Hi all,

So Ive decided to simulate a UAV in MATLAB/SIMULINK using the Aerosim Blockset by uDynamics, which so far I have not had much luck in succeding in, and that not many people have heard off or have used this blockset (thats the impression that I am getting), which makes it that little bit harder to work with.

I realised whilst using Aerosim, that I was not using a propulsion engine on my UAV (electric UAV) so had no data to set into the Aerosim blockset for analysis, which is a major draw back. I tried to remove the propulsion engine data requirments but have not been able to get a working simulation model.

If anyone has used Aerosim, and can help me with this problem, that would be greatly appreciated.

The 2nd method, which I have decided to do is to develop my own simulation model from scratch using the 6-DOF equations of motion. However I was wondering if someone could help me or give me a few pointers on how I can develop a matlab script and then implement it in a simulink model.

Ive worked out which equations I need and can easily write them in a script, however how can I input initial conditions which the eqations require and then show the outputs from them?

Thanks

Adeel
