This paper aims to propose a spreadsheet method for modeling and simulation of a retraction system mechanism for the retractable self-launching system for a high-performance glider.

    Design/methodology/approach

    More precisely, the method is based on parametric link design using Excel spreadsheets.

    Findings

    This method can be used for kinematic and dynamic analysis, graphical plotting and allows simulation of control kinematics with the ability to make quick and easy parametric changes to a design. It also has the ability to calculate the loads imposed on each component in the control system as a function of input loads and position.

    Practical implications

    This paper shows that it is possible to model complex control systems quickly and easily using spreadsheet programs already owned by most small companies. The spreadsheet model is a parametric model, and it gives a simple visual presentation of the control system with interactive movement and control by the user.

    Originality/value

    This spreadsheet model in conjunction with a simple CAD program enables the rapid and cost-effective development of control system components.
