Launch CEASIOM
run matlab set the current folder to the CEASIOM root folder Type CEASIOM in the matlab command window
Start a new project

Choose Start a new project
Select the default Project folder as the parent folder for your project
Give a project title and a version title to your project
Select the baseline of the model: (ranger2000.xml for this tutorial)
After this window appeared, click on menu:
Choose AcBuilder (Aircraft Builder) and click ok:
The aircraft builder module: AcBuilder

after selecting AcBuilder, this module is automatically loaded with current project
By default, the project is called model.xml (project name is displayed in the window title). You can import and export xml models in the project menu. Check the Components you want in the Components list (Fuselage is mandatory)
Green hightlight refers to parameters computed from other ones. This cannot be edited. Blue hightlight refers to combined parameters, editable inside a GUI
Edit if needed the selected component (i.e. Engines1 for example) in the Parameters field.
Most of the fields are defined and described in the CEASIOM-xmlFileDefinition.pdf document, available in the Documentation folder Once the components are well selected and defined, select Geometry => Fuel
Here you can see and modify the fuel tank parameters and the wingbox parameters.
Then, select Geometry => Geometry (output)
The GEO module computation results are displayed for the different wings and tails. These results are not editable. Now, select Weights & Balance => Weights & Balance
Here you must define the cabin type. The optional parameters will be automatically computed at the call of Centers of gravity 7 / 23 www.ceasiom.com
Then, select Weights & Balance => Centers of gravity
The centers of gravity of the aircraft components are display. At this point, select Technology => Technology
Here you can define the geometry parameters and others, needed in the Aeroelastic module NeoCASS
Now, go back to Weights & Balance => Weights & Balance
Look at the System weights (optional 2) parameters. If the MTOW (Maximum Take Off Weight) equals 0 kg, run Weights & Balance => Centers of gravity once again. Once this field is computed, you can save your model and go on to the next module AMB. Save your project: Project => Export XML
Select a name for you xml file and save
Select Project => Close window and click Yes
The Aerodynamic Model Builder module: AMB

Click on Menu, select AMB and validate by clicking on ok
Choose the xml file you want to open. The default choice is the last saved file (here: afterAcbuilder.xml)
The AMB GUI is loaded
Verify the Ref. Data, coming from AcBuilder, in the right bottom. Then, click on States
Edit the minimum, maximum and the number of values you want in the aerodynamic database Click on Tables to generate the table
Click on Model and select the Flight Dynamic Model and the Geometry Symmetry Plane
Click on Aerofoils to list and edit the airfoils used in the model
Click on GEO LAYOUT to update the layout at the top left side Click on GEO DATCOM to run datcom ac3view
Click on GEO TORNADO to run and display the Tornado geometry layout
At this point (8 green buttons at the top right side), you can generate an aerodynamic database, using datcom, tornado or edge. Datcom is used in this tutorial. Click on Datcom solver
Select the Flap type of Elevator and Rudder, and click on Run When the computation is over, the DATCOM button turns green:
Save your model and give it a new name (afterAMB.xml for example):
Close the AMB GUI
The Propulsion module: Propulsion

Click on Menu, select Propulsion and validate by clicking on ok Choose the xml file you want to open. The default choice is the last saved file (here: afterAMB.xml) The Propulsion GUI is loaded
Edit the parameters if needed and click on Run: the propulsion database is generated
Save your model and give it a new name (afterPropulsion.xml for example):
Close the Propulsion GUI
The Simulation and Dynamic Stability Analyser module: SDSA
An exhaustive presentation of SDSA is available in the Documentation/SDSA/ Click on Menu, select SDSA and validate by clicking on ok Choose the xml file you want to open. The default choice is the last saved file (here: afterPropulsion.xml) Select AMB_SDSA to analyze a database generated with AMB
Select Datcom to analyze a database generated in AMB with Datcom
The SDSA GUI is loaded:
Select Aircraft => Aerodynamic data 20 / 23 www.ceasiom.com
An information box appears and the Aero data report is displayed
The aerodynamic data are listed and can be plotted
Select Stabilty => Eigenvalues
Edit altitude and airspeed parameters if needed and click on START stability analysis
Eigenvalues are displayed
