Aircraft System Simulation for Preliminary Design

Developments in computational hardware and simulation software have come to a point where it is possible to use whole mission simulation in a framework for conceptual/preliminary design. This paper is about the implementation of full system simulation software for conceptual/preliminary aircraft design. It is based on the new Hopsan NG simulation package, developed at the Linköping University. The Hopsan NG software is implemented in C++. Hopsan NG is the first simulation software that has support for multi-core simulation for high speed simulation of multi domain systems. In this paper this is demonstrated on a flight simulation model with subsystems, such as control surface actuators.
