This study investigated and demonstrated a simulation framework that can be used to evaluate automated flight functions. The framework coupled Siemens Simcenter® software with the ROS-framework and hence can interact with its toolboxes. Multiple scenarios with the PX4-Avoidance algorithm were simulated in order to evaluate the functioning of the framework.
