Vortex Studio Advantages

  1. Create without coding : Use Vortex Editor to generate digital twins or components of mechanical machinery during investigations that demand real-time mechanical simulation, especially for off-road vehicles, cables, and earthworks scenarios. Enhance the models with mechanical logic and conduct validation tests using Python 3 scripting.
  2. Use Unity, Unreal Engine or other 3rd party platforms : Simulated mechanical systems have the capability to seamlessly integrate with Unity, Unreal Engine, and various other engines. These systems encompass mechanisms and vehicles that can be effortlessly linked to game scenario inputs and outputs, enabling them to move organically within the virtual environment.
  1. Build Training Simulators : Simulators or desktop simulation applications have the capability to execute any Vortex content. This encompasses all simulations offered in the Vortex simulator product lines, along with any personalized content users generate. Vortex Studio offers comprehensive visual system configuration, covering computer topology, screen positioning, and mapping of hardware device controls.
  1. Create Marketing Simulators : Vortex Studio enables the creation of marketing simulators to showcase products at trade shows or demonstrate product capabilities remotely. It offers support for distributed synchronous multi-node rendering and user input interfaces, providing a fully immersive simulation environment.
  1. Perform Human and Hardware in the Loop Testing : Vortex Studio enables human-in-the-loop testing for vehicles and provides comprehensive off-road simulation capabilities. It also offers support for various integrations such as Simulink, ROS2, OPC, and CANOpen.
