ORTHSTAR Product Information

 

Rail Simulation

ORTHSTAR is committed to Rail and Transit Car Simulators as a major aspect of its Systems business.  There are four levels of Transit Car simulators and Locomotive and Train simulators (MODSIM™) available from ORTHSTAR for Transit, Passenger, Freight, and High Speed trains.   Click here for MODSIM™ Information

             

 New Technology Simulator (NTS)

NTS is a networked simulator that typically supports one Instructor Station and four Student Stations.  The Network structure is controlled by the Simulator Network (SIMNET) Server.  NTS with SIMNET allows the Instructor to define different Locomotive and Train Simulators, or different Transit Car Simulators into an integrated system that allows multiple students to be monitored by an instructor.  The NTS also allows for the expansion of additional Instructor and Student Stations into a larger networked environment.  The NTS with SIMNET is an automatic, user friendly environment that allows for easy determination of system readiness, student train scenario control, instructor interaction, and system  maintenance functions.   Click here for more information

       

 

Computer Generated Imagery - CGI  (3D Animation)

CGI is three dimensional, computer-generated animation that appears to be in a realistic environment.  ORTHSTAR's CGI developmental tools, track definition tools and databases are used to create the forward and side views for its train operator simulators.  Click here for more information

 

TrueView™

Used to integrate computer generated imagery into actual video frames, such as a motion picture scene of track video. This feature allows operator interaction with the simulation and creating alternate scenarios while the simulator is operating.

 TrueGuide™

Allows a simulator instructor or maintainer to interface with simple point-and-click functions to the running simulator to define training scenarios, consists, alternate scenarios and student-instructor interaction.

 SignaLink™

Places a virtual train on the tracks ahead of the simulated train. This package will interact with signaling, instructor, and creates situations for the student. The instructor sets up conditions when virtual train is desired.

 

 

Locomotive Part Task Trainer

Assists the locomotive engineer with specified functions such as Train Setup, Air Brake Setup, Trouble Shooting, and Control


Helicopter Part Task Trainer

There are numerous features available from this product. One of the most significant is the development of the AIRDATA computer that is suitable for "glass cockpit" in small turbine helicopters.

 


 ESNE

Extended Sentient Non-Linear Ensemble ... a "New Wave" Adaptive Control System.



 IDAS

Integrated Data Acquisition System ... a pattern recognition system that is capable of interfacing directly to a basic machine tool (Presses, Grinders, etc.) and controlling the basic tool in a consistent process control.



Thread Algebra

A mathematical technique that allows for the integration of events both logically and temporally in a new algebraic schema.



Parametric Simulation

A technique in which the parameters of large system designs, such as major weapon systems, can be analyzed for throughput and capacity.



SNAP

Solid-State Nuclear Applications Package ... Developed to predict the heat and radiation effects of various containers of nuclear waste.
