Abstract

This paper is concerned with the development of a new, unified software tool for the modeling, simulation and highly realistic visualization for parafoil systems. A nonlinear high-fidelity two-body calculation considering eight degrees of freedom is a substantial aspect of the simulation process that is included in the software tool. Important special aspects of parafoils, such as relative motion between airfoil and payload as well as the influence of the large air volume of the canopy with its effects to the system, are considered in all sub-modules of the software toolbox. The complete multi-body interaction in the simulation process is included during the visualization process including possible dynamic flexible deformations of the parafoil surfaces.
