Abstract :
This paper describes an interactive modeling, simulation, animation, and real-time control (MoSART) environment which may be used for analyzing, designing, visualizing, and evaluating the performance of multivariable aircraft control systems. The described MoSART environment is based on Microsoft Windows NT/95/98, Visual C++, Microsoft Direct-3D, and MATLAB/SIMULINK. The environment accommodates data exchange with MATLAB. Simulation data generated from within SIMULINK may be used to drive the environment´s plotting and animation engines. The program allows the user to select model parameters, control laws, control law gains, control law design parameters and methodologies, reference commands, disturbances, initial conditions, integration routines, integration routine parameters, and graphics to be displayed, The program also updates plots, visual indicators, and animations on the screen using the real-time data generated by the simulation module
