Virtual Satellite 4 is the new evolution of MBSE. With a customizable data model it can be tailored to the various needs of individual engineering tasks and project requirements. Rather than the historic approach of trying to create the data model and system engineering language that can handle all possible tasks, the new approach focuses on necessities leading to simple and easy to use applications. The data model of a Virtual Satellite 4 application can be extended by a concept. Such a concept is a set of data model extensions plus functionality to provide corresponding user interfaces and further functionality.
Virtual Satellite is based on Java / Eclipse and provides an installable feature with plug-ins for your personal eclipse IDE. The following infrastructure is required:
- Java Development Kit (JDK) 8
- Eclipse Oxygen or newer
- Including Checkstyle
- Including Spotbugs
- Including M2E
- Maven 3
- Windows 7 or Linux Computer
- Open your Eclipse and switch to the Git Perspective.
- Clone this repository.
- Import all projects and working-sets via the ProjectSet file in de.dlr.sc.virsat/projectSet
- Execute the Virtual Satellite build from de.dlr.sc.virsat/launchers
- Inspect the build artifacts for the p2 repository in de.dlr.sc.virsat.p2updatesite/target
Tarvis CI is set-up to start a build job for every branch and every new commit to the repository. It executes all relevant tests such as jUnit, SWTBot, Checkstyle, SpotBugs, etc. Making a successful pull-request into development requires all tests to pass.
Starting a Travis CI job on development or integration deploys all relevant artifacts.
For creating a new release, create a tag starting with Release_ on the master branch. All artifacts are automatically deployed.
- Early Phase System Decomposition
- Budgeting of Mass, Power, Temperature, Data rates, etc.
Deployments are done using GitHub Releases as well as sourceforge:
We are happy to receive your contributions. Nevertheless in such a big project there is a lot to respect and to obey. One thing to respect are legal requirements such as authorship rights and privacy protection. Therefore, before we can accept your contributions we need you to sign our Contributor License Agreement (CLA).
Please follow the process described in Virtual Satellite 4 - Core to become an authorized contributor.
Once you are an authorized committer feel free to contribute. We will not activate your account within our organization. Therefore use Pull-Requests to contribute:
- Create your own fork of the project.
- Apply your changes.
- Create a pull-request of your change to our development branch.
To increase chance that we accept your pull-request, make sure all tests are working. The best indicator is the Travis CI job. Next we will review your pull-request, give comments and maybe accept it.
