Aerosim/MATLAB/SIMULINK UAV simulation

Hi all,

So Ive decided to simulate a UAV in MATLAB/SIMULINK using the Aerosim Blockset by uDynamics, which so far I have not had much luck in succeding in, and that not many people have heard off or have used this blockset (thats the impression that I am getting), which makes it that little bit harder to work with.

I realised whilst using Aerosim, that I was not using a propulsion engine on my UAV (electric UAV) so had no data to set into the Aerosim blockset for analysis, which is a major draw back. I tried to remove the propulsion engine data requirments but have not been able to get a working simulation model.

If anyone has used Aerosim, and can help me with this problem, that would be greatly appreciated.

The 2nd method, which I have decided to do is to develop my own simulation model from scratch using the 6-DOF equations of motion. However I was wondering if someone could help me or give me a few pointers on how I can develop a matlab script and then implement it in a simulink model.

Ive worked out which equations I need and can easily write them in a script, however how can I input initial conditions which the eqations require and then show the outputs from them?

Thanks

Adeel

Hi Adeel,

Hope you are well? Did you ever get any help with this?

Best regards
Anthony

Hi Adeel,Anthony,

I'm working to an electrical engine UAV too and I have now the same problem that you had..did you solve it?
Can you help me to build an equivalent model of aerosim?

Thank you very much,
Veronica

I have lots of final year projects data about UAVs and that kind of problems but the thing is I`m trying to find AeroSim BlockSet for my final year project.. Can you please send it to my email suat...@gmail.com... I think it`s 15 MB.

Hi saut
Sorry for the late reply you should be able to download Aerosim from u-dynamincs who are the developers at http://www.u-dynamics.com/aerosim/default.htm

And hi Veronica

It is quite difficult to model an electrical engine. The way I did the was to find the equivalent power output from an electrical engine and then relate this back to rpm values for a combustion engine

Hi,

The link http://www.u-dynamics.com/aerosim/default.htm is not working any more.

I'm looking for the Aerosim CD of installation but I have not founded yet. could anybody send to my e-mail or tell me another link to install?

Thank you

Adeel,

You might want to checkout www.aerospacepro.com.

Using web.archive.org I have managed to obtain access to the last version of the aerosim website. The link is below:

Hello Sir, Did u find any solution for the second method?

I got a reserch paper, in which a 6dof non linear equations are modeleld from scratch, it helped me a lot. Below is the title of the paper. There is matlab code and C code too... for modelling 6dof equations and a mission specific model. Hope it helps :)

for an Autonomous Air Vehicle by Adam Ufford, B.S.M.E.,Texas Tech University"

Thank You,
