Vortex Studio : CM Labs’ Core Technology
Vortex® Studio serves as a platform for developing and launching real-time, interactive simulations of mechanical systems. It constitutes a vital element in all of CM Labs’ top-tier equipment simulation training packs and can be used for designing and producing personalized real-time, interactive simulation products.
Vortex Studio comprises two packages :
- Vortex Create : visually build real-time mechanical machines and scenarios.
- Vortex Activate : deploy content created in systems ranging from desktop to many-screen custom simulators.
Why Use Vortex Studio?
- Build and deploy real-time, interactive simulations of mechanisms, vehicles, and vessels.
- Validate design through virtual prototyping.
- Solve training needs for complex equipment with a high-fidelity experience.
What Can You Do with Vortex Studio?
Create High Fidelity Digital Twins Without Coding
Imagine creating high-fidelity digital twins in minutes or rapidly developing components for mechanical equipment that demand specific real-time simulation capabilities, particularly for off-road vehicles, cables, and earth-moving investigations.
Vortex Studio's wide range of capabilities can help you:
- Create visually complex, high-fidelity, and real-time mechanical systems without the need for coding
- Utilize physics modules that have been refined over two decades of extensive research and development
- Take advantage of integration plugins compatible with major game engines like Unity and Unreal Engine
- Harness simulation deployment tools proven effective in commercial environments
- Develop virtual models to expedite automation design processes
- Apply vehicle engineering expertise tailored for off-highway vehicles
- Produce synthetic data to train AI models effectively
- Conduct mission planning and optimization for critical operations
Add Simulated Mechanisms to Unity, Unreal Engine or Other Platforms
Using Vortex Create, the Vortex Editor tool can generate simulated mechanical systems that can be exported and integrated into Unity, Unreal Engine, and other engines. These mechanisms and vehicles can be seamlessly linked to game logic, inputs, and outputs, allowing them to move realistically within the virtual environment.
Build Training Simulators
Using Vortex Activate, simulators can run all Vortex Studio content, encompassing simulations from the Intellia Training Packs for construction, utilities, and ports product lines, and custom content developed with Vortex Create.
Create Marketing Simulators
Use Vortex Studio to create marketing simulations, garner exposure for your products at trade shows, or demonstrate product capabilities offsite.
Perform Human-in-the-Loop Testing
Use Vortex Studio to conduct human-in-the-loop testing for vehicles and benefit from comprehensive off-road simulation capabilities.
Key Features
Vortex Create Key Features
The Vortex Create package allows you to:
