Sysml Based Cubesat Model Design And Integration With The Horizon Simulation Framework, Shaun Luther
Sysml Based Cubesat Model Design And Integration With The Horizon Simulation Framework, Shaun Luther
Master's Theses
This thesis examines the feasibility of substituting the system input script of Cal Poly’s Horizon Simulation Framework (HSF) with a Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) model designed with the Systems Modeling Language (SysML). A concurrent student project, SysML Output Interface Creation for the Horizon Simulation Framework, focused on design of the HSF Translator Plugin which converts SysML models to an HSF specific XML format. A SysML model of the HSF test case, Aeolus, was designed. The original Aeolus HSF input script and the translated SysML input script retained the format and dependency structure required by HSF. Both input scripts …
The Creation, Analysis, And Verification Of A Comprehensive Model Of A Micro Ion Thruster, Maxwell J. Bodnar
The Creation, Analysis, And Verification Of A Comprehensive Model Of A Micro Ion Thruster, Maxwell J. Bodnar
Master's Theses
A computational model of the micro-ion thruster MiXI has been developed, analyzed, and partially verified. This model includes submodels that govern the physical, magnetic, electrostatic, plasma physics, and power deposition of the thruster. Over the past few years, theses have been conducted with the goal of running tests and analyzing the results; this model is used to understand how the thruster components interact so as to make predictions about, and allow for optimization of, the thruster operation. Testing is then performed on the thruster and the results are compared to the output of the code. The magnetic structure of the …
