Process for creating a library of algorithmic representations of electronic equipment

#The invention pertains to the general field of simulation. More particularly, it relates to the simulation of vehicle operation, as used in, for example, flight simulators.

#In the aeronautical field, simulators of aircraft operation have been used for many years, as much for pilots to familiarize themselves with the layout of the cockpit of a new aircraft and the behavior of the equipment of the aircraft during their actions in this cockpit as for the initial development of the aircraft.

#Such simulators should be extremely faithful to the operation of the simulated aircraft, which actually consists of a set of thousands of pieces of equipment connected together.

#The objects and advantages of the invention will be better understood from reading the description and drawings of a particular embodiment, provided by way of nonlimiting example, and for which the drawings show:

#FIG. 1: An example of the wiring board that is extracted from the wiring database

#FIG. 2: The stages for creating the semi-equipment library

#Hereinafter, all of the components such as the computers, engines, hydraulic components, etc., of the aircraft are called pieces of equipment.

#In contrast, the pieces of semi-equipment are the ‘basic’ components that make the link between these various pieces of equipment. To cite some of them: relays, switches, circuit breakers for the electric portion of the aircraft.

#These pieces of semi-equipment each have particular characteristics of behavior and are the key elements for interconnection between the different parts of the aircraft system.
