Simulation Content Creation

VR-Forces is an excellent application for creating and running scenario-based simulations. Its graphical user interface makes it easy to create, run, and modify scenarios. Along with VR-Vantage, it has a representative set of high quality entity models, and terrain agility features that allow you to use a wide variety of available terrain data. However, no application can be all things to all people, and while it is easy enough to add new content, such as new models and terrains, you still have to create that content. VT MÄK’s simulation content creation services can help.

Scenario Development

Do I need to load-balance? How do I write plans for lots of entities? Why don’t the entities do what I want them to do? Is this a realistic scenario? Our VR-Forces experts can help you shorten the learning curve and get a jump on your scenario development. They know all the tips, tricks, and gotchas.

Behavior Modeling

VR-Forces entities have some basic built-in behaviors, such as obstacle avoidance. The B-HAVE Module adds additional intelligence to movement behaviors, particularly for life forms. If you need more complex behaviors, either directly in VR-Forces, by modifying B-HAVE, or directly in Kynapse for Simulation, we can help.

Dynamics Modeling

VR-Forces models entity movement at a level that is sufficient for general purpose simulations. If your simulation requires higher fidelity models we can create them to your specifications or consult with you on the best approaches to take to develop them and fully integrate them with VR-Forces. We can also help you ensure that your own simulators operate at the expected level of fidelity. For example, we have used RotorLib and FixedWingLib from RT Dynamics to implement high-fidelity trainers.

Sensor Modeling

VR-Forces uses a fairly simplistic sensor model based largely on distance and line-of-sight. It does not take into account variables such as the strength of the sensor or material characteristics of objects being sensed. If you need more complex sensor models, we can develop them for you.

3D Graphics Modeling

VR-Forces and VR-Vantage come with a rich set of military vehicles, civilian models, and environmental objects (buildings, street lights, signage, and other cultural objects). However, your simulations may require models specific to a particular military organization or civilian domain. We can provide the 3D models that you require to ensure the realism of your simulations. We can provide vehicle models, DI-Guy characters and animations, and stationary objects such as buildings.

Terrain Database Generation

MÄK can help you build the terrain database that meets your project’s needs. We can help you optimize your terrain to maximize performance in both visual and simulation applications. Our terrain database generation team also has expertise developing terrains that take full advantage of B-HAVE functionality using Artificial Intelligence PathData. We can assist you in developing everything from highly detailed building interiors to full world coverage and even help implement streaming terrain solutions.
