The SIM/Tool is a low fidelity but highly versatile tool that supports generation
of simulations of mission equipment. These simulations can be generated during the
early life cycle phases and evolved, and used throughout the remainder of the life
cycle.
Uses for simulations during the mission life cycle include:
- Conceptual Design
- Requirements Analysis
- Graphical User Interface Prototyping
- Developmental Testing
- Integration Testing
- System Testing
- Operator Training
- Mission Rehearsals
- System Demonstrations
- Application Trouble Shooting
- Mission Fault Resolution
In conjunction with OS/COMET®, use of the SIM/Tool can comprise a complete system
by performing generation, configuration, execution, and control simulations of mission-specific
equipment.
