Simulating a system and controlling it with LabVIEW [Question]

[fukimo]

I need to design and implement a benchmark for a VTOL system with 1 DOF (Only the roll is considered) and control it with LabVIEW. Is there any simulation tools or softwares that I can use to simulte such a system and establish a communication between it and LabVIEW?

The chance for a positive answer is higher if you would explain terms like VTOL and DOF to those not involved in your professional work space.

LabVIEW is a full feature programming language, so you can do anything. For example, you could create a subVI that runs in parallel and implements the physics based on all settings, then communicate with it using e.g. an action engine. What are the timing requirements?

The model would report the current angle while the controller would read the angle and return control parameters based on e.g. PID. Wash, rinse, repeat.

I'm assuming "roll" is flight motion (along with pitch and yaw) so VTOL would be a Vertical TakeOff and Landing (like a Harrier Jumpjet).  DOF would then be Degree Of Freedom so pitch and yaw are not controlled in this scenario.

Just guessing though.  Our industry does have an issue with T.M.A.  (Too Many Acronyms) 😃
