The main engineering scenarios that require store/external-load separation verification, and how CFTools addresses each one:
When integrating a new store or external tank onto a platform, the separation behavior must be numerically verified before flight. CFTools brings this verification together in a single package, from 6-DOF solving to Monte Carlo risk analysis, speeding up engineering teams' pre-certification preparation.
Solves a 6-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) dynamic simulation from your aerodynamic database, computing the separating body's position and attitude changes over time, and lets you compare the results with wind tunnel or flight test reference data.
Models sources of uncertainty in aerodynamic coefficients, mass/inertia properties, and initial conditions to generate a large number of runs, derives the risk distribution, and automatically flags critical runs close to the safe clearance boundary — making large-volume scenario sweeps far faster than manual review.
Shows the wing/pylon and store geometry in a real 3D scene, with time-based animation and reference trajectories, producing visual output usable directly in design review meetings and certification reports.
Derives the store's possible position set (convex hull), visualizes safe/unsafe runs against a defined safe clearance threshold, and helps eliminate configurations with collision risk against the carrier platform at an early stage.
A defense industry engineering team wants to integrate a newly developed guided store onto an existing platform. The team first runs a 6-DOF sweep across a wide flight envelope (altitude, speed, angle of attack) with CFTools, then uses Monte Carlo risk analysis to model mass/inertia tolerances and aerodynamic uncertainty, identifying critical configurations in advance. This early screening clarifies which configurations the physical test campaign should focus on and shortens pre-certification preparation.
