J2 Active

J2 Active

The J2 Active plug-in enables users to integrate easily constructed configuration managed aircraft models into existing MATLAB/Simulink simulations. J2 Active integrates the power of the J2 Universal Tool-Kit into your current design capabilities and establishes an effective interface with both MATLAB® and Simulink® software models. As a result, you can link configurations managed, high fidelity aircraft models seamlessly into any Simulink® model or efficiently embed libraries straight into any software package.


J2 Active Key Features:

  1. MATLAB®/ Simulink® Blockset
    • Build models quickly with the J2 Builder plug-in and then analyze results with MATLAB® models.
  2. Connect the J2 Universal Tool-Kit to your Current Solutions
    • Instantly integrate your existing design packages with the power of the J2 Universal Tool-Kit.
  3. Easy-to-use Interface for Building Simulink® Models
    • Map input and output signals straight through the GUI.
  4. Monitor all Aircraft States, Loads and Internal Conditions
    • All signals can be output from the model for data recording purposes.
  5. Easy-to-use Graphical Interface
    • Aircraft models can be selected straight from the database and connected quickly and easily.
  6. Embed Detailed Models into Existing Simulations
    • Users no longer need to create extensive text files defining aircraft dynamics or look at simplifying data models for convenience.
    • Complex models can be constructed and connected straight in to the existing solution.
  7. Integrated Configuration Management
    • No need for the simulation to be out of step with the aerodynamics.
    • Always work with the latest version; changes to the aircraft model are automatically applied.
  8. User Defined Links
    • These enable users to mix pilot controls to control surfaces or ‘daisy chain’ links to create complex systems.
    • Control surfaces can be scheduled to create flatspots or dead bands.
  9. Data Centric Database
    • Flight mechanics get to concentrate on their own area of expertise, knowing they will always have the correct aircraft model.
    • Aircraft data models can be developed by aerodynamics personnel, while flight mechanics perform simulations.
  10. User Defined Model Structure
    • Quickly build models using the hierarchy available in J2 Builder and simply connect up inputs and outputs to the appropriate signals within your simulation in a single step.
  11. Update and Run
    • Start/Stop, Change the aircraft model without having to update the simulation. Simply run the new version.
  12. Work with Variants of the Same Aircraft
    • Optimize the aircraft and add robustness into the Flight Control System – create deltas and run parallel simulation, investigating ‘what-if’ cases and how design changes affect the FCS.
  13. Output any of the Aircraft Signals
    • Quickly map internal values from the aircraft model to monitor loads, coefficients and internal user defined values for a more detailed insight.
  14. Define and Name the Data Ports
    • Create easily readable Simulink® models by structuring the ports in a way that will give you the clearest insight.
