A powerful tool for automatic validation of a Modelica library for electromechanical actuation systems for primary flight controls

Validation process aims at verifying requirements, specifications and behaviour of the final product. The procedure, outlined in this paper, has been defined to assess the library developed during ACTUATION2015 research project whose components are focused on the simulation of electromechanical actuation systems applied to aeronautic field. Therefore the validation procedure is presented with references to the experience and knowledge acquired during that project. A Modelica based validation tool has been developed to automate the process and manage the components testing independently from their physical domain (e.g. Electrical, Mechanical, etc). The functions composing the validation library are discussed in the paper and significant examples are presented.
