This is an initial release of an Aerospace Information Report to provide methods for Engine Suppliers to follow to execute their in house performance models to generate datasets that are provided to airframe customers early in the conceptual design phase of an aircraft program. This AIR provides some general guidance for execution order and input settings to be used to execute the model.

This is a recommended practice for an interface to supplier simulations that utilize traditional interprocess communication (IPC) methods of shared memory and semaphore communications. These IPC methods are fairly standard practice in the computer science world, that allow for communication by separate processes running on a computer without any common runtime requirements of each process being run. So 32bit applications can talk with 64 bit applications as well as any other compiler or runtime dependency being needed by the calling program to interface with the called system. This also allows the calling program and the called program to be run on separate CPUs to allow parallel execution of the called program as well as multiple instances of the called program to execute all on separate processors.

This is an initial release of a recommended practice for exchange of tabular data between supplier and customer for performance prediction and model execution. It will recommend data presentation as well as any implied interpolation.

This Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) describes a class of digital computer programs for use by organizations other than the engine supplier for reduction of engine test data relating to the interface of the engine in the airframe or test facility. This ARP also is intended as a guide for the preparation of such computer programs.

This document defines the process steps involved in collecting and processing engine test data for use in understanding engine behavior. It describes the use of an aero-thermal cycle model for reduction and analysis of those data. The analysis process may include the calculation of modifiers to match the model to measured data and prediction of engine performance based on that analysis.

This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) supplements the AS755 performance station designation system for complex or unconventional propulsion cycles and their derivatives. The station numbering conventions presented herein are for use in all communications concerning propulsion system performance such as computer programs, data reduction, design activities, and published documents. They are intended to facilitate calculations by the program user without unduly restricting the method of calculation used by the program supplier. The contents of this document will follow AS755 and AS6502 where applicable. The list of symbols presented herein will be used for identification of input and output parameters. These symbols are not required to be used as internal parameter names within the engine subprogram.

The SAE Aerospace Standard document AS681 is the parent document of this SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP). AS681 applies to Engine programs written to conform to this document. This ARP specifies a set of functions and their expected behaviors that constitute a function based Application Program Interface (API) for gas turbine engine customer programs. The functions specified in this API are delivered by the Supplier as part of the Engine model.

This document defines generic language independent functions and specific appendices for implementations in C and Fortran.

The function based API specified in this ARP represents an alternative to the Fortran COMMON block structure, as specified in AS4191, historically used to communicate with an engine program. The customer may request emulation of the AS4191 interface if desired.

This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) specifies a set of functions and their expected behavior that constitute an Application Programming Interface (API) for gas turbine engine customer programs. The main body of this document contains a description of each of the API function calls and of the data that passes through these functions. Implementations of this API in specific programming languages are contained in separate appendices. These appendices include language specific details and the definitions for each function as required for the given language. AS681 is the parent document of ARP4868. All of AS681 applies to customer engine programs written to conform to this document.

This SAE Aerospace Recommended Paractice (ARP) provides a method for digital computer programs for gas turbine engine performance, steady-state or transient, performance to be written using the FORTRAN 77 language. When it is agreed between the program User and Supplier that a particular program shall be supplied in FORTRAN 77, it is recommended that this ARP be used in conjunction with AS681 for steady-state and transient programs. This ARP also describes how to take advantage of the FORTRAN 77 CHARACTER storage to extend the information interface between the calling program and the engine subroutine. The ARP has the same major section numbers as AS681 to facilitate its use with this document. The information given in each section of this ARP is additional to that given in AS 681.

They are intended to facilitate calculations by the program user without unduly restricting the method of calculation used by the program supplier. The contents of this document were previously a subset of AS755E. Due to the growing complexity of station numbering schemes and an industry desire to expand nomenclature descriptions, a decision was made to separate the “station numbering” and “nomenclature” contents of AS755 into two separate documents. AS755 will continue to maintain standards for station numbering. SAE Aerospace Standard AS6502 will maintain standards for classical nomenclature moving forward.

This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) provides the method for presentation of gas turbine engine steady state and transient performance calculated using computer programs. It also provides for the presentation of parametric gas turbine data including performance, weight and dimensions computed by computer programs. This standard is intended to facilitate calculations by the program user without unduly restricting the method of calculation used by the program supplier. This standard is applicable to, but not limited to the following program types: data reduction, steady-state, transient, preliminary design, study, specification, status & parametric programs.
