Press Room - Latest Press Releases

Who :  The MathWorks, the world's leading developer of technical computing and Model-Based Design software for engineers and scientists in industry, government, and education.

What : Jim Tung, MathWorks Fellow, will discuss the benefits of Model-Based Design during the 2006 AIAA Modeling and Simulation Technologies (MST) Conference Plenary Session.

MathWorks experts will present papers about multidomain modeling of flight simulator landing gear and generating automatic flight code at the Modeling and Simulation Technologies Conference.

The MathWorks will showcase MATLAB®, Simulink ®, and their related product families in Booth 15 at the Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GN&C) Conference Exhibit.

Where/When:  The 2006 AIAA GN&C and MST Conferences will be held at the Keystone Research and Conference Center, Keystone Colorado, August 21-24, 2006.  The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Guidance, Navigation, and Control Conference and Modeling and Simulation Technologies Conference, held jointly each year, convene prominent scientists and engineers in the aerospace industry to discuss the latest technology advancements in designing, developing, testing, constructing, and operating air and space vehicles.

At this year's forum, The MathWorks will deliver the following technical presentations:

Tuesday, August 22 at 8:00 a.m., Modeling and Simulation Technologies Conference Plenary Session, Red Cloud Peak - MathWorks Fellow Jim Tung headlines the Modeling and Simulation Technologies Conference with his talk, “Benefits of Model-Based Design for Aerospace System Development and Verification.”

Monday, August 21 at 2:30 p.m., Session 39-MST-5, Castle Peak II - Tom Erkkinen will present the paper “Automatic Flight Code Generation with Integrated Static Run-Time Error Checking and Code Analysis,” which describes using Model-Based Design to create executable specifications, automatically generating flight code, and performing verification and validation activities on the model. Chris Hote of Polyspace Technologies is coauthor.

Thursday, August 24 at 10:00 a.m., Session 131-MST-25, Castle Peak III - Rohit Shenoy will present the paper “Creating Flight Simulator Landing Gear Models Using Multidomain Modeling Tools,” which describes how to create a high-fidelity plant model of an aircraft’s landing gear using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software for inclusion into a full aircraft flight simulator. Terry Denery and Jason Ghidella are coauthors.
