Simulink environment. Including a timing blockin the Simulink diagram to delay the next iteration of the differential equations to theactual amount of time as the dt used for the numerical integration s provides actual realtime data input to a simulation without having to autocode the simulation. The process ofauto coding takes about 10 minutes for a average size simulation diagram. The timingblock would provide a means to do setup of the feel system and other IO hardwarethrough the regular Simulink environment.FlyboxCal Poly has a BG systems Flybox serial port inceptor. The c source code isavailable providing the opportunity to add desktop input to a Silicon Graphics85
