ADvantage Tools

ADvantage is the product umbrella for ADI’s line of simulation and test products. Use ADvantage to develop and run simulation projects for activities ranging from small hardware-in-the-loop simulation facilities to complete system integration labs.

ADvantage includes the following:

  • ADvantage Run-time Framework– Efficient and scalable simulation framework
  • ADvantageDE – Simulation development environment for creating simulation projects
  • ADvantageVI – Point of control for run-time activities including visualization and interaction
  • SIMplotter – High performance real time plotting for simulation visualization

 

ADvantage, first released in 1997, was a major breakthrough for real-time simulation project development, and has evolved to become the most predominant real-time simulation framework available. Since its release, ADvantage has been field tested on projects including:

  • Aircraft Braking
  • Aircraft Avionics
  • Aircraft Flight Controls
  • Defense Land Vehicles
  • Aero, Marine and Power System Turbine Engines
  • Missile Systems
  • Satellite Systems
  • Spacecraft Systems
  • Marine Vehicles
  • Automotive Engine Controls
  • Automotive Chassis Controls
  • Automotive Body Controls
 

ADvantage Framework

The ADvantage simulation framework and tools are used to build, execute, and automate real-time simulation and desktop cosimulation projects by combining COTS hardware with models from popular modeling languages.

The ADvantage run-time framework was initially designed with the following key design goals:

  • Upward and downward scalability
  • Real-time efficiency
  • Complexity transparent to the user
  • Minimal frame jitter
