Tool Development

Methods for Discipline integration/zooming using agents framework (Task 7?)
Geometry Parts Library for Standardized Card Package Integration
  • Develop geometry parts library to provide a standardized parametric representation of parts to enable commonality and reproductibility across geometry packages of differing fidelities (e.g., RAM and ProE)
Intelligent Sim Assisted Design
  • Methods for re-design decision making
  • Intelligent multi-source, multi-fidelity data fusion
  • Re-design data generation reduction methods
RASC Tools
  • RAM upgrades
  • Flight Sim upgrades
  • Ducted Fan Addition to ACSYNT
Performance/Cost/Risk/IVHM Integration
  • Develop integration methods between HAVOC Performance analysis and Cost and Safety analysis tools to be identified by the task requestor. Define data exchange and output requirements and the appropriate strategy for integration. Interfaces to selected tools must be documented and developed flexibly in an object approach to enable future integration with newly developed performance tools and tools in other frameworks.
"Son of HAVOC"
  • Architecture Definition/Documentation
    • Define, document and develop a distributed object architecture to enable to integration of and access to a library of analysis tools. The tools, which will be of multiple fidelities across multiple disciplines, must be able to interoperate as a single integrated process as well as in standalone mode, integrating with other codes in other frameworks (e.g., ISE tools in a Model Center framework)
  • Interface Requirements Documentation
    • Define requirements for tool interface definitions, documentation, and automated publication to other tools and frameworks.
  • Requirements Documentation (elicited from domain specialists)
    • Working with and in support of domain experts, document overall functional requirements for the integrated conceptual analysis suite and for each of the discipline codes.
  • Code Development
    • For selected disciplines listed below, develop object-oriented code to meet the documented functional requirements. New tools must be written according to requirements identified for the distributed object architecture and interface compliance.
  • S/W Integration and Test
    • Integrate tools from ARC and other Centers within the integration architecture. Develop and implement test plans to ensure compliance of codes with requirements.
