Accelerometer Models Extended: package with the framework to simulate accelerometers for space-based missions, from GRACE-like to after LISA.
\ No newline at end of file
Accelerometer Models Extended: is a MATLAB/Simulink toolbox designed to model and simulate accelerometers. You can use it as a workbench for your accelerometer model alone, or integrate with XHPS for in-flight simulation.
This toolbox is intended to simulate a variety of accelerometer types, with different geometries, sensor technology, actuation schemes, and so on. Hence, it is modular and parametric.
All blocks are in the library (`libAcme.slx`), to use it, drag to your project and then use the appropriate setter function to initialize its parameters.
## Requirements
Matlab 2021a
XHPS 2022 (Optional)
## Features
The blocks implemented so far will allow you to model a 1DoF GRACE-like ACC, with capacitive sensing and electrostatic actuation. Furthermore:
* parameters accessible from script;
* noise generation from ASD expression;
* compatibility with XHPS for in-flight simulation;
Please follow the tutorials to check its features.
Let me know of any bugs, questions and suggestions.
## Proposed Features
A proof of concept of the workflow presented in fig. 2 was developed, comparing monthly gravity field solutions produced by combining different satellite formations and accelerometers (toy model). The modules to reproduce a GRACE-like ACC model were also developed. In addition, the toolbox was able to run in sync with XHPS.
