ABSTRACT

This chapter introduces different visualization mechanisms and tools that have been integrated into the CD++ environment in an attempt to help with these goals. It shows the visualization of different models introduced in previous chapters in order to exemplify the features of the tool. The availability of adequate visualization mechanisms can ease the analysis of complex system behavior while enabling advanced training facilities, including simulations with hardware-in-the-loop and live-constructive-virtual simulation for defense training. The result is an integrated simulation and visualization environment that is able to meet the diverse needs of different users, to ease the validation and verification of continuously evolving models. The simulation results of CD++ are then presented with a customized three-dimensional visualization facility that presents the traffic network and moving vehicles in a user-friendly manner. The maFileReader module is used internally by the visualization engine to retrieve the initial cell values of Cell- Discrete Event systems Specification models.
