j2 Active

ENHANCE VALUE FROM EXISTING DATA

Organisations with existing solutions that partly fulfil their design and engineering needs can still take advantage of the j2 Universal Tool-Kit’s unique design capabilities – without abandoning their own simulations. That’s where the j2 Active plug-in comes to the fore.

j2 Active integrates the power of the j2 Universal Tool-Kit with your current design capabilities and provides a highly effective interface to any external application to analyses j2 Universal models. j2 Active also has an existing built in interface to Matlab Simulink© so you can start work without delay.

The result is to that you can link configurations managing high fidelity aircraft models seamlessly into any Simulink© model or efficiently embed libraries straight into any software package.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS

  • Open interface allows analyses written in any language to communicate directly with models and results from j2 Universal.

2

Collaborative Working

  • Merge all your existing analyses into a single environment working from consistent data across all disciplines.
  • Provides a Central Design Environment

3

Matlab/Simulink Enabled

Pre-Built Simulink© Block can be dropped straight into existing or new system designs without any need to write scripts for recording data back to the database.

Advantages and Benefits

Easy-to-use Graphical User Interface

Logically build up the lifting surface geometry and planform to match any shape and profile. Multiple configurations can be evaluated very quickly.

Automatic Dynamic Behaviour Calculations

No need to go through the lengthy process of calculating dynamic derivatives and characteristics. Complete aircraft dynamic behaviour can be found from simple airfoil section coefficients.

Assess Designs from the Very Beginning

Why wait until CFD or Wind Tunnel data has been generated? With simple basic characteristics, the aircraft can be ‘flown’ straight away, using J2 Freedom.

Assess Any Design

The functionality of J2 Elements does not depend on the aircraft conforming to a specific design so any configuration and design can be evaluated.

Automatic Load Distribution

From the simple information entered into J2 Elements, the lift distribution across the wing is calculated dynamically, enabling loads and stresses to be evaluated.

Twist and Dihedral Effects

Enter the twist and neutral point distribution for any planform and let J2 Elements investigate its impacts on handling characteristics. Assess tip stall and the impact of washout straight away.

Optimised Design

Because of the speed at which the data can be entered, multiple configurations of wing shapes and aircraft designs can be assessed and compared, to get the best characteristics with the minimum amount of effort.
