03 / Independent engineering software
Make assumptions visible. Make experiments repeatable.
A six-degree-of-freedom simulation workspace for vehicle motion, sensor faults, estimator experiments, and telemetry review.
01 / Context
Dynamics, sensor, and estimator scripts become difficult to compare when their assumptions and scenario setup are scattered. An engineering experiment needs a repeatable starting point and a clear trail from configuration to results.
02 / Ownership
I built a simulation workspace that brings scenario definitions, dynamics and sensor models, event logs, reports, and 3D replay into one workflow. Companion projects explore navigation filters and early design trade spaces.
03 / Architecture
Choose the scenario, initial conditions, model assumptions, disturbances, and faults.
Propagate position and orientation through dynamics, actuator, and sensor models.
Review generated telemetry, event logs, plots, and a synchronized replay.
Use repeatable scenarios to explore estimator robustness and changes in assumptions.
04 / Validation
Software simulation with simplified models. Generated telemetry is not flight data; this is not a flight-qualified or independently validated engineering tool.
05 / Perspective
A simulation is most useful when its assumptions and limits are easy to inspect. Repeatability and diagnostics let a reviewer explain a result rather than relying only on a compelling animation.
