Abstract

Abstract:

To address the interoperability issues between architecture and simulation modeling tools in the design process of the landing gear system, a landing gear system model integration technology based on model-based systems engineering (MBSE) was proposed. This technology enabled the bidirectional transfer of cross-domain information and interface interoperability between architecture modeling and simulation modeling tools. First, the landing gear system architecture model was constructed using the multiple architecture modeling language called kombination of architecture model specification (KARMA), which was then utilized to generate the simulation model. Next, semantic mapping rules for the models were established, and an integrated data model for the simulation model was created by parsing its content. Additionally, a simulation tool adapter was developed to unify the compilation of heterogeneous data and to integrate the architecture and simulation models. Experimental results demonstrated that this method effectively enabled the bidirectional transfer of design information between heterogeneous models and ensured interoperability between architecture and simulation modeling tools, thereby supporting the integration of architecture and simulation models in the landing gear system.

Key words: model-based systems engineering, model integration, landing gear system, KARMA, Simulink
