CM Labs Simulations, Inc. announced the upcoming release of a new integration—Vortex Studio for Unreal Engine—connecting Vortex Studio and Unreal Engine.
Available in December 2019, the free software integrationdeveloped by CM Labs will allow developers to publish and connect simulationsbuilt in Vortex Studio with an Unreal Engine workflow. This makes an interoperabletoolkit for those integrators and design teams looking to develop simulationsfor applications; such as virtual prototyping, driver-in-the-loop testing,operator training, and simulation-based training of AI.
“The integration withVortex Studio connects the best of both worlds. It allows for a seamlessintegration of Vortex Studio’s high-fidelity simulation toolset and UnrealEngine,” said Sébastien Lozé, Industry Manager, Simulations at Epic Games. “CMLabs has provided a way for engineers and simulation experts to easily combinethe tools needed to generate high-quality, high-fidelity machine system levelsimulations with operational scenarios built in Unreal Engine.”
In particular, the Vortex Studio and Unreal Engineintegration allows development teams to take full advantage of the rich visualand scenario development pipeline of Unreal Engine with a workflow thatsupports mechanical and systems engineers in order to: build and test vehicleand equipment in real time multi-body simulations; integratehardware-in-the-loop, such as control systems, motion, haptics, etc; connect inreal time to model-based systems engineering tools such as Matlab Simulink; andbuild, validate, and optimize simulation performance through the editor andremote debugger interfaces.
To highlight the advantages of combining the two platformsfor simulation-based training purposes, CM Labs has constructed a combinedVortex Studio and Unreal Engine-based virtual reality driver-trainer that willbe on display at I/ITSEC 2019, taking place from December 2-6 in Orlando, Floridaon the Epic Games booth, #2161.
This multi-sensory simulator (visuals, motion, haptic, andauditory feedback) features a fast-paced, military-themed exfiltrationscenario. Drivers will have the opportunity to engage a Ricardo US Army FEDALPHA vehicle in a series of maneuvers that highlight Vortex Studio’s featureset. The vehicle simulation was developed and validated as part of the NATONext-Generation Reference Mobility Model project. It demonstrates howhigh-fidelity, validated models can now be the standard for driver training,resulting in learning outcomes and soldier preparedness.
