Delivering solutions and systems that provide interactive, user-centered experiences with real and simulated objects in a realistic, synthetic environment is the goal of the Modeling and Simulation Department at Southwest Research Institute. Extensive ongoing research and development is conducted by SwRI engineers in the use of modeling and simulation techniques and technologies to provide interactive training for an array of applications.

 

Overview of Modeling and Simulation Capabilities

Modeling and simulation systems range from desktop applications to fully immersive simulations employing real-time visual, haptic, and olfactory feedback. SwRI's experience in interactive simulation covers the evaluation, assessment, and integration of existing technologies as well as the development of new technologies and application methods.

  • Live, virtual and constructive simulation

  • Discrete event simulation

  • Real-time simulation

  • Visual analytics

  • Physics-based modeling

  • Aggregate behavior modeling
