Abstract

This application paper describes the concept of and needs on model based specifications of the basic behavior of aircraft systems and methods to check the requirements. It is demonstrated how a Modelica based implementation, especially with the new Modelica Requirements library together with additional FFT-based requirement blocks, has advantages over an existing tool chain of an airframer.

Keywords

executable specification; requirements; system design; aircraft design; FFT-based requirements
