News Opus Suite v2024.0

The Opus Suite release version 2024.0 is now available for download and ready for installation, including some exciting new capabilities, as well as enhancements to existing features.

Main news in this release: 


New Viewer for Simulation Results

With the release of Opus Suite version 2024.0 comes a new, complementary, visualization for SIMLOX results. This first version of a new result window focuses on visualizing mission results, system state results, and capability results. Users can choose whether to use the previous viewer, the new viewer, or both simultaneously. After linking a SIMLOX result file (.sxo) to the new view, all graphs are immediately, and automatically, updated once new results are available in the result file. 

The goal of the new result viewer is to present results in a more flexible way. A good example is the new capability results (see below) which can be visualized, and analyzed, more efficiently using the new view. 

This new result presentation is a first step in upgrading and modernizing the Opus Suite user interface. Hence, we encourage early engagement from the user community and invite you to share feedback either through the support request form on our website or by email to support@systecongroup.com – using the subject "New Result Viewer". 

Note that for this version, the new result view is opened as a separate executable, available from a sub-folder to the SIMLOX installation (\SIMLOX-Result-Viewer).

 

Support for System Capabilities Evaluation

With SIMLOX it is possible to evaluate a system’s capability to perform scheduled missions of certain types. However, until now, little could be determined about the system’s capability to perform other types of missions, or the capability to perform missions when no missions are scheduled. In the latest version, it is possible to capture the system’s capabilities to perform several types of missions across the entire scenario, and not only during scheduled missions. 

With this functionality, users can ensure that multi-purpose systems - like ships or fighter aircraft - meet their intended capabilities. SIMLOX now provides a comprehensive assessment of the system capability for different operational modes. This offers valuable support when evaluating requirements and ensuring adherence to specified criteria. For example, the new results can show if an average of 98% search and rescue capability can be achieved or if a target of 80% subsurface warfare capability can be maintained over time. With the new input data, the user can efficiently capture the system capabilities and generate dedicated reports and results. Read more about mission capability simulation here.

Graphical presentations are accessible both in the traditional and the new SIMLOX result view, where the latter gives a more comprehensive overview and an enhanced visualization of the capability results. 

To support the introduction of this new feature, three additional tutorials have been added. These are found under the Modeling Example’s section in the user documentation, accompanied by associated input files (.sxi). The content of the examples is quite extensive and covers three different use cases with various aspects of how to approach analyses of system capabilities.

 

Decoupling of Mission Duration and Mission Type

To avoid data repetition and simplify automated data generation, the input data model has undergone a slight change. The properties for a mission's duration are no longer tied to the mission's definition, but instead described with regards to where missions are planned in the operational profile.
