What is HLA raised to the power of DDS?

SimWare Frameworkthe full simulation

What is SimWare?Three main pillars

SimWare: creating simulators

SimWare is a simulation framework for creating new simulators from scratch

• Create new simulators without seeing any code• Care only about data model• Simulation backbone is DDS

HLA data model

MULATION

Modeler is the tool for modelling data HLA-Style Objetcs and interactions HLA data types

Data models can be saved and loaded The tool generates the data library automatically

1. Modeler: Data modeling from the FOM

MULATION

Modeler has three outputs: Library (DLL or SO) representing data

Integrated in NCWare SIM XML data for GPGUI: For controlling simulation XML data for SimDeveloper: For inputs&outputs of the

simulation models

Output of the Modeler: Library in DDS

Based on Matlab/Simulink for making your simulation models inside SimWare framework

Build your simulation modules with all the power of Matlab/Simulink Test your simulation logic Reuse your simulation modules

2. SimDeveloper: Simulation models you can really reuse

You don´t need programming skills!

Recipe for success

1. Create model in Mathlab2. Add the data interface (xml) created with Modeler3. Create a library (dll or so)4. Modify configuration file5. Control it from SimEngine

Output of SimDeveloper: Simulation models and services

We just need to add three elements

1. Publishers and subscribers2. Methods for control of

state machine (using DDS)3. Methods for creating

multiple instances

No programming skills are needed!!!

HLA

DDS

DIS

HLA PITCH federationHLA Mäk federation

3. Simware PowerLink: Data bridge made easy

Output of PowerLink: Gateways

4. NcWare SIM: Simple but powerful API

ncware::Simulation =ncware::SimFactory::createSimulation("1","airplane", ncware::TransportType::DDS_OPENSPLICE );

SimWare: managing simulators

SimWare is a simulation framework for managing new simulators and old simulators in joint simulation

• Manage your new simulator

• Control the instances of the simulation

• Manage old simulators in joint simulations

Configuration file

ACS

1. eHost: Simulation management

Scheduler: Is an advanced scheduler for controlling the real time clock and the state machine. It coordinates and balances many Simulation Engines that are in different nodes.

Simulation Engines: Are the simulation engines, manage the Simulation modules in each simulation node.

Key element of ehost: Configuration file

Scheduler reads the file- Send data to SimEngine: Know what models to load- Send data to ACS: Know what panels to use for create instances- Send tick time during runtime

Sections of the file

- Frequency of simulation

- Configuration/layout of simulation

- Panels for ACS

- Other information:- Models that create models- Info for specific COTS data

representation

ACS—Application to Control SimWare simulations, is a GUI that allows to manage SimWare state machine and simulation assets’ parameters during execution

2. ACS: Application to Control Simulations

SimWare: joint simulationsWith SimWare you can manage joint simulator of existing HLA and DIS simulators

• Connect and control

• DIS• Pitch HLA• Mäk HLA• DDS

• Add DDS live simulations
