Collaborative Maintenance Simulation System Using Virtual Mockup

Assembly Simulation on Collaborative Haptic Virtual Environments

Currently, Virtual Environments (VEs) are used within engineering industry: physical prototypes or mock-ups are replaced by virtual prototypes. Increasingly, these VEs also allow designers and engineers to carry out assembly/disassembly processes and assembly sequences before any physical prototype is built. Moreover, different designers or engineers, which may be situated in the same or in geo...

Collaborative Virtual Experience: Interactive Domino Simulation

A simulation-based Virtual Environment can be used to map real world phenomena into virtual experience. This research studies on the use of Newton’s physics law to demonstrate the effects of forces upon object’s falling movement, and their effects towards other fallible objects. A reconfigurable simulation enables users to reconfigure the parameters of the objects involved in the simulation, so...

Adapting Functional Mockup Units for HLA-compliant Distributed Simulation

Conceptual design of systems requires aggregate level simulations of the designed system in its operational setting. By this way, performance of the system and its interactions with the other entities in its environment can be evaluated. The complex nature of these simulations often requires distributed execution. IEEE 1516 High Level Architecture (HLA) is a widely accepted standard architectur...

System Challenges for Collaborative Virtual Environments

The Virtual Campus – A Collaborative System

This paper defines the concept of virtual campus as a collaborative system. It builds architecture for virtual campus oriented on collaborative training processes. Are established the quality characteristics of the collaborative instruction process and them is associated a metric for measuring the performance level. The construction validation is done on measurements made in the virtual campus ...
