At present, only one major element of DAVE-ML has been defined: the
function definition element, or DAVEfunc. DAVEfunc is
used to describe static models such as aerodynamic and inertia/mass models, where an internal
state is not included. Static check-cases can also be provided for verification of proper
implementation.
Other major elements are envisioned to describe dynamic portions of the vehicle model (such as propulsion, landing gear, control systems, etc.) and dynamic check-case (time history) data. Ultimately DAVE-ML should be capable of describing a complete flight-dynamics model with sufficient data to validate the proper implementation thereof.
