Flight physical modelling and simulations are valuable tools thorough the development process:
They provide performance data to validate the mission requirements. They are used to determine vehicle natural stability and dynamic effects. And they are essential to the design and tuning of control loops.
Accurate numerical modelling of aircraft performance and dynamics is essential for the success of every development.
Basic modelling with first principle formulas
Advanced modelling using full time-based simulation (6 DoF + Flex Modes)
Identification of stability derivatives
System Identification
Aerodynamic Database development from CFD data
CFD Tools: StarCCM+, FlightStream, OpenFoam

Developed aircraft dynamic models can then be incorporated into off-line or real-time simulations, with or without a pilot or operator in the loop.
Evaluate control system performance
Investigate control system loads
Evaluate pilot workload
Initial assessment of performance and certification requirements
