Incremental Designs are common and highly practiced approach in every avionics system design process. Designing a new system from ground-up is prone to multiple issues right from technical to overall cost required. Even a minor up gradation of application software may cause huge impact on the overall system performance and power consumption. Predicting system performance and power details early in the design flow using system level design will reduce dependency on costly prototyping and increased project duration.
VisualSim Architect has been deployed by over 25 aerospace and space companies for the design of next generation avionics systems development. VisualSim Architect is a graphical modeling and simulation environment. This environment is used to analyze and validate the proposed avionics system. Few applications of VisualSim in Aerospace domain are selecting processors, memories, interconnects, validate task execution for meeting hard real time requirements, power consumption and management.
VisualSim’s extensive set of configurable libraries substantially reduces total model development time and provides enough room for conducting extensive analysis. Libraries includes hardware (Processor, memory, backplanes etc), software, RTOS, middleware, communication links, sensors, interfaces, networks and workloads. Companies have designed the entire avionics and sub-systems such as navigation, position tracking, flight control, radar, tracking, anti-lock braking, unmanned vehicle drive and integrated modular architecture.
