ASD/CLAS Analysis Steps

Establish Configuration Management on Components

• Stiffness, mass, and damping matrices
• Output transformation matrices
• Forcing functions
• DMM bulk-data and label files

Execute Math Model Checks

• Check results must be accepted by analyst in order to proceed with analyses

Setup all analysis configurations (liftoff, transonic, abort, ...) up front

• “Click” and “add” components for each analysis configuration(s)

For each analysis configuration select:

• Forcing functions
• Analysis parameters
  • Analysis type: linear, nonlinear, ...
  • Time-step, system or component damping, ...

For each analysis configuration, define constraint equations between component interfaces

• Rigid constraints; MPCs
• Soft constraints (springs, dampers)
• Nonlinear constraints (deadbands, snubbers, pad-sep, nonlinear springs); MPCs

Execute all analyses

Review all max/mins, time-histories, response spectra

Generate custom report(s)
