Support for Distributed, Interactive Simulation.The features and capabilities of the FLAMES Kernel and the standard applications are adequate for many types of simulations. However, some types of simulations require additional capabilities. Several optional FLAMES products augment the capabilities of the Kernel and standard applications to help you meet specialized simulation requirements quickly and inexpensively.

Option |
Description |
Compatible Applications |
|
|
Allows Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED®) to be imported into a FLAMES database and used in all model calculations and display operations that involve the terrain. |
FORGE, FIRE, and FLASH |
Windows®, Sun®, and Linux® | |
|
Allows ARC shapefiles containing polyhedral TIN data, Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (ESRI) shapefiles containing cultural feature data (such as roads, buildings, and land regions), and feature attribute data (such as feature name and color) to be imported into the FLAMES database. This data can be used in visual displays and in all model calculations that involve the terrain. |
FORGE, FIRE, and FLASH |
Windows, Sun, and Linux | |
|
Allows the visualization of FLAMES scenarios using scenes drawn with high-resolution, texture-based, three-dimensional (3D) graphics. |
FORGE, FIRE, and FLASH |
Windows | |
|
Allows the performance of complex parametric trade studies and Monte-Carlo analysis. Multiple scenario executions can also be performed with a single execution of FIRE. |
FORGE and FIRE |
Windows, Sun, and Linux
| |
|
Relational Database Option |
Allows Cognition Models to store information in an in-memory relational database. Databases are manipulated using an extended subset of the industry standard Structured Query Language (SQL). |
FORGE and FIRE (Standard in FLARE) |
Windows, Sun, and Linux |
|
Allows interactive scenario execution with virtual simulators and real-world command, control, and communications systems. |
FORGE and FIRE |
Windows, Sun, and Linux
| |
|
Set of services callable from any application to allow it to communicate interactively with FORGE and FIRE (and the Interactive Server Option) during scenario execution. |
Custom |
Windows, Sun, and Linux | |
|
Sensor Coverage Analysis Option |
Allows static, 2D sensor coverage diagrams to be displayed based on full sensor model detection processing (not just line-of-sight tests). |
FORGE
|
Windows, Sun, and Linux |
|
Allows participation in DIS exercises using the IEEE DIS protocol. |
FORGE and FIRE
|
Windows, Sun, and Linux | |
|
Allows participation in HLA federations during scenario execution. |
FIRE
|
Windows and Sun | |
|
Allows the use two or more processors on a Windows platform to execute scenarios faster. |
FORGE and FIRE
|
Windows
| |
|
Checkpoint/Restart Option
|
Saves all internal data values in checkpoint files at specified times during execution. Also allows FIRE to restart using the data in a checkpoint file. |
FIRE |
Windows and Sun |
|
Network Database Option |
Provides improved performance and security when applications executing on one computer are accessing a FLAMES scenario database resident on another computer. |
FORGE, FIRE, FLASH, FACT Importer, DTED (Digital Terrain) Importer, Enhanced 3D Scene Importer, and Enhanced 3D Icon Importer |
Windows |
