System Integrator Guide

A Vortex simulator is composed of applications (SimApp) running on the same or different computers and communicating together through a common network channel.

Each SimApp runs a node of the simulation, e.g., the dynamics engine (solver), the operator console (user interface), or a rendering window (graphics engine). Each node is therefore associated to a process; several processes can run on the same computer.

For example, the Vortex Studio Player local simulator runs the three SimApps on the same local machine.

The setup document defines the nodes of the simulator, and the simulator file defines all running applications and their machines.

Open

On each computer, a Vortex Service runs whose responsibility it is to start and monitor SimApps.

The Director communicates with each Vortex Service to configure and monitor the started applications.

Control Mapping

This section describes how to make the link between your devices and your mechanisms.

Displays and Viewpoints

This section provides use case examples of displays and viewpoints in order to familiarize the user with how to set up these elements in their own configurations.

Legacy Student Database (MongoDB)

The Student Database is a Mongo database that is used to store student information and their training sessions.

Legacy Vortex Console

This topic describes the Vortex Console user interface that lets your users run simulation content and visualize metrics.

Localization - Translating a Simulator into a New Language

You can translate your simulator into a new language by adding a language for the multi-language Vortex Console application.

Packaging and Deployment User Guide

Understand how to deploy Vortex Studio binaries and content packages.

Simulator Setup User Guide

A setup document (VXC extension) allows you to set up or configure a Vortex application without doing it all manually in code.
