ECSS-E-ST-40-08C – Simulation modelling platform – Level 2 (5 August 2025)

Scope

ECSS-E-ST-40-08 is a standard based on ECSS-E-ST-40 for the engineering of artefacts used to instantiate and to configure simulators.

ECSS-E-ST-40-08 complements ECSS-E-ST-40 and ECSS-E-ST-40-07 in being more specific to simulator artefacts for integration. Simulator artefacts include assembly, schedule and link base files. The standard enables the effective reuse of these artefacts within and between space projects and their stakeholders. In particular, the standard supports assemblies, schedules and link bases reuse across different simulation environments and exchange between different organizations and missions.

ECSS-E-ST-40-08 allows:

  • to instantiate and to configure elements defined in ECSS-E-ST-40-07, which are namely the simulation model (including thus its sub-components and related configuration values and interfaces), the simulation events and their scheduling.
  • to define connections or links between simulation models.
  • to define a standard application process of the artefacts at start-up of a simulator compliant to ECSS-E-ST-40-07.

This standard can be used as an additional standard to ECSS-E-ST-40 and ECSS-E-ST-40-07 providing the additional requirements which are specific to simulator software integration.

This standard may be tailored for the specific characteristic and constrains of a space project in conformance with ECSS-S-ST-00.
