This paper discusses the typical engineering workflow of an aircraft hydraulic actuator development - enhanced using the new Modelon Impact environment. Modelon Impact enables having a more collaborative development and digitally more continuous as well as a better spreading of the final model through dedicated apps. In order to cover the scope of the design workflow, several steps are discussed: - specifying the system requirements through test scenarios, - sizing the system based on steady-state design points, - performing design verification based on dynamic scenarios, - re-using the sized parameters for simulation of the model, - switching model fidelity conserving the same interfaces and relevant parameters and - exporting the model using the Functional Mock-Up standard – for example, for co-simulation with flight control laws.
