An update was given to the modeling and simulation community on the new
ANSI/AIAA S-119 standard and it's possible financial benefits was given to the
2011 MODSIM conference in Virginia Beach, VA. Slides are available here.
A formal NASA report detailing the results of an assessment of S-119 sponsored
by the NASA Engineering and Safety Center has been released as a two-volume
report; see the Papers page for more information.
July 2011
Version 2.0.2 of the DAVE-ML DTD and reference
manual is now available. This includes some textual changes in the reference
manual (for version 2.0.1) and a slight reordering of the DTD ENTITY
declarations (for version 2.0.2).
March 2011
Version 2.0 of the DAVE-ML DTD and reference
manual is now available.
On March 22, 2011,
the draft AIAA
standard received final publication approval
by the American National Standards Institute. It
is available
for free
download by AIAA members and can be ordered
by others for a nominal fee.
February 2011
On February 18, 2011, the draft AIAA
standard received final approval by the AIAA
Standards Executive Council and will soon be submitted to ANSI.
Updated the Future Plans page to reflect a better
roadmap, thanks to Geoff Brian's coaxing.
Updated the DAVEtools web
page; this Java package for exploring DAVE-ML is available as open source from NASA via
GitHub.
January 2011
The US 1976 Standard Atmosphere is available in
DAVE-ML here.
Version 2, Release candidate 4 of the DTD can be found on the DTD page. Changes are the result of recommendations from
an internal NASA assessment of the draft AIAA
standard (including DAVE-ML) and include mandatory IDs for all defined
tables and support for limiting variable ranges.
December 2010
Second public comment period on the draft AIAA
standard ended Dec. 29. Awaiting news from AIAA on any received comments.
November 2010
Second public comment period on
the draft AIAA
standard opened Nov. 15 and will end Dec. 29. In
this version, DAVE-ML is a reference, not an
included Annex.
October 2010
Added a new utility, ModelSweeper, to the DAVEtools distribution
.jar. Provides ability to view a 3D surface representing an output from a DAVE-ML model
while two inputs are varied; other inputs are held constant.
Also fixed a bug in the DAVEtools parser.
May 2010
Tweak to the reference manual (found on the DTD page).
April 2010
Resubmitted draft standard to AIAA (see AIAA
Standards; moved website from http://daveml.nasa.gov to http://daveml.org.
Uploaded DAVE-ML DTD 2 Release Candidate 3 to DTD page.
February 2010
Revisions to the draft standard, BSR/AIAA S-119, are underway. NASA is considering
the standard for possible internal adoption.
December 2009
Public comments continue to be reviewed and incorporated. Meanwhile, the two Bruces
gave a talk at I/ITSEC on the draft standard, BSR/AIAA S-119.
August 2009
Public comment period on the draft AIAA standard
opened August 3 and ended Sept. 18
June 2009
ANSI notice of project initiation published in 12-Jun-09 ANSI Standards
Action bulletin
Revised draft AIAA
standard now available.
DAVE-ML 2.0 Release Candidate 2, which will be in the draft AIAA standard,
is now available from the DTD page. The reference manual, a 115-page PDF document, is
here; it is also available on-line.
Changes from RC-1 are described here.
June 2008
DAVE-ML paper presented to Royal Aeronautical Society; see papers for a copy
DAVEtools 0.8 is now available as NASA Open Source. It can be
downloaded from this
web site; scroll down and look for 'DAVEtools.'
March 2007
Fixed broken links on AIAA review page; added description of
MathML function extensions to
support atan2 function in upcoming revision to the DAVE-ML DTD.
We've also posted an elevator speech in case someone shares an
elevator with Administrator Griffin.
November 2006
Released a new developmental DTD (1.9b2)
and reference manual with support for quadraticSpline interpolation
and proper MathML2 DTD inclusion; reference manual now includes
ungridded table examples.Updated examples to reflect draft version
1.9 DTD changes.
September 2006
Released a new developmental DTD (1.8b1)
and reference manual with some new standards flags. A paper on
progress towards flight
dynamic models will be presented this
month at
the Simulation
Interoperability
Standards
Organization
(SISO)
Fall 2006 workshop. The paper and presentation are available
here.
August 2006
Presentations from this month's AIAA Modeling and Simulation tutorial are
now on-line. Documents for the M&S Technical
Committee reviewers are now on-line.
Added tools page with link to Janus information.
Updated to-do list.
July 2006
An AERO-ML workshop is planned for next month's AIAA Modeling and Simulation
conference in Keystone, Colorado.
December 2005
A separate Committee on Modeling Standards has been formed by the AIAA;
the initial meeting was December 1 in Orlando in conjunction with I/ITSEC
conference.
October 2005
The Standards subcommittee of the AIAA Modeling and Simulation Technical
Committee is pursuing to have a portion of DAVE-ML, specifically the aero
model application, be published as an AIAA standard. It is tenatively named "AeroML."
August 2005
A two-hour workshop at the 2005 AIAA M&ST conference went into details
