The combination of increasing performance demands, increasing system complexity, and the need for reduced program development schedule and budget costs in the aerospace industry is driving engineers to increasingly rely upon modeling, simulation, and analysis (MS&A) in the platform development cycle. One approach to ensuring that such integrated system simulations remain computationally tractable is co-simulation utilizing technology found in commercially available packages, such as PC Krause and Associates, Inc.'s (PCKA's) Distributed Heterogeneous Simulation (DHS) / FastSim software. In such co-simulation environments, dynamic models are executed in independent model spaces, with coupling between subsystems achieved by exchanging a minimal set of required data typically found at subsystem boundaries.
