SysML Based CubeSat Model Design and Integration with the Horizon Simulation Framework

This thesis examines the feasibility of substituting the system input script of Cal Poly’s Horizon Simulation Framework (HSF) with a Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) model designed with the Systems Modeling Language (SysML). A concurrent student project, SysML Output Interface Creation for the Horizon Simulation Framework, focused on design of the HSF Translator Plugin which converts SysML models to an HSF specific XML format. A SysML model of the HSF test case, Aeolus, was designed. The original Aeolus HSF input script and the translated SysML input script retained the format and dependency structure required by HSF. Both input scripts returned identical results and thus validated the feasibility of linking SysML with HSF through the HSF Translator Plugin. A second SysML model of the Cal Poly CubeSat mission, ExoCube, was also designed and converted into an HSF input script. The ExoCube input script also retained the format and dependency structure required by HSF. This demonstrated that future SysML models can be used in conjunction with the HSF Translator Plugin to create a functional HSF system input script.
