Theumerical Propulsion System Simulator (�PSS) is an engineering systems tool that has been tackling key technology barriers of high fidelity simulation for over a decade. AVETeC, a non#profit organization pursuing the deve lopment of an advanced virtual engineering environment, contracted withASA to further extend the capabilities ofPSS that were demonstrated by Turner, et al (ref. 1). This report documents research findings under this contract. The first, coupled#component, full engine simulation was achieved. The techniques employed to perform these simulations and the results are detailed. In general, the full engine simulations matched baseline (experimental) data to within a few percent for most system parameters.
