LMS Imagine.Lab Flight Controls

LMS Imagine.Lab Flight Controls supports the design and optimization of flight control systems by using an unparalleled multi-domain system simulation approach. It easily handles the combinations of hydraulics, 2D mechanics and electrics in a unique modeling environment.

As flight control actuation systems become more complex, the AMESim multi-domain approach is essential to understand the interactions between diverse systems, including electrical (elevators, ailerons, roll spoilers, tail plane trim, slats and flaps, speed brakes/lift dumpers, trims), mechanical (rudder, tail plane trim) and hydraulic control systems. 

Moreover, the solution makes it possible to handle the development of various flight control actuation systems (mechanical, direct drive, electro-mechanical, electro-hydrostatic) by integrating it into different CAE attribute analyses like flexible multi-body and stress analysis as well as fatigue damage prediction.

The unique Component Design libraries concept (Hydraulic, Thermal Hydraulic and Pneumatic), coupled with mechanical and electro-mechanical libraries, can execute a detailed modeling in order to design high dynamic components such as nozzle flapper flow control servo valves, pressures valves and any kind of piloted fluid component.

With LMS Imagine.Lab Flight Controls, users can include different components (electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic) and perform evaluations of different functional performance attributes (multi-body, stress, durability) in a common environment. LMS Imagine.Lab Flight Controls supports the system validation process and explores the flexible bodies and mechanisms of the complete system.
