When a new store is integrated with an aircraft, it is necessary to verify that it separates safely for all possible release and emergency jettison scenarios. A large number of separation analyses are required to comply with this requirement. This paper describes the development of an automated analysis process and software that can run a "script" of separation scenarios. A key enabler for this software is the development of a quantitative separation-grading algorithm that scores the outcome of each release against clearly defined criteria. The application of this software to the release/jettison dynamics of a typical aircraft/store is described.
