Remarks

This map explicitly specifies limitations of a vehicle in terms of angles of attack and sideslip angles. All vectors, i.e. altitude, machNumber, angleOfSideslip and angleOfAttack, must have the same length. To avoid redundancy with the aeroPerformanceMap, this type does not contain any aerodynamic coefficients.

Since angleOfSideslip and angleOfAttack are closely interdependent for a given machNumber and altitude combination, a positive and negative maximum angleOfAttack is defined for a given combination of machNumber, altitude and angleOfSideslip. The limits of angleOfSideslip can be determined by evaluating the nominal decrease of angleOfAttack values or by agreeint with the data supplier that the minimum and maximum value of the angleOfSideslip vector corresponds with physical limits.

In order to avoid data redundancy, the operational limits should not reflect the extrema of aerodynamic coefficients as these can be extracted from the performanceMap via interpolation.

Note: In future CPACS versions, a revision of the aeroLimitsMap will be targeted, since operational limits are not a purely aerodynamic issue.

Remarks

The aeroMap contains aerodynamic coefficients and derivatives for a specific set of aerodynamic and configurative boundary conditions.

The aeroMap allows for the simultaneous specification of multiple controlDevice settings. In this case, it is assumed that a cumulative setting is built by summing up the individual settings. The correct sequence of this summation is described in the controlDistributorType documentation.

Description

The aeroPerformanceMap contains a map with aerodynamic data of the complete aircraft in the form of nondimensional coefficients. The force coefficients in i-direction (ci) are nondimensionalized by dynamic pressure and reference area, the moment coefficients (cmi) by dynamic pressure, reference area and reference length.

All coefficients in the aeroPerformanceMap relate to the aerodynamic coordinate system which is deducted from the CPACS coordinate system by the transformations of angle of attack and angle of yaw. See the documentation of the CPACS element for further details.

The dependent parameters of the aeroPerformanceMap are altitude, machNumber, angleOfSideslip and angleOfAttack. These elements are vectors of equal length, where values with identical indices belong together. The solution vectors ci and cmi have the same length as the input vectors. Shown below is an example where with 10 values per vector:

<cl mapType="vector">-0.1;0.04;0.18;0.32;0.46;-0.08;0.03;0.14;0.25;0.36</cl>

The aerodynamic coefficients for
altitude=1200m,
machNumber=0.2,
angleOfSideslip=0° and
angleOfAttack=6° can be found at the 5th index:
cd=0.208, cs=0 and cl=0.46.

Remarks

The aircraftModelType contains the geometric aircraft model and associated data.

Elements specifying the geometry of the aircraft are fuselages, wings, engines (referenced via uID), enginePylons, landingGear, systems (to some extend) and genericGeometryComponents.

Other elements are dedicated to additional data associated to this aircraft model. Brief and concise analysis results are stored in the global node. The analysis node contains extensive results from multidisciplinary analysis modules.

In the current CPACS version requirements only refer to the aircraft performance and are therefore specified in the performanceRequirements node.

The x-coordinate is typically chosen same as of the leading edge of the wing in the spanwise section having a chordlength identical to MAC. Coordinates given as %MAC shall always use this x-coordinate and length (e.g. 0%MAC = x, 100%MAC = x + length). The y coordinate is typically 0. The z coordinate is often chosen either as 0., or as z of fueselage nose or as z of middle of center fuselage part.

Remarks

[WARNING: This type is known to be susceptible to inconsistencies and might therefore be removed in a future version of CPACS]

The geometry of the cabin roughly corresponds to the available design space in the cabin. It is given in terms of constant height contour lines. The lines all share a common x-vector. The y vector provides the lateral contour at z-coordinate provided by the constant value z. One or more contour lines can be given. The cabin geometry is assumed to be symmetric.

Describes the contributions of a specific par within a wing segment to the total aerodynamic coefficients of a wing segment strip

A chordwisePart describes the contributions of a specific chordwise part within a wing strip to the total aerodynamic coefficients of this strip. It extends spatially between the two eta positions of the parent strip (see strip documentation) and four xsi positions in the segment coordinate system. As with the parent stips, only the trailing border (..ToSegmentXsi) of a chordwisePart is defined, while the leading border always equals the trailing border of the preceding chordwisePart (or 0 for the first part). To account for oblique trailing borders (e.g., to match the aileron on a tapered wing) two different toSegmentXsi positions can be defined, one at the inner border (innerBorderToSegmentXsi) and one at the outer border (innerBorderToSegmentXsi) of the parent strip. The innerBorderToSegmentXsi and outerBorderToSegmentXsi of the last chordwisePart must be equal to 1.

Remarks

Describes the contributions of a specific strip within a wing segment to the total aerodynamic coefficients of a wing segment

The strip extends spatially between two eta coordinates (i.e., from an inner border to an outer border). In order to avoid redundancy, the inner border (denoted as from) is always identical to the outer border of the previous strip (denoted by to). Accordingly, only the to-border can be specified explicitly, while the from-border equals implicitly either to 0 (for the first strip) or the toSegmentEta value of the previous element. The toSegmentEta of the last strip must be equal to 1!

It is obligatory to provide the coefficients of the strip. The breakdown comprises the chordwiseParts and remainingContributions. The latter must only be specified if the breakdown into chordwiseParts is given. This breakdown is optional. If it is specified, but the sum of all chordwiseParts does not match the strip coefficients, one or more remainingContributions may be applied to ensure consistency (sum of all chordwiseParts + sum of all remainingContributions must be equal to total strip coefficients).

Remarks

Breakdown of the total aerodynamic coefficients into contributions from the various vehicle componenents. A detailed breakdown is only specified for the wing. Other components, such as the fuselage, are more generically referred to as otherComponents. Since the sum of the contributions within a breakdown must equal the total coefficients, the remaining contributions must be listed in remainingContributions.

The remainingContributions cannot be defined alone. Either the definition of a wing, otherComponents or both together is valid and can be combined with remainingContributions.

Remarks

Within componentSegments the wing structure, the control surfaces, the wing fuel tanks and the wingFuselageAttachment is defined by using relative coordinates.

A componentSegment is defined in the same way as segments: from one cross section (sections->elements) to another. Compared to segments one componentSegment can can start and end at elements that are not consecutive. Therefore that one componentSegment can be the combination of several segments. Each wing has at least one componentSegment (from root to tip). The maximal number of componentSegments equals the number of segments (each segment is defined as one componentSegment). This also implies that each segment can only be part of one componentSegment.

In principal a componentSegment can combine any number of segments. But if in one section two elements are defined, the componentSegment has to start/end there as no well-defined relative coordinates can be defined if steps in the wing occur.

An example for wing componentSegments can be found in the picture below:

Within componentSegments a relative spanwise coordinate (eta) and a relative chordwise coordinate (xsi) is defined. Those coordinates are used for the definition of e.g. wing structures and control surfaces. there are two types of eta xsi coordinates. Segment (eta, xsi) coordinates define the relative local coordinate system for a segment ranging from (0,0) to (1,1).

The eta xsi coordinates for a component segment are based on the segment eta xsi planes. As a reference length for the component segment eta coordinate the mid chord lines of all the segments are used. The beginning of this line at from-element equals eta = 0, while the end of this line at the to-element equals eta = 1. All wing positions that lie on the same element (segment border) have the same eta coordinate. The points in between two elements are defined by the iso xsi lines of the segment eta xsi space. An example for the definition of the relative axes can be found in the picture below:

In order to calculate the global coordinates of a component segment eta xsi point one first has to calculate the eta point on the xsi iso line of (xsi=0.5), and then walk along the iso eta lineof the segment.

An example for determining the a component eta xsi point can be found in the picture below:

Remarks

A component represents a physically existing instance of a predefined system element within a generic system. It references the corresponding element definition via systemElementUID, from which its geometry, geometry representation, and mass-related properties are derived.

A component may be explicitly positioned by a transformation and, optionally, by a parent reference. If no transformation is defined, the component is considered unpositioned. In that case, local geometry and local mass properties may still be available, but the global center of gravity cannot be evaluated.

The referenced system element may define either a physical or an envelope representation. Mass properties are taken from the referenced element definition if available; otherwise they may be derived from density and geometry.

Remarks

The local component coordinate system of the cone is centered on the center of its lower circular face. The cone axis coincides with the local z-axis. The lower circular face lies in the plane z = 0 and the upper circular face lies in the plane z = height.

The upper radius is optional. If not specified, it defaults to 0, resulting in a pointed cone. If lowerRadius and upperRadius are equal, the geometry is cylindrical.

Remarks

Specification of performance constraints.

Constraints allow vectors of double values to define parameter lapses within a mission segment. The example below illustrates this by means of an exemplary climb profile of a conventional airliner, in which multiple physical and regulatory speed constraints are simultaneously specified over several altitudes (e.g., to account for the crossover altitude):

Example climb constraints using parameter lapses
Copy
<endCondition>
    <positionGeo>
        <altitude relationalOperator="ge" uID="altClimb">10058.4</altitude> <!-- FL330 -->
    </positionGeo>
</endCondition>
<constraint>
    <referenceEndConditionUID>altClimb</referenceEndConditionUID>
    <endConditionRatio>0.0;0.303</endConditionRatio> <!-- FL0, FL100 -->
    <continuitySetting>discrete</continuitySetting>
    <CAS relationalOperator="le">128.61;154.33</CAS> <!-- 250 [kt], 300 [kt]-->
    <machNumber relationalOperator="le">0.78;0.78</machNumber>
    <prioritySetting>velocity</prioritySetting>
</constraint>

From FL0 until FL100, the vehicle should fly at a velocity less than or equal to CAS = 250 kt or M = 0.78. In this first segment at low altitudes, the constraint on CAS is triggered.

From FL100 until FL330, the vehicle should fly at a velocity less than or equal to CAS = 300 kt or M = 0.78. In this second segment, the vehicle starts by increasing velocity until 300 kt, the constraint on maximum machNumber triggers from the crossover altitude onwards

Remarks

Optional definition of the exact airfoil shape at the inner/outer border of the control surface.

The airfoil shape is defined via referencing to the airfoilUID. As the leading and trailing edge point is fix due to the outer shape definition of the control surface the airfoil can only be rotated around the x-axis (axis going from leading to trailing edge of the inner/outer border of the control surface). Scaling in x-direction is also defined by the outer shape, wherefore only scaling in y and z direction is allowed.

Remarks

single controlDistributor bundling several controlElements

Within some analyses, it might occur that overlapping control element settings are specified. In this case, it is assumed that a cumulative setting is built by summing up the individual settings. As the behavior of these settings is not necessarily linear, a certain order of summation has to be followed:

  1. The command inputs for each controlDistributor, coming from the configurationUID, as well as from separate settings have to be summed up to a total commandInput.
  2. With this total commandInput, each corresponding controlDistributor definition has to be evaluated, in order to get controlParameter settings for a number of controlDevices.
  3. All controlParameter settings for a controlDevice, coming from the configurationUID , from the controlDistributors and from separate controlDevice settings have to be summed up to get a total controlParameter for each controlDevice.
  4. With this total controlParameter, each corresponding controlDevice definition has to be evaluated, in order to find out what the control device finally is doing.
  5. During the summation process (depending on the order of processing within step 1 to 4), commandInputs or controlParameters might exceed the specified limits for that controlDistributor or controlDevices. As an intermediate result, this should be accepted – however, when it comes to evaluation in step 2 and 4, all commandInputs and controlParameters have to be within the specified limits.

Remarks

Optional definition of the exact airfoil shape between the inner and outer border of the control surface.

The airfoil shape is defined via referencing to the airfoilUID. As the leading and trailing edge point is fix due to the outer shape definition of the control surface the airfoil can be rotated around the x-axis (axis going from leading to trailing edge of the control surface) and around the z-axis (normal axis on the control surface middle plane). Scaling in x-direction is also defined by the outer shape, wherefore only scaling in y and z direction is allowed.

Remarks

Definition of the inner/outer border of the control surface.

The position on the planform of the control surface is defined by defining the eta/xsi coordinates of the inner/outer and forward/rear border. The eta/xsi coordinates refer to the parent.

In addition, optionally, the airfoil shape of the control surface can be defined closer. For the leading edge devices 'hollow'. If an exact control surface airfoil definition should be used, outerShape->airfoils can be used.

Please find below an example for the definition of the planform of a trailing edge device. Other controlsurfaces are similar.

Definition of the inner/outer border of the control surface.

The position on the planform of the control surface is defined by defining the eta/xsi coordinates of the inner/outer and forward/rear border. The eta/xsi coordinates refer to the parent.

In addition, optionally, the airfoil shape of the control surface can be defined closer. For the spoiler'relHeightLE' is used. If an exact control surface airfoil definition should be used, outerShape->airfoils can be used.

Please find below an example for the definition of the planform of a trailing edge device. Other controlsurfaces are similar.

Remarks

The deflection path of a control surface is described with respect to two hinge points - one at the inner border of the control surface and one at the outer border of the control surface. These two points are defined by the xsi and relative height coordinates of the parent. In addition, a translation (with respect to the wing coordinate system) can be applied. Therefore they can also be defined outside of the control surface. These two points define the hinge line, which is a straight line between them.

An example is shown below:

Remarks

The deflection path of a control surface is described with respect to two hinge points - one at the inner border of the control surface and one at the outer border of the control surface. Those two points are defined using the xsi and relative height coordinates of the parent. Therefore those points can also lay outbound of the control surface. Those two points defined the hinge line, which is a straight line between the two points.

The deflection path of the control surface is defined within the hinge line coordinate system. This is defined as follows: The x-hinge coordinate equals the wing x-axis. The y-hinge coordinate equals the hinge line axis (see above; positive from inner to outer hinge point). The z-hinge line is perpendicular on the x-hinge and y-hinge coordinate according to the right hand rule. The rotation of the control surface is defined as rotation around the positive y-hinge line.

The deflection of the control surface is defined by at least two steps. It is specified as follows: First the x-deflection at the inner and outer border; afterwards the z-deflection of the inner and outer border; last the y-deflection of the inner border. The y-deflection is only defined at the inner border, as it is identical to the outer border. If no values for the outer border deflection are given, they default to the values of the inner border.

Remarks

The deflection path of the control surface is defined within the hinge line coordinate system. This is defined as follows: The x-hinge coordinate equals the wing x-axis. The y-hinge coordinate equals the hinge line axis (see above; positive from inner to outer hinge point). The z-hinge line is perpendicular on the x-hinge and y-hinge coordinate according to the right hand rule. The rotation of the control surface is defined as rotation around the positive y-hinge line.

The deflection of the control surface is defined by at least two steps. It is specified as follows: First the x-deflection at the inner and outer border; afterwards the z-deflection of the inner and outer border; last the y-deflection of the inner border. The y-deflection is only defined at the inner border, as it is identical to the outer border. If no values for the outer border deflection are given, they default to the values of the inner border.

Remarks

A track generally describes the structural connection between a control surface and a wing (or parent element). For example, a track can be a flap track, a revolute joint connecting an aileron or spoiler, or the kinematics of slats on a wing.

The spanwise position of the track is defined by etaPosition, which refers to the control surface dimensions.

The structural properties of the track (e.g. materials) are defined in trackStructure.

If an actuator is included into the the track, a reference is given in actuator.

The principal kinematic of the track is defined by setting the trackType and trackSubType. Please refer to the tables below for setting the trackType and trackSubType parameter. Note, those tables are not final - they are extended continuously.

1. Overview

The Common Parametric Aircraft Configuration Scheme (CPACS) is an XML-based data format for describing aircraft configurations and their corresponding data.

This XML-Schema document (XSD) serves two purposes: (1) it defines the CPACS data structure used in the XML file (e.g., aircraft.xml) and (2) it provides the corresponding documentation (see picture below). An XML processor (e.g., TiXI or XML tools in Eclipse) parses the XSD and XML files and validates whether the data set defined by the user (or tool) conforms to the given structure defined by the schema.

basic principle of CPACS

This documentation explains the elements defined in CPACS and its corresponding data types. Data types can either be simple types (string, double, boolean, etc.) or complex types (definition of attributes and sub-elements to build a hierarchical structure). In addition, the sequence of the elements and their occurrence is documented.

To link the XML file to the XSD file, the header of the XML file should specify the path of the schema file. An example could look like this:

CPACS header
Copy
<cpacs xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="pathToSchemaFile/cpacs_schema.xsd">

CPACS is an open source project published by the German Aerospace Center (DLR e.V.). For further information please visit www.cpacs.de.

2. Data structure

CPACS data is modeled in a hierarchical structure whose underlying concept follows a top-down description of a system-of-systems which decomposes a generic concept (e.g., an aircraft or rotorcraft) into a more detailed description of its components. This originates from the conceptual and preliminary design of aircraft, where the level of detail is initially low and continues to increase as the design process progresses.

For some concepts within CPACS, however, a bottom-up approach is applied where the components are first defined in detail (sometimes referred to as library) and then linked within an instantiated higher-level concept. This is advantageous when used multiple times within complex systems, such as engines, which only have to be defined once in order to be referenced several times on the aircraft. The combination of these two methodologies is known as middle-out approach and enables the goal to fully parametrize aeronautical systems.

CPACS data hierarchy

3. Coordinate Systems

3.1. CPACS coordinate system

Coordinate systems are a regular cause for ambiguous interpretation of data. In CPACS, the reference coordinate system is the CPACS-coordinate system. This coordinate system is used for most of the data. A single exception is made in order to keep aerodynamic data in an aerodynamic coordinate system. The following paragraphs outline the determination to known coordinate systems.

The CPACS coordinate system is the coordinate system identified by TiGL, CPACS's geometry library. It is a right-handed coordinate system. If an aircraft is defined in the CPACS coordinate system it will usually follow the directions listed in the table below.

Therefore, the CPACS coordinate system can be confused with the body-fixed coordinate system. While often the CPACS coordinate system and the body-fixed coordinate system overlap, this must not always be true. Several definitions for body-fixed coordinate systems exist (x-axis through nose and tail, x-axis perpendicular to nose plane). For non-symmetric aircraft, body-fixed coordinate systems become even more complicated. Hence, analysis tools should stick to the CPACS coordinate system. It remains to the designer to model the geometry accordingly.

The CPACS coordinate system does not rotate with flow. Hence, aerodynamic calculations do rotate their flow relative to the CPACS coordinate system. If not stated explicitly different, e.g. for target lift-coefficients, results are returned in the CPACS coordinate system, i.e. the cfx-coefficient is parallel to the CPACS x-coordinate, regardless of the way the geometry is defined.

The following table gives a "best-practice" advice on how to locate a geometry within CPACS. Different approaches are, of course, valid as well.

Axis | Direction | Description
x | tailwards | from nose to tail
y | spanwise | from symmetry plane to the right wingtip
z | upwards | from landing gear to tip of vertical tailplane

The following figures show an example of a geometry that is aligned with the CPACS coordinate system, i.e. the body-fixed coordinate system corresponds to the CPACS coordinate system.

Coordinate systems 1

The aerodynamic analysis is relative to the CPACS coordinate system. That is, the angle of attack is represented by the dashed orange line. Results of the aerodynamic calculation are given in the CPACS coordinate system.

Coordinate systems 2

The following figures give an example of a geometry that is not defined in alignment with the CPACS coordinate system. It is a valid CPACS file, but only used in this example for demonstrative purposes.

Coordinate systems 1 with angleOfAttack

The body axes and the CPACS coordinate system do not align. That is, the origin of the geometry is not at CPACS (0,0,0) but at a point in positive x- and z-direction.

Coordinate systems 2 with angleOfAttack

Again, the aerodynamic analysis is relative to the CPACS coordinate system. That is, the angle of attack is represented by the dashed orange line. Results of the aerodynamic calculation are given in the CPACS coordinate system.

3.2. Local coordinate systems via parentUID and transformation

Some elements in CPACS, in particular the geometric components, are described in local coordinates. The hierarchical data structure allows to define a local coordinate system either with respect to the coordinate system of the parent element or with respect to the global CPACS coordinate system. This is achieved by combining the two elements <parentUID> and <transformation>:

  • parentUID: An individual data hierarchy can be set up using the optional <parentUID> element. Here it is important that exactly one element does not contain the <parentUID> in order to identify the top element of this user-specific hierarchy. As soon as the parentUID (which refers to the uID of the parent element) is set, a local coordinate system of the corresponding node is instantiated.

  • transformation: This allows the coordinate system to be transformed via <translation>, <rotation> and <scaling>. As soon as the <parentUID> is set, this transformation refers to the local coordinate system (in the current CPACS version this only affects <translation>). An attribute refType is used to either make this explicit (refType="absLocal") or to override this and reference the global CPACS coordinate system instead (refType="absGlobal").

The following table summarizes the possible combinations of <parentUID> and <transformation> and the resulting coordinate system (local or global):

 | <parentUID> not set | <parentUID> set
<transformation> without refType | global | local
<transformation> with refType="absLocal" | global | local
<transformation> with refType="absGlobal" | global | global

Note: The combination of <transformation> with refType="absLocal" and no <parentUID> is global, because the local coordinate system to which the transformation is referring to via refType equals the global coordinate system (see fuselage in the following example).

An exemplary use case further illustrates the concept of the coordinate system hierarchy. The CPACS schema shall not specify in advance that a wing is always be part of the fuselage and engines must always be part of the wing. In other cases the engine could be attached to the fuselage, which would not be possible via a predefined XML tree. The following figure shows how components of the aircraft are related to each other via the <parentUID>. The fairing is a child of the wing and is therefore automatically translated when the wing is translated. Likewise, the horizontal tailplane is a part of the vertical tailplane and is therefore affected by translation of the latter:

parentUID and transformations

4. Units

There are no explicit attributes describing units in CPACS. The general convention is that all values must be given in the following SI-units:

[m] | Position, Distance
[m2] | Area
[m3] | Volume
[kg] | Mass
[s] | Time
[K] | Temperature

or in derived units, e.g.:

[N] | Force
[Nm] | Moment
[W] | Power
[J] | Energy

The only non SI unit used throughout CPACS is the angle in degrees [°]. For the sake of an intuitive use the angles are given in degrees rather than in radian [rad].

[°] Angle

5. Splitting up a CPACS dataset into several files

To provide a better overview, it is possible to split up a CPACS dataset into several files. This can be done by inserting an <externaldata> node at an arbitrary position into the dataset. This node contains a <path> node with a URI to the external file(s), followed by one or more <filename> nodes, containing each a name of a file to be included at that position. Below, an example of such external data is given:

Example of linking external data
Copy
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<cpacs xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="pathToSchemaFile/cpacs_schema.xsd">
    <vehicles>
        <profiles>
            <wingAirfoils>
                <externaldata>
                    <path>file:://airfoils</path>
                    <filename>NACA0010.xml</filename>
                    <filename>NACA2412.xml</filename>
                </externaldata>
                <airfoil uID="NACA0012">
                    <name>NACA 0012 Airfoil</name>
                    <pointList>...</pointList>
                </airfoil>
            </wingAirfoils>
        </profiles>
    </vehicles>
<cpacs>

Such an external file would look like:

External data for linking in CPACS
Copy
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<airfoil uID="NACA0010">
    <name>NACA 0010 Airfoil</name>
    <pointList>...</pointList>
</airfoil>

The file would be included completely, except for its title line <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>. This concept can also be used recursively (external files of external files), but it is important to prevent circle connections (file "A" loading file "B" loading file "C" loading again file "A" ...).

For path URI addresses, the trailing file separator "/" may be omitted. Below, some examples for path URIs are given:

  • Absolute local path: file:///tmp or file:///c:/windows/tmp
  • Relative local directory: file://relativeDirectory or file://../anotherRelativeDirectory
  • Remote net resource: http://www.someurl.de

With the help of the TiXI XML Interface TiXI, a CPACS dataset that is split into multiple files can be reassembled into a single tree structure for subsequent validation against the CPACS schema. The following commands are used to link external data sets:

  • externalFileName: Name of the external data file
  • externalDataDirectory: Directory of the external data file. Its content is analogous to the <externaldata/path> element described above.
  • externalDataNodePath: XPath of the node which is replaced with the content of the external file. In case that it is an external file of an external file, then it is the XPath in the outer external file. If, e.g., in the example above the <pointList> element would have also been loaded from an external file, then the entry would just be:externalDataNodePath="/airfoil". This is used primarily for loop-detection.

The merged data tree for the example above would look like:

External data merged into the main dataset using TiXI
Copy
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<cpacs xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="pathToSchemaFile/cpacs_schema.xsd">
    <vehicles>
        <profiles>
            <wingAirfoils>
                <airfoil uID="NACA0010" externalFileName="NACA0010.xml" externalDataDirectory="file://airfoils" externalDataNodePath="/cpacs/vehicles/profiles/wingAirfoils">
                    <name>NACA 0010 Airfoil</name>
                    <pointList>...</pointList>
                </airfoil>
                ...
                <airfoil uID="NACA0012">
                    <name>NACA 0012 Airfoil</name>
                    <pointList>...</pointList>
                </airfoil>
            </wingAirfoils>
        </profiles>
    </vehicles>
<cpacs>

6. UIDs and references

The CPACS-dataset often uses references between nodes. Typically, these references define connections between elements which are located somewhere else in the hierarchical dataset (e.g. a <wing> is connected to a <fuselage>; a specific <engine> is connected to a <pylon>; etc.). These connections are defined by unique identifiers (uID) which are specified as attributes. Thus, there are elements which can be referenced via a uID attribute, e.g. a fuselage:

CPACS element with uID attribute
Copy
<fuselage uID="ATTAS_fuselage">...

as well as elements which refer to the former, e.g. a wing pointing to its geometrical parent:

Referencing a uID via the parentUID element
Copy
<wing uID="e382bf5j">
    <name>ATTAS main wing</name>
    <parentUID isLink="True">ATTAS_fuselage</parentUID>
    ...

In previous CPACS versions, referencing elements were identified via the isLink="True" attribute. Since this is superfluous due to the explicit definition of the element properties via the CPACS schema, this attribute no longer needs to be listed. It is nevertheless a valid optional attribute to ensure compatibility with older datasets, but might be removed in future versions.

Since uIDs are only used to link nodes within the XML file, no naming convention is required. The characters only have to conform to the conventions of the xsd:ID type standardized by the W3C. UIDs, however, must be unique! Although a common practice for naming uIDs is their position in the data hierarchy (e.g. uID="mainWingSection3"), uIDs as shown in the above example are absolutely valid as well. It is therefore recommended to use the name element to convey human-readable meanings.

7. Usage of name, description and uID

CPACS is designed to serve as a central data exchange format in fully automated process chains. A key requirement is therefore that tools can automatically read and process an incoming CPACS file. A second requirement is that users can interpret the data set. To address both requirements, the following usage of the <name> and <description> elements in combination with the uID attribute is proposed:

  • name: A specification of the <name> element is usually mandatory for sequences of elements (e.g., if max occurrence is unbounded [1..*]). Typical examples are wings/wing, aeroPerformance/aeroMap or missions/mission. Such elements must be able to be listed by tools, especially for visualization and reporting purposes, where the <name> element serves as a concise and human-readable indicator of the actual meaning of the corresponding element in the list (e.g., which wing, which aeroMap, which mission). This is usually a single word or a small number of words.

  • description: The <description> element is usually optional and is used to add comprehensive and human-readable explanations. This is usually at least one explanatory sentence.

  • uID: As described in more detail in Section 6, the uID attribute is mainly used for internal referencing of CPACS elements. Further processing software, e.g. TiXI and TiGL, also use the uIDs to improve the robustness of the data query. Consequently, the uID attribute serves as a machine-readable indicator and does not claim to be interpretable by human users. In some practical use cases, the same string is chosen for uID and <name>. However, restrictions on the choice of characters for the uID attribute must be considered, for example that no spaces may be used and the uID must be unique.

Example usage of name, description and uID
Copy
<wing uID="main_wing">
    <name>Main wing</name>
    <description>This is the main wing which was designed by my awesome wing sizing design tool. Your tool should not try to read and interpret what I'm writing here as typos are not recognized by XML processors.</description>
</wing>

8. Symmetry

8.1. Specification of symmetric elements

Sometimes it might be useful to specify a part of the aircraft as symmetric instead of holding all the data twice in nearly identical form in the dataset (e.g. left and right wing are usually identical, except for the sign of the y-coordinate). Hence, some parts offer the option to set a symmetry attribute:

Symmetry attribute applied to a wing
Copy
<wing symmetry="x-z-plane">

There are six possible attribute values:

  • x-y-plane: Symmetry w.r.t. the x-y plane of the CPACS coordinate system
  • x-z-plane: Symmetry w.r.t. the x-z plane of the CPACS coordinate system
  • y-z-plane: Symmetry w.r.t. the y-z plane of the CPACS coordinate system
  • inherit: Symmetry inherited from parent element (default behavior, i.e. also applies if attribute not set)
  • none: Symmetry inheritance from parent element disabled
Note: It must be taken from the documentation of the respective element which of these attribute values may be set.

One example of how to apply the symmetry attribute is shown in Sec. 3.2. Another simplified example shown below illustrates the combination of different symmetry properties of 4 wings:

Symmetry of wings
  • Wing 1 is mirrored on the x-z plane.
  • Wing 2 has wing 1 as parent element, but suppresses its symmetry inheritance.
  • Wing 3 has wing 2 as parent element and sets a new symmetry at the x-y plane.
  • Wing 4 has wing 3 as parent element and no symmetry attribute specified. Thus, it inherits the symmetry at the x-y plane from wing 3.

Note: The corresponding transformations are not shown here.

8.2. Referencing symmetric elements

All nodes (e.g., <parentUID>) in CPACS that refer to a component holding the symmetry attribute (e.g., <wing>) might also have a symmetry attribute to specify how symmetry is propagated through the resulting element hierarchy.

The symmetry attribute of a referencing element may take three values: symm, def, full:

  • def: The element refers to the geometric component that has a symmetry attribute and refers only to the defined side of the geometric component.
  • symm: The element refers to the geometric component that has a symmetry attribute and refers only to the symmetric side of the geometric component. (Similar to the previous _symm solution)
  • full: The element refers to the geometric component that has a symmetry attribute and refers to the complete component. (This is the default behaviour)

Meaning of the symmetry attribute values

For example, to refer to the "other" side of a mirrored wing the following the following syntax might be used:

Example of an engine pylon located only on the mirrored side of the wing.
Copy
<enginePylons>
    <enginePylon uID="pylon">
        <parentUID symmetry="symm">wing</parentUID>

Note: This feature is not implemented in TiGL. The upper figure is manually processed to illustrate the principle. In addition, there is an ongoing debate whether the approach is suitable for CPACS due to rapidly increasing complexity and unresolved implicit assumptions as to whether it is one or two components after mirroring. Therefore, it is advised to avoid using the symmetry attribute if possible.

9. Vectors and arrays

For large data sets (e.g. increments of aerodynamic coefficients due to control surface deflections) it is advantageous to map them via vectors and arrays instead of using a sequence of nodes for each data value. Therefore vectors and arrays are defined as semicolon-separated lists in CPACS. Via the documentation (derived from the XSD) of the corresponding nodes it has to be checked whether it is a vector or an array.

  • Vector

    The vector is meant as a one-dimensional-array. In such a node, the values are given in a semicolon separated list:

    CPACS vector element
    Copy
    <angleOfAttack>0.;1.5;3.;4.5;6;7.5;9.</angleOfAttack>
  • Array

    As for vectors, multi-dimensional arrays provide values in a semicolon separated list. An array is always preceded by a sequence of vectors, containing the dimensions and index values. Which vectors of an array are dimensioning is specified in the respective documentation of the array.

    Usage of a CPACS array element
    Copy
    <altitude>1000.;2000.;3000.</altitude> <!-- vector element -->
    <incrementMaps>
        <incrementMap uID="incMap_b3ac2">
            <controlSurfaceUID>InnerWingFlap</controlSurfaceUID>
            <controlParameters>-1;-0.5;0;1</controlParameters> <!-- vector element -->
                <!-- array of dimension length(altitude) x length(controlParameters): -->
                <dcl>11.;12.;13.;14.;21.;22.;23.;24.;31.;32.;33.;34.</dcl>
    Values for cl increments:
    Control parameter = -1 | Control parameter = -0.5 | Control parameter = 0 | Control parameter = 1
    Altitude = 1000m | 11. | 12. | 13. | 14.
    Altitude = 2000m | 21. | 22. | 23. | 24.
    Altitude = 3000m | 31. | 32. | 33. | 34.

10. Control Parameters

Control parameters are abstract parameters, linking a generic value (i.e., the control parameter) to a configurational state of a control device (e.g., control surface, landing gear, engine settings, ...). The basic idea is that this control parameter can be used in different CPACS nodes (e.g., aeroMaps), while the relationship between the abstract control parameter and the configurative state of a controllable component is defined in the latter. Controllable compents can have multiple control functions (referred to as control devices), e.g., extraction and rotation state as well as the braking state of a landing gear.

Control parameters are predominantly used for control surfaces, which is why they are discussed in more detail below as an example. However, the approach also applies to other components, such as landing gears. In future the engines and other components will also be controlable via control parameters.

For control surfaces, the translation from the abstract control parameter to its physical state (i.e., deflection = rotation + translation) is defined in a so-called <path>, which is componsed of a list of <step> elements.

The control parameter values for each step are arbitrary floating point values. However, it is strongly recommended to use values between -1 and +1, or between 0 and +1 (depending on the type of control surface). The smallest and the largest value implicitly define the maximum deflection limits. It is mandatory, that the value “0” is within the specified range, as this value is treated as undeflected and used to specify a “clean” aircraft configuration (e.g. used in the clean aero performance map). Furthermore, it it is mandatory for the <step> elements to be sorted in ascending order of the control parameters. It is recommended, but not mandatory to specify a <step> with a <controlParameter> of 0. Consequently, no <controlParameter> must be used twice within a single <path> definition. Deflection values between two specified steps are handled by linear interpolation.

The following example shows the usage of control parameters within a control surface deflection path definition:

Control parameter example
Copy
<controlSurfaces>
  <trailingEdgeDevices>
    <trailingEdgeDevice uID="InnerWingFlap">
      ...
      <path>
        ...
        <steps>
          <step>
            <controlParameter>-1</controlParameter>
            <hingeLineRotation>-20.</hingeLineRotation>
          </step>
          <step>
            <controlParameter>-0.5</controlParameter>
            <hingeLineRotation>-10.</hingeLineRotation>
          </step>
          <step>
            <controlParameter>0</controlParameter>
            <hingeLineRotation>0.</hingeLineRotation>
          </step>
          <step>
            <controlParameter>1</controlParameter>
            <hingeLineRotation>5.</hingeLineRotation>
          </step>
        </steps>
        ...

There is a possibility that more than one deflection command is applied to a control surface at the same time (e.g. coming from a <configurationDefinition> and from an explicit deflection). Furthermore, a control surface could be deflected by one (or even multiple) control distributor and control device command(s) in parallel. In all these cases, the deflection commands have to be superposed in the following way:

  1. The commands for each control distributor have to be added up to get a summed-up control distributor command input.
  2. The command inputs for each control distributor have to be evaluated to come to a set of control device control parameters.
  3. The control device control parameters for each control device (coming from control distributor and from control device commands) have to be added up.
  4. The final control device control parameters for each control device have to be evaluated considering the corresponding <path> specification to come to the desired movements/deflections.
  5. If command inputs or control parameters in step 2.) or 4.) are found to exceed the or boundaries of the defined range, an error should be returned from the evaluation.

11. Atmosphere

At some places in CPACS, an atmosphere has to be selected (e.g. for connecting an altitude with a certain pressure or density). Currently, CPACS does only support a single atmospheric model: The ICAO Standard Atmosphere (ISA) from 1993 (see ICAO Doc 7488/3 'MANUAL OF THE ICAO STANDARD ATMOSPHERE', third edition, 1993). It covers temperature, pressure, density, speed of sound, dynamic viscosity and kinematic viscosity with respect to altitude. In CPACS, <altitude> means what is called 'geopotential altitude' (H) in the ISA reference document and is given in [m]. For details, see ISA manual, section 2.3, page E-viii f. ISA covers a range from -5000 m to 80000 m.

Temperature offsets are introduced on top of the definitions in the ISA manual (which does not cover such variations). The offset model is based upon the idea that the pressure at a fixed geopotential altitude is independent from temperature offset (pressure altitude). The temperature offset changes only the density (following rho = p / Gas Constant / T) (and viscosity, of course)

Remarks

The local component coordinate system of the cuboid has its origin at one corner of the lower face. The lower face spans from x = 0 to x = lengthX and from y = 0 to y = depthY at z = 0. The upper face lies at z = heightZ. If no upperFace* values are defined, the upper face equals the lower face and the geometry is a regular cuboid. The optional upperFaceXmin, upperFaceXmax, upperFaceYmin and upperFaceYmax values define the extent of the upper face, allowing tapered or skewed cuboids.

Remarks

The curve interpolates the list of points, typically with a b-spline. In theory, the interpolation is somewhat ambiguous as it is not defined at which curve parameter a point will be interpolated.

To solve is ambiguity, an optional parameter map can be defined that maps point indices with curve parameters.

Kinks can also be modeled by populating the "kinks" array with the indices of points that should be on a kink. As an example, look at the following image:

curve point list xyz

In this example, the kinks array will be "3;7". Optionally, the parameters of the kinks can be set in the parameter map. The whole profile looks as follows:

Copy
<pointList>
    <x>...</x>
    <y>...</y>
    <z>...</z>
    <kinks>3;7</kinks>
    <parameterMap>

Optional, the exact shape between the upper and lower skin cut out can be given by using cutOutProfiles. In general cut out profiles are open profiles and not closed profiles as e.g. wing airfoils. The placement, scaling and (partly) rotation of the cut out profiles is fixed as the beginning and ending point of the profile is fixed as can be seen in the two pictures below.

Element rotation | [0, 1] | Rotation data default: 0,0,0. The rotation angles are the three Euler angles to describe the orientation of the coordinate system. The order is always xyz in CPACS. Therefore the first rotation is around the x-axis, the second rotation is around the rotated y-axis (y') and the third rotation is around the two times rotated z-axis (z'').
Element translation | [0, 1] | Translation data default: 0,0,0. Translations can either be made absolute in the global coordinate system (absGlobal) or absolute in the local Coordinate system (absLocal).

Remarks
This type contains aerodynamic performance maps with the damping derivatives. The derivatives are calculated using rotational rates [rad/s], normalized by: Rate*ReferenceLength/flow speed. The rotations are performed around the global axis directions with the aircraft model's global reference point as origin. The damping derivative performance maps are vectors of the same length as the input vectors of the baseline aerodynamic performance maps, consisting of semicolon separated values.

Element rotation | [0, 1] | Rotation data default: 0,0,0. The rotation angles are the three Euler angles to describe the orientation of the coordinate system. The order is always xyz in CPACS. Therefore the first rotation is around the x-axis, the second rotation is around the rotated y-axis (y') and the third rotation is around the two times rotated z-axis (z'').
Element scaling | [0, 1] | Scaling data default: 1,1,1. Those parameters describe the scaling of the x-, y-, and z-axis.

Remarks
doors describe all doors of the cabin. They are linked to a structural door description. The cabin door is usually equal in size to the door, but does not need to be. The structural door might describe a wider cut-out, while the cabin door is primarily intended for evacuation modeling and cabin layout. In order to obtain a 3-dimensional door representation, the local cabin geometry shall be used.

Remarks
doors describe all doors of the cabin. They are linked to a structural door description. The cabin door is usually equal in size to the door, but does not need to be. The structural door might describe a wider cut-out, while the cabin door is primarily intended for evacuation modeling and cabin layout. In order to obtain a 3-dimensional door representation, the local cabin geometry shall be used.

Remarks

In CPACS arrays are used to exchange values in full-factorial parameter spaces, for example to describe the aerodynamic coefficients depending on Mach number and altitude.

Thus, the dimensions of the array are spanned by the input vectors. See the following example where two input vectors are defined. For clarification the entries of the array result from the multiplication of the index values of the corresponding input vectors:

Input vectors
Copy
<inputVector1>1;2;3</inputVector1>
<inputVector2>4;5;6;7</inputVector2>
Resulting 3x4 array
Copy
<array>4;5;6;7;8;10;12;14;12;15;18;21</array>

Any entries of type double separated by semicolons are valid, e.g.:

Example 1: valid double array
Copy
<doubleArrayTest>123.456;+123.456;-1.234e56;-.45E-6;NaN;0</doubleArrayTest>
Example 2: valid double array with only one entry
Copy
<doubleArrayTest>123.456</doubleArrayTest>
Example 3: invalid double array due to comma separation
Copy
<doubleArrayTest>123.456,+1234.456</doubleArrayTest>
Example 4: invalid double array due to string entry
Copy
<doubleArrayTest>123.456;mainWingUID</doubleArrayTest>
Example 5: invalid double array due invalid double values
Copy
<doubleArrayTest>1234.4E 56;-1.234e5.6</doubleArrayTest>

Please note that the syntax of arrays in the current CPACS version correspond exactly to the syntax of vectors. There is no special character indicating the dimensions. Thus, the input vectors have to be determined from the documentation of the corresponding elements and splitting of the one-dimensional vector has to be done manually.

Remarks

The local component coordinate system of the ellipsoid is centered at its geometric center. The principal axes of the ellipsoid coincide with the local x-, y- and z-axes. The semi-axis lengths are defined by radiusX, radiusY and radiusZ.

The radii in y- and z-direction are optional. If not specified, they default to radiusX. The optional revolutionAngle defines the angle of revolution about the local z-axis. If not specified, it defaults to 2*pi, resulting in a full ellipsoid. Note that the angle refers to the parameterization of the underlying sphere: for radiusX != radiusY the section planes are located at the azimuth atan2(radiusY*sin(revolutionAngle), radiusX*cos(revolutionAngle)), which differs from revolutionAngle itself.

Therefore the first rotation is around the x-axis, the second rotation is around the rotated y-axis (y') and the third rotation is around the two times rotated z-axis (z'').
Element translation | [0, 1] | Translation data default: 0,0,0. Translations can either be made absolute in the global coordinate system (absGlobal) or absolute in the local Coordinate system (absLocal).

Thus, two cases can occur: (1) it is set: local coordinate system of the parent; (2) it is not set: global CPACS coordinate system.
Element componentUID | [0, 1] | UID of the geometric description of the component
Element mass |  | Mass [kg]
Element location | [0, 1] | Mass location. If the optional refType attribute is set, it explicitly specifies whether the location of the mass refers to the global CPACS coordinate system (absGobal) or the local coordinate system of the parent element (absLocal, given by the CPACS hierarchy OR by parentUID). If it is not set, the global CPACS coordinate system is considered as default. To ensure consistency, the same settings apply as well to orientation and massInertia.
Element orientation | [0, 1] | Orientation. The reference coordinate system (absGlobal or absLocal) is identical to location.
Element massInertia | [0, 1] | Mass inertia. The reference coordinate system (absGlobal or absLocal) is identical to location.

Remarks

The engine nacelle is part of an engine. It allows to define the outer geometry of the following engine components:

  • Fan cowl
  • Core cowl
  • Center cowl

All geometric values refer to the fan position.

The common use case for this definition includes bypass engines. In the case of non-bypass engines, the core cowl should be omitted.

Element rotation | [0, 1] | Rotation data default: 0,0,0. The rotation angles are the three Euler angles to describe the orientation of the coordinate system. The order is always xyz in CPACS. Therefore the first rotation is around the x-axis, the second rotation is around the rotated y-axis (y') and the third rotation is around the two times rotated z-axis (z'').
Element scaling | [0, 1] | Scaling data default: 1,1,1. Those parameters describe the scaling of the x-, y-, and z-axis.
Element translation | [0, 1] | Translation data default: 0,0,0. Translations can either be made absolute in the global coordinate system (absGlobal) or absolute in the local Coordinate system (absLocal).

Element rotation | [0, 1] | Rotation data default: 0,0,0. The rotation angles are the three Euler angles to describe the orientation of the coordinate system. The order is always xyz in CPACS. Therefore the first rotation is around the x-axis, the second rotation is around the rotated y-axis (y') and the third rotation is around the two times rotated z-axis (z'').
Element scaling | [0, 1] | Scaling data default: 1,1,1. Those parameters describe the scaling of the x-, y-, and z-axis.
Element translation | [0, 1] | Translation data default: 0,0,0. Translations can either be made absolute in the global coordinate system (absGlobal) or absolute in the local Coordinate system (absLocal).

Remarks

An external geometry references a geometry definition stored in an external CAD file. The file format must be specified in linkToFile. If the file path is given as a relative path, it is resolved relative to the CPACS document location.

The imported file may contain one or more shapes, which are combined into a single grouped geometry. The optional transformation is applied to the imported geometry after loading.

Element rotation | [0, 1] | Rotation data default: 0,0,0. The rotation angles are the three Euler angles to describe the orientation of the coordinate system. The order is always xyz in CPACS. Therefore the first rotation is around the x-axis, the second rotation is around the rotated y-axis (y') and the third rotation is around the two times rotated z-axis (z'').
Element scaling | [0, 1] | Scaling data default: 1,1,1. Those parameters describe the scaling of the x-, y-, and z-axis.
Element translation | [0, 1] | Translation data default: 0,0,0. Translations can either be made absolute in the global coordinate system (absGlobal) or absolute in the local Coordinate system (absLocal).

CPACS Documentation
category Element

Flight Phase Category; Category A Non-terminal flight phases requiring maneuvering, precision tracking, or precise flight-path control (e.g. air-to-air combat, terrain following). Category B Non-terminal Flight Phases with gradual maneuvers and without precision tracking, although accurate flight-path control may be required (e.g. climb, cruise). Category C Terminal Flight Phases are normally accomplished using gradual maneuvers and usually require accurate flight-path control (takeoff, approach and landing).

Therefore the first rotation is around the x-axis, the second rotation is around the rotated y-axis (y') and the third rotation is around the two times rotated z-axis (z'').
Element scaling | [0, 1] | Scaling data default: 1,1,1. Those parameters describe the scaling of the x-, y-, and z-axis.

Element point | [0, 1] | Moment reference point (in global coordinate system). The x-coordinate is typically chosen same as of the leading edge of the wing in the spanwise section having a chordlength identical to MAC. Coordinates given as %MAC shall always use this x-coordinate and length (e.g. 0%MAC = x, 100%MAC = x + length). The y coordinate is typically 0. The z coordinate is often chosen either as 0., or as z of fueselage nose or as z of middle of center fuselage part.

Remarks

In some cases additional geometric components need to be linked to a CPACS, but these components are not yet handled by CPACS explicitly. For example, a belly fairing and/or external tanks.

A generic geometric component may be applied to include such a geometry from an external file (preferably STEP) in the context of the overall aircraft.

Element rotation | [0, 1] | Rotation data default: 0,0,0. The rotation angles are the three Euler angles to describe the orientation of the coordinate system. The order is always xyz in CPACS. Therefore the first rotation is around the x-axis, the second rotation is around the rotated y-axis (y') and the third rotation is around the two times rotated z-axis (z'').
Element scaling | [0, 1] | Scaling data default: 1,1,1. Those parameters describe the scaling of the x-, y-, and z-axis.
Element translation | [0, 1] | Translation data default: 0,0,0. Translations can either be made absolute in the global coordinate system (absGlobal) or absolute in the local Coordinate system (absLocal).

Element description | [0, 1] | Description
Element parentUID | [0, 1] | UID of the component which serves as parent element, i.e. whose coordinate system is to be used as a reference for the mass properties (CoG location, orientation and massInertia). Thus, two cases can occur: (1) it is set: local coordinate system of the parent; (2) it is not set: global CPACS coordinate system.
Element componentUID | [0, 1] | UID of the geometric description of the component
Element mass |  | Mass [kg]
Element location | [0, 1] | Mass location. If the optional refType attribute is set, it explicitly specifies whether the location of the mass refers to the global CPACS coordinate system (absGobal) or the local coordinate system of the parent element (absLocal, given by the CPACS hierarchy OR by parentUID). If it is not set, the global CPACS coordinate system is considered as default. To ensure consistency, the same settings apply as well to orientation and massInertia.
Element orientation | [0, 1] | Orientation. The reference coordinate system (absGlobal or absLocal) is identical to location.
Element massInertia | [0, 1] | Mass inertia. The reference coordinate system (absGlobal or absLocal) is identical to location.

Note: The combination of location with refType="absLocal" and no parentUID is global, because the local coordinate system to which the location is referring to via refType equals the global coordinate system.

location Element

CPACS Documentation
location Element

Mass location. If the optional refType attribute is set, it explicitly specifies whether the location of the mass refers to the global CPACS coordinate system (absGobal) or the local coordinate system of the parent element (absLocal, given by the CPACS hierarchy OR by parentUID). If it is not set, the global CPACS coordinate system is considered as default. To ensure consistency, the same settings apply as well to orientation and massInertia.

Remarks

A generic system represents aircraft systems from a geometric and mass perspective. It consists of physically existing components of the aircraft and can therefore be used to derive system-level weight and balance properties.

Each component references a predefined system element or, alternatively, a rotor element. Components do not need to be fully positioned. If no transformation element is defined, the component is considered unpositioned and is not taken into account when evaluating the global center of gravity.

The x-coordinate is typically chosen same as of the leading edge of the wing in the spanwise section having a chordlength identical to MAC. Coordinates given as %MAC shall always use this x-coordinate and length (e.g. 0%MAC = x, 100%MAC = x + length). The y coordinate is typically 0. The z coordinate is often chosen either as 0., or as z of fueselage nose or as z of middle of center fuselage part.

Attribute uID | Simple Type ID | Yes | UID
Remarks

A guide curve profile is defined by a profile name, an optional description and a 3-dimensional relative pointlist with all three coordinates mandatory. For typical profiles, one of the coordinate vectors contains only "0" entries. All point coordinates are transferred to the global coordinate system. First and last point may, but need not to, be identical.

The points have to be ordered in a mathematical positive sense.

A profile can be symmetric. In that case the profile is interpreted as being not closed and will be closed by mirroring it on the symmetry plane.

Curves have to go continuously over the whole wing or fuselage

Connection of guide curves from segment to segment

guide Profile Wing
guide Profile Fuselage

Please note, currently it is not possible to apply any means of class based transformation in the description. However, this may be an addition for the future.

Remarks
A leadingEdgeDevice (LED) is defined via its outerShape relative to the componentSegment. The WingCutOut defines the area of the skin that is removed by the LED. Structure is similar to the wing structure. The mechanical links between the LED and the parent are defined in tracks. The deflection path is described in path. Additional actuators, that are not included into a track, can be defined in actuators.Leading and trailing edge are defined by the outer shape of the wing segments, i.e. the trailing edge of a trailingEdgeDevice is the trailing edge of the wing. This is also valid for kinks that are present in the wing but not explicitly modeled in the control surface.

Remarks

A point set contains discrete spatial points at which loads are applied (e.g., aerodynamic or structural loads). A typical procedure in CPACS is as follows:

  • Reference a wing, fuselage or control surface by its uID using the componentUID node.
  • Define a reference axis through the above component with the loadReferenceLine element to specify where a load distribution shall be applied.
  • Compute the intersections with (e.g.) ribs of the referenced component (wing, fuselage or control surface) and write the results into loadApplicationPoints. This procedure results from common practice where the forces in structural analyses are typically introduced at structural elements such as ribs and spars. With respect to preliminary aircraft design a two-dimensional load distribution is preferred. However, an arbitrary distribution of the load application points is possible (without the intersection of structural elements with a reference axis in the previous step), for example to define discrete load distributions on the wing surface in streamwise and spanwise direction.
  • Specify the location and orientation of cut loads in the cutLoadIntegrationPoints element and the corresponding connectivity information in the connectivities node.

Remarks

1. General

The massBreakeDown is subdivided in designMasses, fuel, payload and mOME (operating empty mass).

designMass

The design masses contain the overall values for mTOM and so forth. These should be listed as specified by the TLAR or found from initial sizing.

fuel and payload

The fuel and payload nodes should contain maximum values, i.e. full fuel tanks, all passengers on board and full cargo holding. These values may exceed the maximum allowable take-off mass as the actual loading of the aircraft should be specified in the weight and balance section of the aircraft.

mOEM

The operation empty mass structure is based on the Airbus Mass Standard brake down [AIRBUS MASS STANDARD 2008]. The operator’s mass empty (OME) is defined by the sum of the following component masses:

  • operator’s items
  • manufacturer’s mass empty (MME)

2. massDescription

Each sub component has the following massDescription which include a:

  • Name
  • Description
  • parentUID
  • Mass value
  • Mass location
  • Mass orientation
  • Mass Inertia.

The massdescription can be found at the designMasses direct under each item. At the fuel, payload and mOME under massDescription in each item and sub item.

Concerning symmetry please note that any item referenced by its UID, e.g. wingUID, accounts for the complete component, e.g. right and left side. Hence for these items their complete mass needs to be specified. If the mass of geometricallly symmetrical components is different, please use the symmetry modifyers for UIDs: _symm and _mirror.

Definition of the material properties for one of the following material types:
  • isotropic materials
  • anisotropic 2D and 3D materials
  • orthotropic 2D and 3D materials
The nonemclature is adopted from [1] to define the material properties in an orthotogonal 1-2-3 coordinate system. This may be illustrated by the stresses of a three-dimensional cube:

Element parentUID | [0, 1] | UID of the component which serves as parent element, i.e. whose coordinate system is to be used as a reference for the mass properties (CoG location, orientation and massInertia). Thus, two cases can occur: (1) it is set: local coordinate system of the parent; (2) it is not set: global CPACS coordinate system.
Element componentUID | [0, 1] | UID of the geometric description of the component
Element mass |  | Mass [kg]
Element location | [0, 1] | Mass location. If the optional refType attribute is set, it explicitly specifies whether the location of the mass refers to the global CPACS coordinate system (absGobal) or the local coordinate system of the parent element (absLocal, given by the CPACS hierarchy OR by parentUID). If it is not set, the global CPACS coordinate system is considered as default. To ensure consistency, the same settings apply as well to orientation and massInertia.
Element orientation | [0, 1] | Orientation. The reference coordinate system (absGlobal or absLocal) is identical to location.

If the optional refType attribute is set, it explicitly specifies whether the location of the mass refers to the global CPACS coordinate system (absGobal) or the local coordinate system of the parent element (absLocal, given by the CPACS hierarchy OR by parentUID). If it is not set, the global CPACS coordinate system is considered as default. To ensure consistency, the same settings apply as well to orientation and massInertia.

Thus, two cases can occur: (1) it is set: local coordinate system of the parent; (2) it is not set: global CPACS coordinate system.
Element componentUID | [0, 1] | UID of the geometric description of the component
Element mass |  | Mass [kg]
Element location | [0, 1] | Mass location. If the optional refType attribute is set, it explicitly specifies whether the location of the mass refers to the global CPACS coordinate system (absGobal) or the local coordinate system of the parent element (absLocal, given by the CPACS hierarchy OR by parentUID). If it is not set, the global CPACS coordinate system is considered as default. To ensure consistency, the same settings apply as well to orientation and massInertia.
Element orientation | [0, 1] | Orientation. The reference coordinate system (absGlobal or absLocal) is identical to location.
Element massInertia | [0, 1] | Mass inertia. The reference coordinate system (absGlobal or absLocal) is identical to location.

Remarks

Hierarchical buildup of the mission definition

The mission definition is built-up in a hierarchical way. As the topmost element of the hierarchical mission definition, missions are created within the missions node. Here, one or more segmentBlocks are referenced. These again link to a sequence of segments, making up parts of the missions:

<missions> containing the <startCondition> and a sequence of <segmentBlockUIDs>
<segmentBlocks>

grouping multiple <segments> and providing overall information concerning the block of segments:

  1. constraints in the form of an endCondition or given flightPath,
  2. variableSegments and the corresponding variableConditions in case a segment should be adjusted such to meet the segmentBlock's endCondition,
  3. fuelPlanningType (designFuel, reserveFuel , additionalFuel),
  4. segmentDirection and numberOfRepetitions.

<segments>

containing detailed information per segment:

EITHER

  1. segmentType,
  2. endConditions,
  3. constraints,
  4. environmentalConditions

ORmassFraction

ORmass

startConditions, constraints, endConditions and the relationalOperator attribute

the startCondition is provided at the mission node. Each subsequent segmentBlock/segment ends by the provided endCondition.

<startCondition> | start condition of the mission (can be an airfield or mid-air condition)
<endCondition> | specific end condition for a segmentBlock or segment (e.g.: an altitude or velocity)
<constraint> | specific performance settings for a segmentBlock or segment (e.g.: a cruise Mach number)
attribute @relationalOperator

Indicate how conditions should be interpreted:

  • enum: „lt“, „le“, „eq“, „ne“, „ge“, „gt“

  • Examples:

    Copy
    <machNumber relationalOperator="le">0.78</machNumber>
<duration relationalOperator="eq">1800</duration>

Example implementation for a civil transport mission

In the figure above, an example for a civil aircraft transport mission is provided.

The mission starts at a position of 0, 0, 0 with 0 velocity, as provided by the of the mission node. Furthermore, the environmental conditions are provided: ISA atmosphere with a deltaTemperature of 0 [K]. The mission consists of three segmentBlocks: a designMission, reserves and the taxiIn segmentBlock.

Copy
<mission uID="exampleMission">
    <name>example mission</name>

        </positionXYZ>
        <environment>
            <atmosphericModel>ISA</atmosphericModel>
            <deltaTemperature>0.0</deltaTemperature>

        <uID>reserves</uID>
        <uID>endPhase</uID>
    </segmentBlockUIDs>
</mission>

The designMission segmentBlock is shown below. It provides a set of five segments, together making up a mission with a range of 1000 [nm] or 1852 [km]. The “cruise” segment is the variable segment, which thereby should have a range of: 1852000 – range(climb) – range(descent), provided the taxiOut and takeOff segments are not providing any range credit. The fuel burned during this segmentBlock should be added to the designFuel, the segmentDirection is provided for illustration purposes.

Copy
<segmentBlocks>
    <segmentBlock uID="designMission">
        <name>design mission</name>
        <description>segment block for the design mission</description>

        <segmentDirection>outbound</segmentDirection>
        <segmentUIDs>
            <uID>taxiOut</uID>
            <uID>takeOff</uID>
            <uID>climb</uID>
            <uID>cruise</uID>
            <uID>descent</uID>
        </segmentUIDs>
    </segmentBlock>
</segmentBlocks>

The first and second segment are providing input for the part of the segmentBlock that doesn’t need simulation. During the taxiOut phase, 50 [kg] of fuel is burned. The takeOff phase has a duration of 30 [sec].

Copy
<segment uID="taxiOut">
    <name>taxi out</name>
    <description>taxi out segment</description>
    <segmentType>massFraction</segmentType>
    <fuelMass>50</fuelMass>

<segment uID="takeOff">

    <description>take off segment</description>
    <segmentType>takeOff</segmentType>
    <endCondition>
        <duration relationalOperator="eq">00:00:30</duration>
    </endCondition>
</segment>

The rest of the segments make-up the flying part of the designMission. The climb phase, ending at an altitude of FL330 or 10058.4 [m], provides a constraint-lapse having discrete steps, typical for transport aircraft (a 250 kt / 300 kt / M 0.78 climb profile). Through the referenceEndconditionUID “altClimb”, a link to the altitude endCondition of the segment at the basis of this climb profile is provided.

Altitude from | Altitude to | calibratedAirspeed | machNumber
0.0 [m] | 0.303 * 10058.4 = 3047.7 [m] | ≤ 128.61 [m/s] | ≤ 0.78 [-]
0.303 * 10058.4 = 3047.7 [m] | 10058.4 [m] | ≤ 154.33 [m/s] | ≤ 0.78 [-]

The cruise phase is not fixed to a certain altitude and has no endCondition, since its range is determined by the segmentBlock information. The descent phase makes sure the vehicle lands at an altitude of 0 [m]. In this case, since the values are not explicitly provided, it is up to the mission simulation software to determine, when the cruise phase ends and the descent phase starts.

</segment>

Two more segmentBlocks make up the mission. The “reserves” segmentBlock provides information for the cruise to alternate airport and loitering phase and the corresponding burnt fuel is considered reserveFuel. The mission ends with a landing and taxiIn phase within the “endPhase” segmentBlock, of which the burnt fuel is considered additionalFuel. The following then holds: blockFuel = designFuel + additionalFuel.

Element parentUID | [0, 1] | UID of the component which serves as parent element, i.e. whose coordinate system is to be used as a reference for the mass properties (CoG location, orientation and massInertia). Thus, two cases can occur: (1) it is set: local coordinate system of the parent; (2) it is not set: global CPACS coordinate system.
Element componentUID | [0, 1] | UID of the geometric description of the component
Element mass |  | Mass [kg]
Element location | [0, 1] | Mass location. If the optional refType attribute is set, it explicitly specifies whether the location of the mass refers to the global CPACS coordinate system (absGobal) or the local coordinate system of the parent element (absLocal, given by the CPACS hierarchy OR by parentUID). If it is not set, the global CPACS coordinate system is considered as default. To ensure consistency, the same settings apply as well to orientation and massInertia.
Element orientation | [0, 1] | Orientation. The reference coordinate system (absGlobal or absLocal) is identical to location.
Element massInertia | [0, 1] | Mass inertia. The reference coordinate system (absGlobal or absLocal) is identical to location.

Element mass |  | Mass [kg]
Element location | [0, 1] | Mass location. If the optional refType attribute is set, it explicitly specifies whether the location of the mass refers to the global CPACS coordinate system (absGobal) or the local coordinate system of the parent element (absLocal, given by the CPACS hierarchy OR by parentUID). If it is not set, the global CPACS coordinate system is considered as default. To ensure consistency, the same settings apply as well to orientation and massInertia.
Element orientation | [0, 1] | Orientation. The reference coordinate system (absGlobal or absLocal) is identical to location.
Element massInertia | [0, 1] | Mass inertia. The reference coordinate system (absGlobal or absLocal) is identical to location.

Remarks

The following figure shows the basic setup of the guide curves. They always start at a given ζ-position (fromZeta) on the profile of the specified start section (startSectionUID) and end at the ζ-position (toZeta) on the profile of the subsequent section. The relative coordinates of the guide curves are specified in cpacs/vehicles/profiles/guideCurves and referenced via its uID.

Note: Guide curves and profiles must result in a valid curve network.

The guide curve points are interpreted as (Δr and Δx) offsets from a cubic polynomial. This polynomial serves as a baseline for guide curves between segments located on different radial positions with smooth transitions:

Note: Currently, the nacelles do not have an explicit guide curve type but employ the standard guide curve definition, which is used in wings and profiles. Therefore, the parameters have a different meaning:

Standard guide curve parameter | Nacelle guide curve equivalent | Description
rX | φ | Independent variable normalized to [0,1]
rY | Δx | Orthogonal offset (translation in x-direction)
rZ | Δr | Radial offset

Remarks

An engine nacelle is defined by sections, where at least one and up to an infinite number of sections can be specified. Lofting of the nacelle surface along the sections is done in cylindrical coordinates. The coordinate origin refers to the center of the fan, i.e. the sections and their profiles are typically shifted in negative x-direction.

Note: In the current CPACS release, transformations are still labeled as Cartesian coordinates. It is current work in progress to explicitly introduce cylindrical coordinates. Until this is implemented in a future CPACS release, the implicit conventions listed below apply:

Translation component | Cylindrical coordinate equivalent | Description
x | ϑ | Rotation angle around x
y | h | Horizontal translation
z | r | Radial translation

The following example illustrates the setup of a nacelle with 4 sections. These are rotated by 0, 120, 180 and 240 degrees around the x-axis (given by translation/x). To illustrate the possible transformations, the profile of the upper section is shifted slightly further in the negative x-direction (translation/y), while the lower section has a smaller radial distance from the rotation axis (translation/z). In addition, the sections are scaled differently (transformation/scaling; not shown in the example figures) in order to create a straight trailing edge and to realize a flattened profile near the ground.

The following example also shows the profile cut-outs due to the radially symmetric inner region of the nacelle defined by therotationCurve. For detailed information, please refer to the documentation of the rotationCurve element.

The first section is not rotated (x=ϑ=0), but shifted vertically in negative direction (y=h=-0.257). The radial distance is given by z=r=0.365:

Upper section at 0°
Copy
<section uID="fanCowl_upperSection">

        </translation>
    </transformation>
    <profileUID>fanCowlUpperSectionProfile</profileUID>
</section>

The second section is rotated around the x-axis (x=ϑ=120) as well as scaled by a factor of 1.1 in its profile height:

<section uID="fanCowl_inboardSection">

        </translation>
    </transformation>
    <profileUID>fanCowlUpperSectionProfile</profileUID>

The third section is rotated around the x-axis by 180° and scaled by a factor of 0.8 in its profile height:

Thus, two cases can occur: (1) it is set: local coordinate system of the parent; (2) it is not set: global CPACS coordinate system.
Element componentUID | [0, 1] | UID of the geometric description of the component
Element mass |  | Mass [kg]
Element location | [0, 1] | Mass location. If the optional refType attribute is set, it explicitly specifies whether the location of the mass refers to the global CPACS coordinate system (absGobal) or the local coordinate system of the parent element (absLocal, given by the CPACS hierarchy OR by parentUID). If it is not set, the global CPACS coordinate system is considered as default. To ensure consistency, the same settings apply as well to orientation and massInertia.
Element orientation | [0, 1] | Orientation. The reference coordinate system (absGlobal or absLocal) is identical to location.
Element massInertia | [0, 1] | Mass inertia. The reference coordinate system (absGlobal or absLocal) is identical to location.

  • Plastification curve incl. element elimination (isotropic materials)

Plastification curve incl. element elimination (isotropic materials) The data may be used to describe the plastic behavior of isotropic materials in non-linear analysis, such as crash simulations. The input is defined according to the needs of Material 103 (single stress strain option) in the PAM-CRASH explicit Finite Element code, but can also be used for equivalent material laws in alternative simulation environment (see PAM-CRASH Solver Reference Manual., Material 103)

Remarks

The positionings describe an additional translation of sections. Basically, the positioning is a vector having the length 'length' and an orientation that is described by the parameters 'sweepAngle' and 'dihedralAngle'. If the 'sweepAngle' and the 'dihedralAngle' are set to zero (or left blank) the positioning vector equals the positive y-axis of the coordinate system (in case of a positive 'length').

If the parameter 'fromSectionUID' is set, the positioning describes the translation between the 'from' towards the 'to' section. If the parameter 'fromSectionUID' is left blank the origin of the positioning vector is the origin of the parent coordinate system.

The origin of the section coordinate system is the position which is described by the positioning vector PLUS the translation which is described in the section.

Please note: If the origin of the positioning vector is defined by using another section, i.e. fromSection is defined, the origin of this vector equals the end of the positioning vector of the previous section. This means that the section translation of the from-section has no influence on the positioning of the to-section. Therefore the total translation, which is described by positionings, is the sum of the current positioning and all positionings that are defined 'before'.

An example for this is given at positioning 3 and 4 at the picture below. Please note, that any other combination of positionings would be possible.

Application of the sweepangle does not lead to a rotation of the section. Application of the dihedral does not lead to a rotation of the section.

Short description

The ProfileBasedStructuralElement type containins the data of a structural element, that are based on 2-dimensional profiles.

There are three approaches to model profile based structural elements:

  • by specifying global beam properties
  • by referencing a structuralProfile2D element
  • by choosing one of the prescribed standard profiles

1. Global beam properties

In the section globalBeamProperties the properties of the structural profile in an equivalent beam representation are defined.

2. Structural 2D profile

The structuralProfileUID element refers to the uID of the structuralProfile2D element. As described in the corresponding documentation, this profile is defined by several points in the x-y-space. Two points always form a sheet. The properties of each sheet are defined in the sheetProperties element. The orthotropy direction of composite materials equals the sheets' x-axis. The orthotropy direction angle equals a positive rotation around the sheets' z-axis as indicated in the picture below (part 3), which shows an example of a wing stringer.:

3. Standard structural 2D profile

Instead of referencing a structuralProfile2D element, it is also possible to select a predefined standard profile. These profiles are listed in the figure below. Under sheetProperties, only the standardProfileSheetID (equals S1, S2, ...) must now be specified along with a corresponding length.

Remarks

A profile is defined by a profile name, an optional description and a 2-dimensional pointlist with both coordinates mandatory. All point coordinates are transferred to the global coordinate system depending on the context they are used in. The points have to be ordered in a mathematical positive sense. The x-coordinates of the profile has to be normalized between 0 and 1. First and last point may, but need not to, be identical. Hence, it is possible to include "open" profiles. However, the trailing edge position of the upper and lower point need to be identical. No crooked trailing edges are possible.

Example 1: For a conventional nacelle profile, the airfoil coordinates are defined in x and y. The points have to be ordered from the trailing edge along the lower side to the leading edge and then along the upper side back to the trailing edge. When used for a nacelle the profile axis align with the global axes as follows: +x_profile -> +x_global; +y-profile -> -z_global

Example 2: For a fuselage, the coordinates are also given in x and z with x as the normalized fuselage height. Starting point of the profile should be the lowest point (typically in the symmetry plane), then upwards on the positive x-side up to the highest point (again, typically in the symmetry plane). Depending on, whether the fuselage shall be specified with symmetry condition or not, the profile either ends there, or continues on the negative x-side back down to the lowest point.

Alternatively, it is possible to specify the coordinates of a profile via the CST (class function /shape function transformation technique) notation. Please see the cst2DType for further information.

A profile can be symmetric. In that case the profile is interpreted as being not closed and will be closed by mirroring it on the symmetry plane.

Remarks

A profile is defined by a profile name, an optional description and a 3-dimensional pointlist with all three coordinates mandatory. For typical profiles, one of the coordinate vectors contains only "0" entries. All point coordinates are transferred to the global coordinate system. The points have to be ordered in a mathematical positive sense. Normalized coordinates are not required. First and last point may, but need not to, be identical. Hence, it is possible to include "open" profiles. However, the trailing edge position of the upper and lower point need to be identical. No crooked trailing edges are possible.

Example 1: For a conventional wing, the airfoil coordinates are defined in x and z with all the y-coordinates set to "0". The points have to be ordered from the trailing edge along the lower side to the leading edge and then along the upper side back to the trailing edge.

Example 2: For a fuselage, the coordinates are typically given in y and z with x set to "0". Starting point of the profile should be the lowest point (typically in the symmetry plane), then upwards on the positive y-side up to the highest point (again, typically in the symmetry plane). Depending on, whether the fuselage shall be specified with symmetry condition or not, the profile either ends there, or continues on the negative y-side back down to the lowest point.

Alternatively, it is possible to specify the coordinates of a profile via the CST (class function /shape function transformation technique) notation. Please see the cst2DType for further information.

A profile can be symmetric. In that case the profile is interpreted as being not closed and will be closed by mirroring it on the symmetry plane.

Element ribRotation | [0, 1] | WING: The Rotation along the x describes a rotation around a line, that is defined by the intersection of the rib with the wing middle plane (orientated from leading to trailing edge). This angle defaults to 90° which means, that the rib is perpendicular on the wings middle plane. The rotation angle is defined at the intersection point of the rib with the ribReference line. The rib itself is always straight and not twisted. PYLON: The Rotation along the z describes a rotation around the pylons z-axis (= rotation in top view). This angle defaults to 90° which means, that the rib is perpendicular to the pylons x-axis.

Remarks

The width of the profile is always 1, since scaling is performed after referencing it (e.g., in the fuselage).

The resulting profile is defined by the following equation:

Equation for rectangle with rounded corners

with c = cornerRadius and r = heightToWidthRatio.

Example: Rectangle with cornerRadius=0.125 and heightToWidthRatio=0.5

Remarks

The figure below shows an example of a rotation curve. Together with the corresponding XML code, the definition is explained in more detail.

Rotation curve of a nacelle

First, the reference system is defined via referenceSectionUID, for which in this example the section with uID="engine_nacelle_fanCowl_section1" is referenced. This in turn contains a transformation (not shown here), for example a translation by z=0.4 and a scaling, where the x-direction is stretched by a factor of two.

The rotation curve is now described in this reference system. It is predefined in the profile library and referenced via a its uID. Note that the curve is defined in the range x=[0,..,1] in order to be reasonably transformed by the reference system.

Next, the blending from the rotated profile of the nacelle segment to the rotation curve is defined. The corresponding start and end points are given in curve coordinates zeta of the corresponding profiles. Note that the lower part of the segment profile counts from zeta=[-1,..,0] and the upper part counts from zeta=[0,..,1]. In between, the blending is linear.

The rotor blade gometry definitions of an rotorcraft model.

Rotor blade geometries are defined using the same data structure as wings (wingType). But in order to be compatible with the other rotor blade related types (e.g. rotorType, rotorHubType, rotorHubHingeType) there are some additional conventions/requirements regarding the definition and orientation of rotorBlade geometries:

  • Rotor blades should be positioned relative to the global z-axis the way they will be positioned to the rotor shaft (when blade azimuth=0deg).
  • The global x-axis should be used as radial axis (usually the quarter chord line of the rotor blade coincides to a great extent with the x-axis of the rotor blade coordinate system).
  • All sections should be positioned in the positive x halfspace.
  • Segments should connect sections with ascending x coordinates.
  • Airfoils defined in the rotorAirfoils node should be used instead airfoils from the wingAirfoils node.

Remarks

1. General

The massBreakeDown is subdivided in designMasses, fuel, payload and mOME (operating empty mass).

designMass

The design mass is a description from TLARs and can be understand as design criteria.

fuel and payload

The fuel and payload mass are the maximum masses which can be achieved. Full fuel tanks, all passengers on board and full cargo holding.

mOEM

The operation empty mass structure is based on the Airbus Mass Standard brake down [AIRBUS MASS STANDARD 2008]. The operator’s mass empty (OME) is defined by the sum of the following component masses:

  • operator’s items
  • manufacturer’s mass empty (MME)

2. massDescription

Each sub component has the following massDescription which include a:

  • Name
  • Description
  • parentUID
  • Mass value
  • Mass location
  • Mass orientation
  • Mass Inertia.

That massdescription can be found at the designMasses direct under each item. At the fuel, payload and mOME under massDescription in each item and sub item.

The rotorcraft models.Most of the extensions used in the rotorcraft type have been defined as part of the work in the DLR project RIDE (Rotorcraft Integrated Design and Evaluation, 2009-2012). Therefore some of the definitions and conventions are tightly coupled to the RIDE toolchain and tools. Further generalization and assimilation of these parts to the definitions for fixed-wing aircraft is planned for the near future.

Remarks

Rotor (e.g. main rotor, tail rotor, fenestron, propeller,...) definition of a rotorcraft model.

The position and attitude of the rotor is defined using the transformation element. The following image shows the CPACS conventions for the orientation of rotors and rotor axis systems:

rotor cs 01
  • The origin coincides with the center of rotation.
  • The z-axis corresponds to the axis of rotation and thus coincides with the rotor shaft centerline. It Points in the main thrust direction of the rotor (usually upwards for a main rotor, forwards for a propeller).
  • The x-axis points from nose to tail (usually rearwards for main and tail rotors, upwards for a propeller).
  • The y-axis completes the right-handed orthogonal coordinate system.

Rotor hub attributes, hinges and references to attached rotor blades are defined in the rotorHub element.

Note that rotor blade geometries are only referenced and not defined in the child nodes of the rotor element. Refer to the documentation of rotorBladesType (Empty#T/rotorBladesType) and wingType (Empty#T/wingType) for information on the definition of rotor blade geometries.

The following figure shows the transformations to be applied to rotorBlade geometries to visualize them in the rotor frames for a given state (each rotor: rotorAzimuth given, each hinge: hingeDeflection given):

Element rotation | [0, 1] | Rotation data default: 0,0,0. The rotation angles are the three Euler angles to describe the orientation of the coordinate system. The order is always xyz in CPACS. Therefore the first rotation is around the x-axis, the second rotation is around the rotated y-axis (y') and the third rotation is around the two times rotated z-axis (z'').
Element scaling | [0, 1] | Scaling data default: 1,1,1. Those parameters describe the scaling of the x-, y-, and z-axis.
Element translation | [0, 1] | Translation data default: 0,0,0. Translations can either be made absolute in the global coordinate system (absGlobal) or absolute in the local Coordinate system (absLocal).

Element parentUID | [0, 1] | UID of the component which serves as parent element, i.e. whose coordinate system is to be used as a reference for the mass properties (CoG location, orientation and massInertia). Thus, two cases can occur: (1) it is set: local coordinate system of the parent; (2) it is not set: global CPACS coordinate system.
Element componentUID | [0, 1] | UID of the geometric description of the component
Element mass |  | Mass [kg]
Element location | [0, 1] | Mass location. If the optional refType attribute is set, it explicitly specifies whether the location of the mass refers to the global CPACS coordinate system (absGobal) or the local coordinate system of the parent element (absLocal, given by the CPACS hierarchy OR by parentUID). If it is not set, the global CPACS coordinate system is considered as default. To ensure consistency, the same settings apply as well to orientation and massInertia.
Element orientation | [0, 1] | Orientation. The reference coordinate system (absGlobal or absLocal) is identical to location.
Element massInertia | [0, 1] | Mass inertia. The reference coordinate system (absGlobal or absLocal) is identical to location.

Remarks

sparPositionType, a sparPostion defines a location within the componentSegment where a spar in mounted. Those positions are combined to spars by using a list of spar position uIDs. The order of the sparPositionUIDs must be the same as the order of the points on the real spar (from root to tip or from tip to root).

Please note: orientation of a spar must be always outbound or always inbound. A zigzag spar orientation where e.g. the spar starts at the root, goes to the tip and goes back to another point at the root is not allowed.

Please find below a picture for an example definition of 3 spars in one wing, by using spar position points and spar segments:

Attribute symmetry | Restriction string |  | Side of the referenced symmetric component (def, symm or full)
Remarks
This is the base type that links to other components. It should always contain a UID.This node has an additional attribute isLink that will be used if a stringBaseType refers to a uID. TIXI can then perform automatic validation for the existence of the referenced uID.

Remarks

Base type for string vector nodes

The vector base type can include optional uncertainty information. The description of uncertainties is placed in additional attributes. First, it is described by an attribute that describes the type of uncertainty function called functionName. The functionName attribute includes the tag name of the distribution function which is listened in the table shown below. Each uncertainty function is further describes by a set of parameters that are described in the table below.

If the uncertainty values change for the elements of the vector than the attribute may be written as a list of values separated by semicolons

DEPRECATED: As of CPACS version 3.3, the mapType attribute is set to optional to ensure the compatibility of older data sets. However, since the type is uniquely defined via the XSD, the attribute is superfluous and will therefore be completely omitted in the next major release (Note: requires TiXI >= 3.3). Please contact the CPACS team if for any reason you see a long-term need for the mapType attribute.

Remarks

In order to place non-structural masses in a model, it is necessary to define where these masses are attached to the structure. For example, you want to model a heavy on-board system, a piece of payload, a fuel tank, an engine, etc. as a fixed point mass. The first step would be to create a mass point at the center of gravity of your component. For some components this is directly available, the a fuel tank you would evaluate the volume and fill rate from its CPACS definition to get the CoG. The next step is to connect the mass point to the structure in a physically meaningful way to properly introduce any inertial loads generated by that mass into the structure. This purpose is fulfilled by the structural mounts. The logic of these mounts is to identify points or lines in the geometry created by the intersection of two referenced structural components ("fromStructureUID" and "toStructureUID"). These points or lines are then connected to the center of gravity of the mass point. The reasoning behind this is that the intersections between two structural objects (e.g., rib and spar) usually represent locations in the model that are stiff enough to support the additional loads from any equipment.

For example, the following figure shows a heavy system represented by a generic sphere attached to the structure by three structural mounts:

From left to right:

  • The leftmost attachment uses the end points of the intersection line between the starboard wall and the forward bulkhead.
  • The middle attachment uses all points (here only 7 points are drawn for visualization) on the intersection line between the middle wall and the front bulkhead.
  • The rightmost attachment has a similar definition to the left one, using the end points of the intersection line between the port wall and the front bulkhead.

When creating a structural FEM model of this CPACS representation, a rigid body element (e.g. Nastran RBEx) can be generated based on the yellow lines. This is used, for example, to attach landing gear struts to the aircraft structure.

In short, structural mounts identify points or lines by intersecting two structural components, the resulting points or lines are then attached to a third component that references this structural mount as its attachment. Typically, as in the example above, components reference more than one structural mount as their attachment points.

Data of a structure profile cross sections. The cross section profile is defined by several points (->pointList) in the x-y-space. Two points are combined to one sheet (->sheetList) by using the pointUIDs.

This profile is defined by several points in the x-y-space. Always two points are combined to one sheet. The properties of each sheet are defined in the 'sheetProperties' section by referencing on the sheetUID and the material properties. The orthotropy direction of composite materials equals the x-sheet axis. The orthotropy direction angle equals a positive rotation around the z-sheet axis as indicated in the picture below (part 3.), where a wing stringer is defined as an example:

Remarks

A profile based on superellipses is composed of an upper and a lower semi-ellipse, which may differ from each other in their parameterization. The total width and height of the profile is always 1, since scaling is performed after referencing (e.g., in the fuselage).

This lowerHeightFraction describes the portion of the lower semi-ellipse on the total height.

The resulting profile is defined by the following set of equations:

Equation for superellipse in positive half-space
Equation for superellipse in negative half-space

with

Equation for superellipse middle line

The following examples indicate the various possibilities of parametric profiles:

Example 1: (mUpper,nUpper,mLower,nLower, lowerHeightFraction) = (0.5; 2; 5; 3; 0.25)

Example of adjacent lower and upper superellipse

Example 2: (mUpper,nUpper,mLower,nLower, lowerHeightFraction) = (2; 2; 2; 2; 0.5) = a circle

Example of a superellipse forming a circle

Example 3: (mUpper,nUpper,mLower,nLower, lowerHeightFraction) = (1; 1; 1; 1; 0.5) = a square / diamond

Example of a superellipse forming a square

Note: For exponents that are infinitely large, the superellipse converges to a rectangle. However, the value Inf is not a valid entry at this point. Use the square element instead.

Remarks

A system architecture represents the logical and functional view of an aircraft system. It complements the physical and geometric description provided by genericSystems by defining the connections between instantiated components and their interfaces to other systems.

In accordance with the CPACS top-down approach, a system architecture may initially be specified only by its systemType. The systemType can be used to classify the architecture by a predefined ATA chapter or by the keyword generic.

The optional controlDevices can be used to describe operating states by assigning abstract control parameters. The optional connections define the source and target of interactions within the architecture. These references may point to components or sub-components, or alternatively to external elements (ambient | passengers), ATA chapters, or other system architectures.

Remarks

A connection represents a directed logical relation between a source and a target within a system architecture. It can be used to describe interactions, transfer paths, or dependencies between system components and their interfaces to other systems.

Depending on the selected modeling fidelity, source and target may reference components (or their sub-components) via uID. Alternatively, they may refer to external entities (such as ambient or passengers), ATA chapters, or other system architectures. Optional controlDevices can be used to describe connection-specific operating states.

The optional connectionType classifies the primary nature of the connection, such as electric, pneumatic, hydraulic, mechanical, fluid, or data.

The fluid type denotes the transport of a fluid medium as a consumable or resource, such as fuel, water, or oxygen. In contrast, hydraulic and pneumatic denote the transmission or conditioning of power via a pressurized liquid or gas, respectively.

Provides the vehicle-level library of reusable system element definitions.

Elements are organized first by their principal physical output or transported quantity and then by functional role: storage, conversion, distribution, control, or consumption. The driving input does not determine the branch. For example, electricMotor is located under mechanical conversion elements because it produces mechanical power.

Each singular library element inherits a required uID from vehicleElementBaseType and can be referenced by instantiated system components.

The local component coordinate system of the torus is centered at its geometric center. The symmetry axis coincides with the local z-axis, the reference circle lies in the plane z = 0.

The optional revolutionAngle defines the angle of revolution about the local z-axis. If not specified, it defaults to 2*pi, resulting in a full torus.

A trailingEdgeDevice (TED) is defined via its outerShape relative to the componentSegment. The WingCutOut defines the area of the skin that is removed by the TED. Structure is similar to the wing structure. The mechanical links between the TED and the parent are defined in tracks. The deflection path is described in path. Additional actuators, that are not included into a track, can be defined in actuators. Leading and trailing edge are defined by the outer shape of the wing segments, i.e. the trailing edge of a trailingEdgeDevice is the trailing edge of the wing. This is also valid for kinks that are present in the wing but not explicitly modeled in the control surface.

Remarks
Set of transformations. The order of the transformations is scaling -> rotation -> translation, and they are executed in this order. Any of them can be omitted; it will be replaced by its defaults.Transformations are always executed relative to the child not the parent. I.e. a scaling does not have an influence on the parent item. For example in the outer geometry of a wing the element scaling does not influence the section. Scaling does also not effect rotation and translation.

Element rotation | [0, 1] | Rotation data default: 0,0,0. The rotation angles are the three Euler angles to describe the orientation of the coordinate system. The order is always xyz in CPACS. Therefore the first rotation is around the x-axis, the second rotation is around the rotated y-axis (y') and the third rotation is around the two times rotated z-axis (z'').
Element scaling | [0, 1] | Scaling data default: 1,1,1. Those parameters describe the scaling of the x-, y-, and z-axis.
Element translation | [0, 1] | Translation data default: 0,0,0. Translations can either be made absolute in the global coordinate system (absGlobal) or absolute in the local Coordinate system (absLocal).

Element rotation | [0, 1] | Rotation data default: 0,0,0. The rotation angles are the three Euler angles to describe the orientation of the coordinate system. The order is always xyz in CPACS. Therefore the first rotation is around the x-axis, the second rotation is around the rotated y-axis (y') and the third rotation is around the two times rotated z-axis (z'').
Element scaling | [0, 1] | Scaling data default: 1,1,1. Those parameters describe the scaling of the x-, y-, and z-axis.

Remarks

A cell defines a special region of the wing. Within this region skin and stringer properties can be defined that differer from the properties of the rest of the wing. In general a cell is defined by defining four borders â€“ the cell leading and trailing edge and the inner border and the outer border. Those borders can either be defined by using eta/xsi coordinates or by referencing to spars and ribs. Mixed definitions (e.g. forward border is defined due to a spar, side borders due to eta coordinates) is allowed. In general a cell is quadrilateral. But if e.g. the spar, which is used for the definition of the trailing edge, has a kink, the cell can have more than four corners.

The cell leading and trailing edge (= forward and rear border) can either be defined by referencing to a spar (->sparUID) or by the defining the xsi (=relative chord) coordinates of the border (xsi1 = inner end; xsi2 = outer end).

The cell inner and outer border can either be defined by referencing to a rib (->ribDefinitionUID and ribNumber) or by the defining the eta (=relative spanwise) coordinates of the border (eta1 = forward end; eta2 = rear end).

Remarks

A wing cutout is defined using any combination of eta-xsi-spar-rib-uids. It has the similar syntax to a wingCell.

The cell leading and trailing edge (= forward and rear border) can either be defined by referencing to a spar (->sparUID) or by the defining the xsi (=relative chord) coordinates of the border (xsi1 = inner end; xsi2 = outer end).

The cell inner and outer border can either be defined by referencing to a rib (->ribDefinitionUID and ribNumber) or by the defining the eta (=relative spanwise) coordinates of the border (eta1 = forward end; eta2 = rear end).

Some examples for wing cells can be found in the picture below:

Remarks

Within elements the airfoils of the wing are defined. Each section can have one or more elements. Within each element one airfoil have to be defined. If e.g. the wing should have a step at this section, two elements can be defined for the two airfoils.

Mathematically spoken a element is a coordinate system that is translated, rotated and scaled relative to the section coordinate system. This transformation parameters are defined within the transformation section. The wirfoil, which is linked by using the parameter airfoilUID is directly 'copied' in the element coordinate system. If e.g. the airfoil is defined from 0 to 1 in x-direction and the total scaling of the elements x-axis equals 3.5 the wing chord is 3.5 m long.

Remarks

Definition of the wing-fuselage attachment. The area of the fuselage attachment (resp. center wing box, CWB) is defined by defining one resp. two ribs from the rib definition. If one rib is defined (rib1) the CWB goes from the closer end of the componentSegment (e.g. wing symmetry plane) to the defined rib. If two ribs are defined (rib1 and rib2), the CWB is between both ribs.

Additionally attachment pins can be defined. At those positions the wing is attached to the fuselage. This can be e.g. used for defining the wing-attachment of high wing configurations, HTPs or VTPs.

Remarks

IntermediateStructure:

It defines the filling materials between the upper and lower shell (e.g. honeycombe structures in a smeared representation). IntermediateStructure is optional.The position of the intermediateStructure is defined in so called cells (= special areas on the wing). Default is no intermediateStructure.

Material Definition of intermediateStructure:

The material of the intermediateStructure is reference by 'material'. The material orientation is defined by 'rotX' and 'rotZ'. 'rotZ' is defined equivalent to the stringer angle resp. the skin orthotropyDirection. 'rotX' equals a positive rotation around the wings x-axis, while a rotation of zero is equivalent to the wing middle plane.

A picture to clarify the reference direction of rotZ (equivalent to orthothropy direction of the wing) can be found in the picture below:

Position definition by using cells:

A cell defines a special region of the wing. Within this region the cell properties are defined. In general a cell is defined by defining four borders â€“ the cell leading and trailing edge and the inner border and the outer border. Those borders can either be defined by using eta/xsi coordinates or by referencing to spars and ribs. Mixed definitions (e.g. forward border is defined due to a spar, side borders due to eta coordinates) is allowed. In general a cell is quadrilateral. But if e.g. the spar, which is used for the definition of the trailing edge, has a kink, the cell can have more than four corners.

The cell leading and trailing edge (= forward and rear border) can either be defined by referencing to a spar (->sparUID) or by the defining the xsi (=relative chord) coordinates of the border (xsi1 = inner end; xsi2 = outer end).

The cell inner and outer border can either be defined by referencing to a rib (->ribDefinitionUID and ribNumber) or by the defining the eta (=relative spanwise) coordinates of the border (eta1 = forward end; eta2 = rear end).

Some examples for wing cells can be found in the picture below:

Remarks

The ribsPositioning type allows the definition of a set of ribs which is distributed over a specified spanwise area.

The positions of the ribs are defined by placing the ribs on a reference line on the wing (ribReference). The inner and the outer beginning of the rib set is defined using etaStart and etaEnd. The position of the forward and rear end of the ribs is defined by ribStart and ribEnd. The orientation of the ribs is defined in ribRotation. The number of ribs of the current rib set is either defined by ribNumber or by spacing.

Three examples how ribs can be placed on the wing are illustrated in the picture below. For more detailed information, please refer to the description of each parameter.

If it is not defined the rotation reference is the eta-axis (=leading edge, that is projected on the wings y-z-plane). A z-rotation angle of 90 degrees means, that the rib is perpendicular on the ribRotationReference (e.g. spar, leading edge...). The rib itself is always straight, and the rotation is defined with respect of the intersection point of the rib with the ribRotationReference.
Element z |  | The rotation around z describes the rotation around the wings midplane normal axis. The defaults to 90°. The reference for the 'zero-angle' of the z-rotation is defined in ribRotationReference.

Remarks

Wing section. The sections contains elements, where the airfoils are defined. For the definition of a wing at least two sections (root and tip) have to be defined, but any number greater than 2 is also possible.

Mathematically spoken a section is a coordinate system that is translated, rotated and scaled relative to the wing coordinate system. This transformation parameters are defined within the transformation section.

In addition to the translation, which is defined in the transformation part, the section can be translated by using the positionings vectors (wing->positiongs). Translation of the positionings vectors is added to the translation of the section.

An example for wing sections can be found in the picture below:

Remarks

Spar is defined by sparSegments that stretch between multiple sparPositions. The spar definition is very flexible in CPACS. Spars can start and end at any position of the wing, spars can have kinks at any position of the wing and spars can cross each other or merge.

At first the spar points (->sparPositions) have to be defined. Spar points are defined using the relative coordinates eta and xsi. Spar points do lay on wing middle plane.

Two or more spar points are connected to on spar segment (->sparSegments). Each spar segment can be seen as one spar. The spar geometry between two spar points is defined as a direct/straight connection in global coordinate system and not in eta xsi coordinates of the component segment. One spar point can be used by more than one spar, if e.g. two spars are merging. The detailed cross section of the spar is also defined with sparSegments.

Please find below a picture for an example definition of 3 spars in one wing, by using spar position points and spar segments:

Within the wingStringerType wing stringers are defined. The stringer are defined by referencing on the stringerStructureUID, where the shape and material settings of one single stringer is defined. In addition the orientation and the stringer pitch have to be defined:

One stringer intersects the point at the given xsi and eta position.

Alternatively, an explicit stringer definition can be applied if the stringers shall be tapered.

Remarks

A lifting surface (wing, HTP, VTP, canard...) of an aircraft model.

Position of the wing: The position of the wing is defined using the transformation parameters. Using those parameters, the wing coordinate system is translated, rotated and scaled.

Definition of the wings outer shape: The outer shape of the wing is defined by airfoils that are placed within the 3D space. Two airfoils are combined to one wing segment within the segments. For the definition of the positions of the airfoils, different sections are defined. Within each section one or more elements are defined. The airfoil shape is defined within the elements. If the wings outer shape should e.g. have a step it is possible to define two different airfoils in one section by using two elements. In most cases each section will only include one element. Positionings are vectors that are used for an additional translation of the sections by using 'user friendly paramaters' as e.g. sweep and dihedral. Please note, the first positioning may be non-zero. Often it will be zero just to locate the wing at the position stated by the translation, but this is not necessary. Finally the wing segments are defined by combining two consecutive elements. A more detailed description is given within the different parameters.

Definition of control surfaces, wing structures, wing fuel tank and wing fuselage attachment: those parts are defined within componentSegments. Please refer to the documentation there.
