FastSim Suite

Overview 

The FastSim envirmonment targets large-system models and simulations and provides a framework for designers, system integrators, and program managers to collaborate more efficiently and effectively. The simulation suite combines many of PCKA’s patented and tried-and-true simulation tools into one easy-to-use package. These tools include Automated State Model Generator (ASMG), Distributed Heterogeneous Simulation (DHS), Distributed Heterogeneous Optimization (DHO), and Partitioned Finite-Element (PFE).  The FastSim framework and included toolsets lay the foundation for modern system design, analysis, simulation through system-level optimization and automated average-value modeling.

FastSim builds, stores and runs system simulations using three components: Composer, Model Repository, and Agent, respectivly.  Together, they form a complete integrated simulation environment.  Through Composer,  models and applications are quickly built into a larger system.  Model Repository saves systems in a way that simplifies distributed amoungst collaborators.  Agents can simulate a system on a local computer or distribute the system across multiple computers.

FastSim Composer

Model Repository (Store) Executes Distributed System Components Store all binary files in addition to meta data describing the system. Model and System storage for FastSim. No network configuration required.  Repositories are auto-discovered by the environment when started. Common location for models and systems lends to component reuse. As more storage or computing power is needed, Agents and Repositories can be quickly added and are automatically discovered by the environment.

Composer (Build) Drag-and-drop graphical design Construct complex systems Develop reusable models Build multilevel systems

Agent (Run) Master control for runni ng system simulations. Live model and system status. Simulaneously run multiple simulations distributed across multiple computers.
