VTB Overview
VTB Users and Developers Conference September
17-18, 2003 Columbia, SC
  • Roger Dougal
  • Dept of Electrical Engineering

A New Perspective
This is a gathering of many experts from many
disciplines who have worked together to create
and use the VTB software. VTB now transcends
any one research program. Contributions to its
technology and implementation come from many
directions and from many projects. It
ubiquitously appears in an ever increasing
spectrum of research endeavors. Our focus in
this conference is on the software itself and how
it can be usefully applied, rather than on any
one of the myriad of projects that use it or help
to develop it. You are welcome to contribute
knowledge and resources to further advance its
capabilities.

VTB Goals
  • Develop the worlds most capable, flexible,
    applicable, simulator for interdisciplinary
    dynamic systems
  • Provide an interactive, immersive, realtime,
    adaptable simulation environment that is
    supported on many platforms
  • Support top-down design approaches, accounting
    for parameter uncertainty, partial data, complex
    multiresolutional models, many model tools
  • Support incremental virtual prototyping via
    hardware in the simulation loop

New Capabilities
  • Scripting
  • introduces concept of two separate time
    references to trigger events
  • Programmable via Excel spreadsheet
  • Modular solver for natural/signal systems can be
    used under Windows, Linux, Mac OS-X, including RT
    (not all cases)
  • System synthesis tools
  • Analysis tools
