SOFTWARE

Vortex for Vega Prime adds simulation of ground vehicles, robotics and heavy equipment to Vega Prime™ from Presagis. Vortex extends Vega Prime with a rich toolset for creating interactive, high-fidelity and real-time physics-based motion simulation. It features full Vega Prime integration plus a LynX Prime™ user interface.

Physics-based Motion for Vega Prime

Vortex for Vega Prime provides a complete physics-based dynamics extension for Vega Prime. Fully integrated with the Vega Prime API, it enables simulation developers to incorporate high-fidelity Vortex objects and vehicles into operator training, mission rehearsal, virtual prototyping and other real-world simulations. The powerful and flexible Vortex for Vega Prime models and simulates complex systems of rigid bodies, including fast collision detection/response, rich joint and constraint libraries, and comprehensive vehicle dynamics. Application developers can quickly create gears, motors, suspension models, hydraulics, wheels or tracks and other components, and easily assemble them into vehicles or machines that move and behave correctly.

Seamless Vega Prime Integration

Optimized for Vega Prime simulations of wheeled and tracked ground vehicles, articulated machinery, robotics and heavy equipment, Vortex for Vega Prime supports full workflow integration within the Vega Prime environment, including dynamic modifications at runtime through the API. Developers can easily create Vortex vehicles and objects within Vega Prime – often without coding – and they can add and edit physics properties at runtime with no penalty or CPU overhead. The time-saving Vortex for Vega Prime automatically updates positions and orientations in the Vega Scene Graph. Major Vortex for Vega Prime features include:

• A LynX Prime GUI for rapid Vortex simulation development, testing and optimization
• Seamless integration of the Vortex Core and VxVehicles modules
• Wide range of Vortex tutorials and sample dynamic objects (sensor, kinematic, and dynamic)
• Extensive library of Vortex collision geometries and advanced physics-based constraints
• On-the-fly parameter-based configurations of multiple objects like vehicle wheels save weeks of coding effort
• Option to utilize Vortex objects with predefined physics or to implement custom physics behaviour

Numerous Benefits for Vega Prime Users

By deploying the industry-leading Vortex physics engine from within a Vega Prime environment, users can implement sophisticated interactive simulations quickly and easily. Vega Prime developers can leverage Vortex for its high-performance motion simulation while saving significant development and coding efforts. Vortex for Vega Prime brings sophisticated visual simulations to life, providing a robust solution for challenging motion modeling and interactive applications.
