• OMDE supports both OMT 1.3 and OMT 1516-2010 specifications, enabling backward-compatible and standards-based Object Model engineering.

• OMDE allows creation and import of a SimGe project Object Model, providing a unified workspace for model development and lifecycle management.

• OMDE allows import and export of HLA 1.3 FED files, supporting legacy federation definitions.

• OMDE allows import, export, and validation of HLA 1516-2010 (HLA Evolved) FDD files; editing of the notes element is currently not supported.

• OMDE allows import, export, and validation of HLA 1516-2025 (HLA 4) FDD files; editor actions are not yet supported.

• OMDE allows modification of the Object Model through a table-style user interface, improving clarity, consistency, and structured editing.

• OMDE includes an integrated Diagram Viewer, providing visual representation of Object Class Diagrams and Interaction Class Diagrams derived directly from the Object Model.

• OMDE supports diagram export as high-resolution PNG images, enabling easy inclusion in documentation, presentations, and design reviews.

• OMDE supports Interface Specification Services usage, aligning model definitions with HLA interface requirements.

• OMDE validates user input according to the IEEE 1516-2.2010 OMT specification, ensuring strict standards compliance.

• OMDE supports multiple Object Models, allowing users to work with multiple FOM versions in parallel using multiple OMDE instances.

• Each OMDE instance operates with its own dedicated toolbar, enabling context-specific actions and independent workflows.

• Federation execution properties such as federation execution name can be defined and managed.

• Federate applications can be added/removed to the Federation Architecture Model (FAM).

• FAME provides a structured view of federation composition, enabling early-stage architecture validation and prototyping.

• Code is separately generated for each federate application found in the federation architecture according to the federate's SOM.

• The structure of the generated code conforms to the layered architecture.

• The following pieces of code are generated:

  • The federate class that includes the skeleton code for federate ambassador callback event handlers for RACoN,

  • A class for each HLA class found in the simulation object model and supports the inherited classes,

  • The federate simulation object model (SOM) class,

  • The simulation manager class,

  • A static class (i.e. Tags) that consists of the user-supplied tags as static members.

• Each generated class is placed in a separate source file, improving modularity and maintainability.

• A code generation configuration dialog allows selection of HLA management services for which callback handlers will be generated.

• FED and FDD files are automatically exported to the generated source code directory according to the Federation Object Model (FOM).

• RG fully generates all HLA OMT 1516-2010 tables, including Interface Specification Services, producing comprehensive and standards-compliant documentation suitable for review and certification purposes.

The Project Explorer serves as the unified control center for managing every aspect of simulation development in SimGe.

• Object Models
  Inspect, navigate, and manage Federation Object Models (FOM/SOM) and their structural elements within a single hierarchical view.
  
  

• Federate Applications
  Configure, inspect, and validate all federate applications participating in the federation execution, directly in context.
  
  

• Generated Code & Artifacts
  Browse generated source code, project files, and related artifacts in a structured, searchable, and time-aware hierarchy.

By consolidating modeling, configuration, and generated outputs into one coherent explorer, SimGe provides a clearer mental model, faster navigation, and a workflow aligned with modern IDE expectations.

To ensure SimGe runs smoothly on your machine, please ensure the following prerequisites are met:

• Operating System: Windows 11 (64-bit recommended).

• Framework: Microsoft .NET 8.

• For Generated Code: Visual Studio 2026 or later is recommended to open and compile the simulation projects generated by SimGe.

• Code Generation Platform: RACoN v0.0.2.5 and upper
