Flight Simulation Modeling Method Based On Improved Euler Angle Formula, Lishan Jia, Li Ang
Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: Aiming at the singularity problem of common full flight motion equation, a modeling method based on improved Euler angle formula is proposed. On the basis of the modified small perturbation modeling equation, this method increases the influence of aircraft maneuvering surface on the aircraft Euler angle and a variable step solution algorithm is used. The model can overcome the singularity problem of common Euler equation, and the accuracy of model calculation is higher than other flight simulation models which overcome the singularity of Euler equation. Compared with the flight simulation model using the conventional Euler angle formula, the proposed …
The Case For Thoroughly Testing Complex System Dynamic Models
The Case For Thoroughly Testing Complex System Dynamic Models
Wayne W. Wakeland
In order to determine whether model testing is as useful as suggested by modeling experts, the full battery of model tests recommended by Forrester, Senge, Sterman, and others was applied retrospectively to a complex previously-published system dynamics model. The time required to carry out each type of test was captured, and the benefits that resulted from applying each test was determined subjectively. The resulting benefit to cost ratios are reported. These ratios suggest that rather than focusing primarily on sensitivity testing, modelers should consider other types of model tests such as extreme condition tests and family member tests. The study …
