Description
“Share your knowledge. It is a way to achieve immortality.” - the Dalai Lama.
Scientists and Engineers worldwide leverage platforms to model & simulate, to expand knowledge and to collaborate. Open platforms have a key advantage in that they allow a wider and more open collaboration.
Scilab is a powerful open-source modeling and simulation software platform installed every month by more than 100,000 engineers and scientists from around the world.
The goal of this presentation is :
- to introduce Scilab, its history and its governance
- to showcase some applications of Scilab in the Aerospace industry (CNES, Airbus DS, ESA)
- to demonstrate the functional capabilities of the Software
In addition to the Celestlab flight dynamics application developed by CNES, other Scilab-based applications will be covered :
- Use of Scilab for the Rosetta/Philae mission mission
- Sizelab: An Airbus DS application for the mechanical pre-sizing of Ariane 6 launcher
- The Aerospace Blockset developed during the ESA Summer Of Code In Space
Creating knowledge, converting knowledge into applied research and bringing applied research to the industry through sustainable commercial projects is accelerated by connecting these different pools of talent:
- academic experts and students in Universities and Engineering schools
- scientific experts in research centers (public and private)
- research and development teams in industries and companies
The vision we want to share and convey through Scilab and the open-source software is the power of connecting different and complementary talents.
Innovators, inventors and entrepreneurs ultimately prefer to build on open platforms because Open platforms are able to create the most value in the long run.
