Computer-Aided design system for on-board SpaceWire networks simulation and design

Abstract

The paper provides an analysis of existing simulation tools for the on-board and local area networks. We overview the main abilities of the existing software and then propose the computer-aided design (CAD) system for SpaceWire onboard networks design and simulation. This CAD system will support the full on-board network design and simulation flow, which begins from the network topology automated generation and finishes with getting the simulation results and statistics.
