Connecting Simulation and Data Management Tools Through Open Standards to Support Hybrid Aircraft Design

The design process of complex systems, such as hybrid aircraft, consists of several stages that depend on each other. The product is virtually validated by simulations in various disciplines. Each of these stages and simulation disciplines is carried out by different experts and they can choose from different tools in their field. The models created during this process are highly interdependent but are typically managed independently by each team. In this paper the first implementation of an open digital platform (ODP) is presented to provide a common data backbone for models from various tools and enable traceability across domains. An open data schema is used to ensure an open interface for the platform. This is implemented with SysML v2. In a proof of concept, two tools from different domains, simulation process and data management (SPDM) and product lifecycle management (PLM) using Teamcenter® Simulation software and model-based design (MBD) using Simcenter™ Amesim™ software, are connected through this open standard.     «
