Simulation software eases 3D animation

VisSim is a Windows-based program for the modelling and simulation of complex nonlinear dynamic systems, combining an intuitive drag-and-drop block diagram interface with a powerful simulation engine.

European simulation enthusiasts previewed the VisSim 7 simulation software tool at the headquarters of Adept Scientific last week.

The two day event was delivered by Pete Darnell, CEO and Chief Software Engineer at Developers Visual Solutions.

The first day concentrated on the new features in VisSim 7, including 3D animation, 3D plotting, a vastly increased range of matrix operations, auto save and printing improvements.

The system allows easy 3D animation and a spreadsheet-like interface for specifying tabular data, as well as routines for smoothly interpolating physical data.

The following day focussed on a hands-on training course in Visual Solutions' Embedded Controls Development (ECD) software environment.

Delegates learned how to develop algorithms using ECD and downloaded them to F2812 DSPs.

All delegates took home a TI MSP430 low-power microprocessor evaluation kit.

Alan Riley, an Engineer from Sensonics who attended the User Meeting, said: "I got exactly want I wanted from the course; on the first day a very good introduction to VisSim from someone who has a deep understanding of the software".

"The second day demonstrated the power and simplicity of VisSim ECD in DSP applications; this has to be the way to go for DSP development".
