THE APPLICATION OF MATLAB AND SIMULINKBAE Systems Naval Ships


MATLAB & Simulink Analysis

MATLAB and Simulink products replaced Fortran in the early 90s. Typically used by

specialists to analyse systems within the naval domain.

• Replenishment at Sea (RAS)

• Loading/loading of Landing Craft

• Aircraft Carrier Steam Systems

• Shock Mounting System Assessments

• Helicopter Lashings


Helicopter Handling Analysis

‘Shipborne handling arrangements require a capability to capture, move and

restrain aircraft of one or more types in high sea states and adverse weather

conditions’

Overview

• Simulation developed in MATLAB and Simulink

• Generation of extreme sea state conditions

• Validated baseline Simulink model

• Additional modules added to a baseline model

• Visualisation used to illustrate results

• Used to support platform safety case development


Analysis Overview


Summary Points

• Integral part of acceptance process

• Enabled examination at extreme Sea States

• Confirmation of the acceptability of dynamic loads

to the Aircraft and Ship Design Authorities

• Definition of safe operating limits

• PRISM System accepted into service through

simulated trial

• Cost effective as simulation reduced the sea trial

requirement

THE APPLICATION OF SIMULINK CODER

AND EMBEDDED CODER

On-Board Training Plant Simulation


Type 45 Platform Management System (PMS)

• Used to control and monitor plant, fire/flood alarms and tank contents etc.

• Plant auto-start to maintain pressure, electrical supply etc.

• Automatic system reconfiguration, system interlocks, start/stop sequencing

• Weapons management support

• Distributed across platform for “Graceful Degradation”

• 13,500+ control and monitoring signals

• 300+ screens


Type 45 PMS On-board Trainer


Ship Control Centre

TanksPumpPLC

Server

ValvesDG

Zone Control Posts

• Utilises any of the PMS workstations

• Flexible Instructor fault insertion and control

• Maintain PMS look and “feel real”

• Coverage: 16 Systems

• PMS Trainer integrated into every Type 45

• Shore-based Trainers at HMS Phoenix and HMS Sultan

• 530 Faults - e.g. ruptures, floods, trips etc.

• 20+ Hardware Outstations e.g. DG, GT and HV Panels

Why Simulink and Embedded Encoder?

Simulink?

• Simulink used within the group ‘our tool of choice’

• Simulink environment increases flexibility, allows Mechanical, Electrical and Software

Engineers to work together

• A high level description that can be run, tuned and tested

Simulink Coder and Embedded Coder?

• Generated code executable exactly as the Simulink model

• Enhanced code performance with no dependency upon Simulink model

• No baggage in the form of Windows references

• Embedded Coder chosen to minimise local variable memory ‘mushrooming’

• Generated code easily tailored for external control and initial states.

Modelling Comments

• Individual system models developed and tested before integration

• Consolidated test harness used for overall system

• All faults represent a physical event e.g. fuel supply pipe rupture causing a diesel

to stop, diesel tank to empty and the bilge to fill.

• Discrete time step – auto coding requirement!

• Goto/From tags used extensively within model to reduce complexity

• All tags and scopes generated automatically from PMS specification

• Hierarchal cascade of library systems and components

• Large initialisation state incorporating an automated capture process


In Summary

• Concurrent development with Type 45 systems

• Common Ship/Shore based Plant Simulation Model

• 16 Systems, 10000+ I/O and 530 Instructor Faults

• PMS, Instructor and Local Control

• 14 Local Control Panels and Outstations

• Approx. 250,000 lines of ‘error free’ c code generated

• Cost effective code generation – 3 man project team

• The design resides within the Simulink model and not the c code

• Plant simulation executable much smaller and more efficient than Simulink model

• Fast turnaround – functionality changes approx. 1 day


THE APPLICATION OF MATLAB COMPILERApplication Development


TRACIT Combat System Analysis Tool

Provides graphical and statistical information characterising the performance of

sensors and Command System

• Developed using MATLAB

• Deployed using MATLAB Compiler

• Compares sensors with true data

• Capable of handling large data sets

• Fast and versatile analysis


Using TRACIT

• Provides a rapid and reliable Combat Systems assessment within hours of the data being

made available

• Provides an indication of Tactical Picture Quality by a single number with readily understood

charts and animations

• Easily adapted to Combat Systems with differing sensors etc.

• Process uses data recorded entirely within the platform under test and does not require the

use of expensive 'ground truth' data

• Tactical Picture quality can be assessed without the need for an expensive formally

constituted trial

• Used primarily to generate evidence from trials to support system acceptance


Shock Mounting Assessment Tool

• Interface developed using MATLAB Guide

• Underpinned by a MATLAB 6DoF model

• Compiled application deployed directly into project

• Automated and standardised reporting


Shock Mounting Assessment Tool

• Created an effective, efficient and repeatable design process

• Designers have access to a specialist mounting system design tool

• Design assessment integral to the design process

• Provided an audit trail for mounting system acceptance

• Reduce the cost of mounting design and re-work

• Commonality of mount design reduced through life platform costs

Role of Modelling

• Assess the Combat System at varying levels of system composition & provide disclosure of

expected performance through life

• To manage the customer

• To understand performance sensitivity

• To support the engineering team

• Traditionally Achieved:

• Islands of specialist tools

• Limited Integration

• Large volume of data transportation & translation

• Large volume of qualitative post processing

• Vital to change this methodology “Combat Systems Role: Integrator of systems”


• Combine these tools under a Unified Ship Integration Modelling Tool

• Integrated with System Engineering Tools

• Push the tools to the front line

• Deliver through life product understanding to the customer

• Continually Enhance & Develop the tools capability
