About the assignment
The overall goal of the assignment is to learn the modelling of a dynamic system as well as simulate and optimize the behavior of the dynamic system using the model constructed. In the assignment, the dynamic system under consideration is a glider. The goal is to find the optimal controls of the glider that lead to the maximization of flight distance in windless and thermal conditions. The dynamic optimization problem is solved numerically by converting it into a nonlinear optimization problem that is solved with Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP). Matlab and its Optimization Toolbox are used in the assignment. The assignment can be completed with any Matlab which has the Optimization Toolbox installed. All Aalto's computers in public use should fulfill these requirements. You can also download Matlab for your own computer, instructions can be found here.
The deadline for the assignment is Friday 21.10.2022 at 18:00.
Reception
The course assistant has a reception every Wednesday at 14:15 in classroom Y344 starting on 14.9.2022. The assistant will help you on any problems and/or question you encounter regarding the assignment or the usage of Matlab. If no one arrives to the reception in the first 30 minutes, the assistant may leave.If you can't attend the weekly reception and need help, contact the assistant via e-mail.Instructions, MATLAB-files, and supplementary material
The assignment instructions are available in English. The MATLAB-files needed to complete the assignment are also located on this page. There is also a package of supplementary material available.
