The ADvantage Framework


The ADvantage Framework is an open architected suite of software tools used to develop and perform simulation-based development and test. Simulation-based development and test activities available with the ADvantage Framework include software-in-the-loop simulation, real-time hardware-in-the-loop simulation, and distributed real-time simulation. The ADvantage Framework provides the software backbone for many of today’s most advanced system integration labs. The ADvantage Framework includes the following components:

Intelligent Integration


Intelligent Integration is an approach used to perform highly effective system integration. When performing Intelligent Integration, a pure software “virtual integration lab” is implemented in parallel with real-time simulator implementation. This approach allows for greater parallelization of development activities and thus reduces the overall cost and schedule for system integration. The ADvantage Framework is the only simulation framework designed specifically for Intelligent Integration.

ADvantage Targets
ADvantage offers desktop and real-time targets for simulation and testing. The following three targets are offered:

GP – Desktop cosimulation target
rtX – PC-based real-time simulation target
RTS – VME-based real-time simulation target

 
Compiler Independent

The ADvantage Framework is compiler and operating system independent. ADvantageDE supports most popular compilers and can be configured to support nearly any commercially available compiler. The ADvantage Framework also transparently handles the complexities of mixed-language project development.
