Abstract
There is hardly any paper dealing with the topic of simulation and modelling for space applications without touching on the topic of model reuse. Simulation and modelling plays a key role during the entire lifecycle of a space project and the investments done in simulation models is a significant part of the overall cost of any space project. Due to this, it is natural that several ways have been invented to reduce the cost of simulation modelling by increasing model reuse. This paper will concentrate on how the ECSS-E-TM-40-07 Simulation Modelling Platform specification can be used as a fundament to build up an entire effective approach to simulation and modelling covering the entire space project It will look at several areas like â?¢ Model development techniques covering the typical software development lifecycle, specification, design, implementation, testing. â?¢ Model evolution from early concept studies (Phase A activities) until high fidelity models (Phase E activities). â?¢ Model reuse between projects for models with similar requirements. â?¢ Model design for reuse by applying reference architectures. â?¢ Model exchange between organisations by building Library of Models. Finally, by as well taking into account the importance of platform independency, the paper will show how the ECSS-E-TM-40-07 supports all the needs of the European Space Sector.
