This paper describes modeling & simulation(M&S) model for dynamic analysis of helicopter rotor blades. Simulation model is developed using Dymola tool which implements the open source language - Modelica. Modelica is appropriate for developing multibody dynamic analysis model. To develop an M&S model efficiently, model based systems engineering(MBSE) is applied. Some diagrams such as requirement diagram, block definition diagram and sequence diagram etc. are drawn to capture the concept of M&S model. This activity is done utilizing the open source tool - Papyrus.

An integrated simulation program for an artificial satellite's operation has been developed. The program integrates and simulates orbit mechanics, attitude control, power/energy transition and mass variation. In the early stages of satellite development, this program can be used as a communication tool among design engineers of different fields. As a result, the efficiency to design a satellite is expected to increase. This program has been coded by Modelica language which supports acausal and object oriented programming methods. Libraries are developed for satellite simulation, and simulation results are presented.

Today, we are using computer simulations in various engineering disciplines to reduce the time and cost of product development. The scope of simulations is increasingly complex and diverse for different fields such as mechanical, electrical, thermal, and fluid. Thus, it is necessary to use integrated simulations. In order to overcome these problems, a language has been developed to effectively describe and implement simulations is Modelica. To model and simulate a system, physical models can be broadly divided into causal and acausal models. The most important feature of Modelica is acausal programming. In this study, we will introduce simple concepts and explain about the usage of Modelica. Furthermore, we will explain the vibration analysis of a two degree-of-freedom system and the design of appropriate parameters by using Modelica.

An integrated flight simulation program for multicopter drones is presented. The program includes rigid body dynamics, propeller thrust, battery energy, control, and air. Using this program, users can monitor and analyze the states of drones along flight trajectories. As a programming language, Modelica has been chosen, that specializes in simulation program development. Modelica enables users to develop simulation programs efficiently due to acausal and object oriented properties. For missions including horizontal and vertical maneuvers, many dynamical states of drones have been analyzed with simulation results.

Space exploration spacecraft carry large amounts of liquid fuel, often more than half. In such cases, the liquid fuel sloshing must be considered in the design of the spacecraft since the sloshing can affects the stability of the spacecraft. In this paper, we present the results of analyzing the sloshing of fuel and the dynamic behavior of the spacecraft. For the purpose, a model in which the maneuvering of the spacecraft causes the sloshing and a model in which the reaction force and moment due to the sloshing are transmitted to the spacecraft are developed. The dynamical behavior of the spacecraft are analyzed using a simulation program coded by Modelica.

The interaction model between variable-speed control moment gyros and a satellite has been studied based on the multi-body dynamics. Using the interaction model, we could obtain data for the design of VCMG motors and the strength design of structure. The interaction effects of flexible modules such as solar panels were included. Flexible modes are excited by the satellite's maneuver, and these modes cause perturbations in the satellite attitude. We developed a simulation program by Modelica and verified the proposed model.

Solar energy is one of the most important alternative energy sources which have been shown to meet high levels of heating and cooling demands in buildings. However, the efficiencies to satisfy these demands using solar energy significantly vary based on the characteristics of individual building. Therefore, this paper is focused on developing the methodology which can help to design optimal solar system for heating and cooling to be in cooperated within the existing buildings according to their load profiles. This research has established the Solar Heating and Cooling (SHC) system which is composed of collectors, absorption chiller, boiler and heat storage tank. Each component of SHC system is analyzed and made by means of Modelica Language and Pistache tool is verified the results. Sequential approximate optimization (SAO) and meta-models determined to 15 design parameters to optimize SHC system. Finally, total coefficient of performance (COP) of the entire SHC system is improved approximately 7.3% points compared to total COP of the base model of the SHC system.

The purpose of this research is to develop co-simulation methodology of codes developed in different modeling and simulation environment. We develop aerodynamic FMU(Functional Mock-up Unit) meeting FMI(Functional Mock-up Interface) specification version2 utilizing Legacy FORTRAN aerodynamic code based on unsteady vortex lattice method. It is concluded that making FMU is possible utilizing Legacy code made in any language which can be compiled and linked with object in FMI API coded in C language. This paper explains QTronic's method of using FMU SDK(Software Development Kit) and suggestion for using FORTRAN properly. Finally, we make articulated rotor/aerodynamics co-simulation by integrating aerodynamics FMU and rotor FMU developed by Modelica.

Purpose: This paper presents a framework development for BIM (Building Information Modeling)-based OOPM (Object-Oriented Physical Modeling) for Building Thermal Simulation. The framework facilitates decision-making in the design process by integrating two object-oriented modeling approaches (BIM and OOPM) and efficiently providing object-based thermal simulation results into the BIM environment. Method: The framework consists of a system interface between BIM and OOPM-based building energy modeling (BEM) and the visualization of simulation results for building designers. The interface enables a BIM models to be translated into OOPM-based BEM automatically and the thermal simulation from the created BEM model immediately. The visualization module enables the simulation results to be presented in BIM for building designers to comprehend the relationships between design decisions and the building performances. For the framework implementation, we utilized the Modelica Buildings Library developed by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory as a thermal simulation solver. We also conducted an experiment to validate the framework simulation results and demonstrate our framework. Result: This paper demonstrates a new methodology to integrate BIM and OOPM-based BEM for building thermal simulation, which enables an automatic translation BIM into OOPM-based BEM with high efficiency and accuracy.

Modern aircraft are high-performance and lightweight. Thus, the characteristics of the flexible structure appear and affect flight performance or limit it. These flexible characteristics need to be analyzed from the early stages of aircraft design. To this end, a program to analyze the dynamic and static behavior of flexible aircraft has been developed and the results are presented. Based on the multi-body dynamics simulation technique, rigid flight mechanics, structural vibrating behavior, and unsteady aerodynamics have been developed and integrated. Lastly, the level flight and the turn flight of the flexible characteristic aircraft have been analyzed using this integrated simulation program.
