Cranes, Mathworks offer Aerospace Blockset 2 in India

BANGALORE: Cranes Software International Ltd., a scientific & engineering software products and solutions provider, along with The MathWorks Inc., makers of MATLAB & Simulink Technical Computing & Simulation software, today announced the availability of the Aerospace Blockset 2 in India.

The new FlightGear Flight Simulator Interface builds on the foundation of Simulink and model-based design for aerospace vehicle modeling, simulation, and visualization.

New features bring high-quality flight simulation graphics to the desktop, where modeling and simulation is more accessible and economical than design and test conducted in a lab.

Additionally, the new version provides off-the-shelf, drag-and-drop representations of aerospace components using standards-based reference models. Consequently, engineers can use the Aerospace Blockset 2 to optimize vehicle subsystem configurations and rapidly perform subsequent tradeoff studies earlier in the design stage.

Interfacing with FlightGear flight simulator software, new animation blocks in the Aerospace Blockset 2 enable users to visualize vehicle dynamics in a sophisticated 3-D simulation framework. Engineers can now quickly evaluate and verify complex flight dynamics before committing to a final design by using Simulink for multidomain simulation and Model-Based Design.
