Aerospace Blockset

What Is the Aerospace Blockset?

The Aerospace Blockset brings the full power of Simulink® to aerospace system design, integration, and simulation by providing key aerospace subsystems and components in the adaptable Simulink block format. From environmental models to equations of motion, from gain scheduling to animation, the blockset gives you the core components to rapidly and efficiently assemble a broad range of large aerospace system architectures.

Use the Aerospace Blockset and Simulink to develop your aerospace system concepts, and to efficiently revise and test throughout the life cycle of your design. Use the Aerospace Blockset together with Real-Time Workshop® to automatically generate code for real-time execution in rapid prototyping and for hardware-in-the-loop systems.

The Aerospace Blockset is a collection of block libraries for use with Simulink. The blockset extends Simulink by providing core components for large aerospace systems. You can use blocks from the Aerospace Blockset in the same way that you would use any other Simulink blocks, combining them with blocks from other libraries to create sophisticated aerospace systems.

The Aerospace Blockset libraries are designed specifically for aerospace applications and include such key operations as environmental modeling, modeling equations of motion, gain scheduling, unit conversion, and more.

You will find that the blockset can be put to work rapidly. The blocks implement mathematical representations from textbooks and references and the experience of the engineers at The MathWorks.

THE PROGRAMS SHOULD NOT BE RELIED ON AS THE SOLE BASIS TO SOLVE A PROBLEM WHOSE INCORRECT SOLUTION COULD RESULT IN INJURY TO PERSON OR PROPERTY. THE PROGRAMS ARE NOT DESIGNED NOR TESTED FOR A LEVEL OF RELIABILITY SUITABLE FOR USE AS CRITICAL COMPONENTS IN ANY LIFE SUPPORT OR OTHER INFORMATION SYSTEMS OR HARDWARE, THE FAILURE OF WHICH CAN REASONABLY BE EXPECTED TO CAUSE DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY OR ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE. LICENSEE AGREES THAT PRIOR TO USING, INCORPORATING OR DISTRIBUTING THE PROGRAMS IN ANY PRODUCT, IT WILL THOROUGHLY TEST THE PRODUCT AND THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE PROGRAMS IN THAT PRODUCT AND BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PROBLEMS OR FAILURES.

The Aerospace Blockset contains a collection of blocks organized in a set of nested libraries. The best way to explore the blockset is to expand the Aerospace Blockset entry in the Simulink Library Browser. The fully expanded library list is shown here.

See the Simulink documentation for complete information about the Library Browser. To access the blockset through its own window (rather than through the Library Browser), enter

• aerolib
  

in the MATLAB Command Window. Double-click any library in the window to display its contents.
