To thoroughly validate and verify the control system, the X-In-the-Loop simulation methodology was implemented from the verification of the YL-1's concept phase. Throughout the entire development cycle, from the initial concept demonstration to the flight test,simulations under sevral modes including Model-in-the-Loop(MiL), Software-in-the-Loop(SiL) and Hardware-in-theLoop(HiL) were executed following the V-V process which ensuring the correctness and robustness of the control system. Specifically, MiL simulation are primarily used to verify the accuracy and robustness of the control strategies and parameters. SiL simulation focused on verifying the correctness of the code implementation. Whereas HiL testing mainly checked the operational correctness of the flight control hardware, the compatibility of flight control software within the flight control computer and the correctness of hardware I/O. In addition to these, further semi-physical simulations were possible on the HiL platform by replacing models of controlled objects with real devices such as IMUs and TVC actuators. And realistic flight conditions were replicated through turntables, TVC actuator loading tables etc.to achieve a more comprehensive validation and verification of the control system.展开更多

This paper introduces the design of a digital simulation platform for satellite launch mission verification.The platform has the advantages of high generality and extensibility, being easy to build up. The Functional Mockup Interface(FMI) Standard is adopted to achieve integration of multi-source models. A WebGL based 3D visual simulation tool is also adopted to implement the virtual display system which could display the rocket launch process and rocket-satellite separation with high fidelity 3D virtual scenes. A configuration tool was developed to map the 3D objects in the visual scene with simulation physical variables for complex rocket flight control mechanisms, which greatly improves the platform's generality and extensibility. Finally the real-time performance had been tested and the YL-1 launch mission was adopted to demonstrate the functions of the platform.The platform will be used to construct a digital twin system for satellite launch missions in the future.展开更多

Three models of constraint strategies include non-constraint model,elevating constraint model and lowering constraint model,which is designed to meet the leveling requirements in full working extent. Through the hydro-mechatronic unified modeling,a virtual prototype model is set up based on the auto-leveling mechanism,and leveling performances of the platform are studied during booms elevating to the maximum working height and extent. Simulation results show that the control method of booms-constraint can realize auto-leveling of the platform under two typical working conditions,meanwhile a leveling deviation appears at the constrained point,but the platform inclination is adjusted in the permissible range. The control method does not only restrict booms' freedom elevating to a certain extent,but also impacts the booms extending to the maximum working range. Experimental results verify that the auto-leveling mechanism based on booms-constraint control is valid and rational,which provides an effective technology approach for development of the platform leveling of MAV.展开更多

Based on the modeling method, the "AUV-XX" simulation platform was established to carry out fundamental tests on its motion characteristics, stability, and controllability. A motion control strategy consisting of both position and speed control in a horizontal plane was designed for different task assignments of underwater vehicles. Combined control of heave and pitch was adopted to compensate for the reduction of vertical tunnel thrusters when the vehicle is moving at a high speed. An improved S-surface controller based on the capacitor plate model was developed with flexible gain selections made possible by different forms of restricting the error and changing the rate of the error. Simulation results show that the derived general mathematical model together with simulation platform can provide a test bed for fundamental tests of motion control. Additionally, the capacitor plate model S-surface control shows a good performance in guiding the vehicle to achieve the desired position and speed with sufficient accuracy.展开更多

Three non-functional requirements (NFRs), i.e. model composability, domain specific modeling, and model evolvability, are gaining higher priority from CSES users when evaluating different modeling methodologies for CSES. Traditional CSES modeling methodologies are either domain-neutral (lack of domain characteristics consideration and limited support for model composability) or domain-oriented (lack of openness and evolvability) and fall short of the three NFRs. Inspired by the concept of architecture in systems engineering and software engineering fields, we extend it into a concept of model architecture for complex simulation systems, and propose a model architecture-oriented modeling methodology in which the model architecture plays a central role in achieving the three NFRs. Various model-driven engineering (MDE) approaches and technologies, including simulation modeling platform (SMP), unified modeling language (UML), domain specific modeling (DSM), eclipse modeling framework (EMF), graphical modeling framework (GMF), and so forth, are applied where possible in representing the CSES model architecture and its components' behaviors from physical and cognitive domain aspects. A prototype CSES system, called weapon effectiveness simulation system (WESS), and a non-trivial air-combat simulation example are presented to demonstrate the methodology.展开更多

文摘Digital twins can improve the level of control over physical entities and help manage complex systems by integrating a range of technologies.The autonomous agricultural machine has shown revolutionary effects on labor reduction and utilization rate in field works.Autonomous vehicles in precision agriculture have the potential to improve competitiveness compared to current crop production methods and have become a research hotspot.However,the development time and resources required in experiments have limited the research in this area.Simulation tools in unmanned farming that are required to enable more efficient,reliable,and safe autonomy are increasingly demanding.Inspired by the recent development of an open-source virtual simulation platform,this study proposed an autoware-based simulator to evaluate the performance of agricultural machine guidance based on digital twins.Oblique photogrammetry using drones is used to construct threedimensional maps of fields at the same scale as reality.A communication format suitable for agricultural machines was developed for data input and output,along with an inter-node communication methodology.The conversion,publishing,and maintenance of multiple coordinate systems were completed based on ROS(Robot Operating System).Coverage path planning was performed using hybrid curves based on Bézier curves,and it was tested in both a simulation environment and actual fields with the aid of Pure Pursuit algorithms and PID controllers.

文摘Distributed power flow controller,which is among the most powerful distributed flexible transmission equipments,is still only in the stage of the oretical research and digital simulation.In order to promote the engineering demonstration of a distributed power flow controller,it is urgent to establish a digital/analog simulation platform that supports closed-loop real-time simulation of a distributed power flow controller.In this paper,the electromagnetic transient model of a distributed power flow controller is established on ADPSS(advanced digital power system simulator).The rapid control prototype realized by dSPACE is connected to ADPSS to form a digital/analog simulation platform for a distributed power flow controller.Through a voltage control and power flow control simulation of the test system with a distributed power flow controller,the correctness and effectiveness of the constructed simulation platform are verified,which provides a new way for the verification of the new theory of a distributed power flow controller.
文摘In this paper, we present a new simulation platform of 3G (the third-generation mobile communication). Combined with the concept of Software Defined Radio (SDR) and complied with the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) proposal, first, we build up a general structure platform of the downlink physical layer based on 3G WCDMA (FDD) in COSSAP software package, then study such key technology of 3G as turbo encoders and decoders, RAKE receivers. The simulation result is similar to relevant documents. As a result, it could be applied as a basic platform to do further research on the key technology in SDR field.

文摘here has been a strong need for simulation environments that are capable of modeling deep interdependencies between complex systems encountered during natural hazards,such as the interactions and coupled effects between civil infrastructure systems response,human behavior,and social policies,for improved community resilience.Coupling such complex components with an integrated simulation requires continuous data exchange between different simulators simulating separate models during the entire simulation process.This can be implemented by means of distributed simulation platforms or data passing tools.In order to provide a systematic reference for simulation tool choice and facilitating the development of compatible distributed simulators for deep interdependent study in the context of natural hazards,this article focuses on generic tools suitable for integration of simulators from different fields but not the platforms that are mainly used in some specific fields.With this aim,the article provides a comprehensive review of the most commonly used generic distributed simulation platforms(Distributed Interactive Simulation(DIS),High Level Architecture(HLA),Test and Training Enabling Architecture(TENA),and Distributed Data Services(DDS))and data passing tools(Robot Operation System(ROS)and Lightweight Communication and Marshalling(LCM))and compares their advantages and disadvantages.Three specific limitations in existing platforms are identified from the perspective of natural hazard simulation.For mitigating the identified limitations,two platform design recommendations are provided,namely message exchange wrappers and hybrid communication,to help improve data passing capabilities in existing solutions and provide some guidance for the design of a new domain-specific distributed simulation framework.
