CMLabs completes ROV Simulator based on Vortex
CMLabs
Simulations Inc., has announced the completion of a major project —
a deep sea remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Training Simulator for Perry Slingsby
Systems, the world’s leading supplier of remotely operated technologies to the offshore
industry.
The ROV
training simulator was built using Vortex, a toolkit for modeling vehicles,
machines and robots for real-time, interactive simulations. The toolkit is
based on unique intellectual property that enables validatable, high fidelity computer-based
training and virtual product testing with both interacting simulations of
vehicles, rigid and flexible bodies, gases, fluids and much more.
The simulator
provides for operator training in an underwater ROV interacting within its environment
including the sea bottom, current effects, cables and a variety of supporting artifacts.
CMLabs'
professional services team provides expertise in building, validating and
maintaining advanced dynamics applications and providing integration between
hardware and software. CMLabs combined product offering and consulting
expertise accelerates time to market while lowering total costs thereby
leveraging first mover advantages. As a uniquely experienced project team able
to produce physics-based modeling tools to the visualization and simulation
industry, we are proud of our reputation for delivering projects on-time, on
budget and within specifications, at the highest level of quality.
Announcements
- CMLabs was presented with Military Training Technology's "Up and Coming"
Award to recognize accelerated growth in the military training industry. Military Training
Technology presents its awards to the TOP 100 annually. CMLabs' Director of
Sales and Marketing, Mike Reardon said, "CMLabs is proud to be recognized as
one of the premier companies in the military training industry by Kerrigan
Media. This acknowledgement reflects on CMLabs' continuing innovation and
benefits we are delivering to our clients in the military and defense
industry."
- CMLabs recently presented its Tower Crane operator simulator at The International Union
of Operating Engineers (IUOE) training conference in Long Beach, California to
enthusiastic response.Experienced
crane operators, and even competitors, were awestruck at the realism of CMLabs'
simulation technology. Our sales team looks forward to building on the growing
client base in this important and growing market. For partnership information,
please contact Mike Reardon at +514-287-1166 (234). For more

Feature
Immersive
Technologies, based in Australia,
is the leading provider of advanced
training simulator technologies that reduce risk and improve operational
efficiency for defense forces, air rescue fire fighting operations and mining and earthmoving operations.
Given the
demanding nature of these systems and the requirement for realism, Immersive
Technologies quickly recognized the need to be able to model fast and accurate
vehicle and machine dynamics. They also realized that building their own motion
models was not an option. "Having analyzed what was involved in building our
own reusable physics engine, we understood the requirements and complexities
involved. From the moment we evaluated Vortex, it was obvious that many
man-years of development and testing
had gone into the software," Bradley Eatt, Acting Software Manager.
They
selected Vortex as the development platform on which they would model their
vehicles and machinery. The team was able to quickly and efficiently build the
required dynamics and interactive behaviors of the machinery. They benefited
from a full feature set including physically accurate vehicle dynamics,
collision detection and force reaction.
This
left the team free to concentrate on other elements important to the overall
training experience. "Incorporating
Vortex into our own simulation software removed the burden of having to create
our own engine, and leaves our developers free to focus on domain specific
aspects of the simulators," stated Eatt.
Immersive
Technologies has been using Vortex since 2002 and has developed numerous
high-fidelity training simulators using the software. Eatt concluded, "Over the
course of our development, Vortex has proven itself as a reliable foundation
upon which we can build our complex simulation systems."
