P R E – P R O D U C T I O N
Prepare your dynamic systems, sensors and 3D environments for your simulation scenarios.
4DV-SYSTEM DESIGNER is a software from the 4DV-SIM suite allowing the user to model and integrate resources through the use of dedicated interfaces and functions. This tool allows you to import your own 3D models, model and configure your controllable systems, sensors and 3D environments, in complete autonomy and confidentiality.
Your resources are then available for building your scenarios in 4DV-EDITOR and for use in simulation in 4DV-SIMULATOR.

Assistance for modeling and 3D resources integration
Several editing functions are available: definition of visual appearance, physical geometry of the system, mechanical behavior, visual programming.
Your 3D models can be issued from various standard formats resulting from 3D modeling in computer graphics or CAD. Therefore you have the ability to use new models and also to reuse models already in your possession.
You accurately define the visual behavior, such as the color of geometric shapes, their visual aspects, the positioning of controllable point lights (eg vehicle headlights).
Physical 3D modeling is also user-defined, and reuse existing models that you can adapt, simplify, or create entirely.

From the sub-entities created by the user, 4DV-SYSTEM DESIGNER allows you to define the mechanical architecture of your system yourself, by defining all of its components and the mechanical links that drive it.
It is possible to define the dynamic and physical parameters of the resources with precision, by characterizing the behavior of each sub-object making up the system.
The following can be defined in particular: the mass and the inertial tensor of sub-objects, the forms of collision and materials useful for interactions of contact or response type, distance sensors, etc.

Program how your resources operate
The internal logic of the resources can be configured using logical blocks included in the software (internal control loop, elementary mathematical functions, logical blocks associated with sensor data).
The use of these logic blocks makes it possible to enrich the level of modeling of the behavior of the system, in particular through the definition of control laws, the processing of sensor data, etc.

4DV-SYSTEM DESIGNER user interface
For greater convenience for the user, the preparation of resources with 4DV-SYSTEM DESIGNER is carried out through the use of an interface whose ergonomic is similar to the one developed in the 4DV-EDITOR working environment.
The interface of 4DV-SYSTEM DESIGNER is organized around the use of several views: a tree view allowing to explore and organize the components of a system, a 3D view allowing to visualize the position of the components, a graph view for logic blocks allowing the components to be interconnected to program visually their dynamic behavior, a view associated with the definition of coordinates and physical characteristics of the components, and finally a view for controlling the configuration of the system.
It is thus possible to focus attention on the advanced configuration of resources.
