MÄK GIS-to-SIM brings the power of simulation networking protocols to ESRI’s ArcGIS Geographic Information System (GIS) software suite. Now you can embed native support for Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS), High Level Architecture (HLA), or Test and Training Enabling Architecture (TENA)* into your ArcGIS development. The seamless integrations of GIS-to-SIM and ArcGIS eliminates the divide between the simulation and operational domains.

ArcGIS is the premier solution for creating and deploying intelligent geographic applications. It provides the foundation for the next-generation C4I systems and it is becoming a preferred framework for providing geographic visualization and analysis for modeling and simulation applications. GIS-to-SIM is based on VR-Link®, MÄK’s industry-leading toolkit for simulation networking applications. GIS-to-SIM combines the advantages of both tools by wrapping and extending the functionality of VR-Link within the development architecture of the ArcGIS framework. GIS-to-SIM’s powerful, easy-to-use API, backed by expert technical support, reduces the risk, cost, and time necessary to enable ArcGIS-based applications to be fully DIS-, HLA-, or TENA- compliant to visualize simulated data.

MÄK GIS-to-SIM provides an ideal foundation for development of ArcGIS-based simulation or operational applications. It enables bi-directional communication between your ArcGIS application and DIS, HLA, or TENA applications. With GIS-to-SIM you can also visualize real-time data as rapidly updating symbology within an ArcMap®, or as dynamic 3D models within ArcGlobe®.

GIS-to-SIM saves development dollars by providing a single documented programming interface that abstracts away details of DIS, HLA, or TENA networking. The interface, comprised of underlying ArcObjects, seamlessly integrates with other ArcGIS Engine components. These components supply the building blocks to provide native support for the simulation interoperability standards. They enable visualization of simulated objects and interactions, and provide higher-level GUI components for viewing and configuring simulation-specific functionality.

* TENA capability available as a separate add-on module.
