Vortex Studio Editor
Vortex® Studio Editor is a desktop-based editing tool built around Vortex, and provides a means for the rapid creation and modification of mechanisms and scenes.
Vortex Studio Editor provides access to major Vortex Dynamics API through a point-and-click graphical user interface. In addition, it also includes live testing and validation capabilities to edit mechanisms while running the simulation to see behavior and changes immediately, without having to run an external application. Vortex Studio Editor includes by default all Vortex Dynamics Developer Features, Cable Systems, Vehicle Systems and Earthwork Systems.
Adding Extensions
This section describes how to extend and add additional functionality by using the built in extensions.Configuration Object
This section describes how to configure objects that stores a set of desired, non-default values for other objects in a mechanism or scene.
Connection Editor
Connections are mappings between parameters that are internal to Vortex® and parameters that are piped into Vortex through an extension.Control Interface
This section describes how to enhance your simulation with predefined device systems.
DirectX Support in Vortex Editor - Tech Preview
For users with non NVIDIA graphics hardware, DirectX technology has been introduced into Vortex Studio. Mechanical design workflows are the only supported use cases at this time.Editor Setup
