ITEC 2019: CM Labs releases latest Vortex Studio
Shephard Media
One key element of the latest version of Vortex Studio is what the company refers to as ‘Solver Enhancements’ that are designed to enhance performance and reduce development time.
‘The new solver produces significant improvements to simulations; in some cases, we’re seeing a 50% reduction in processing time,’ explained Marc-Alexandre Vezina, CM Labs’ product manager for Vortex Studio. ‘Users will notice this in large scenes with many rigid bodies. For example, in a port with hundreds of simulated shipping containers, you can dedicate computing resources to keeping vehicles running smoothly without the slowdowns typically caused by complex scene interactions.’
Another benefit from the solver solution is a reduction in system memory that leads to improved dynamics performance. Improvements have also been made to the product’s sensor library.
CM Labs builds simulation-based solutions to help clients design advanced equipment and prepare for skilled operations. Through its Vortex Studio platform, CM Labs provides capabilities for training simulators, mission rehearsal, virtual prototyping, and testing.
For more than 20 years, CM Labs’ Vortex Simulators have helped train equipment operators in port, maritime, and offshore environments all over the world. In the past few years alone, the Port of Tilbury, Flinders Adelaide Container Terminal, Indonesian Port Corporation, Napier Port, Ports of Auckland, multiple DP World sites, and the Pacific Maritime Association (USA) have chosen Vortex simulators to improve operational safety and efficiency.
