SIMDIS
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SIMDIS Visual Analysis & Display Toolset is a set of software visualisation and analysis tools developed by the United States Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) for use in the Navy and Marine Corps. It provides 2-D and 3-D interactive displays of live and post-processed simulation, field test and operational data. The software runs on the IBM PC running Windows or Linux, as well as Sun Microsystems workstations.
The first version of SIMDIS was released in 1989 as DCYPLOT (Decoy Plot), because the NRL needed a 2-D display tool that displayed the run-time results of various anti-ship missile models. DCYPLOT was written in Fortran. The next version, DCYDIS (Decoy Display) was released in 1993. It was written in C and could display both 2-D and 3-D data. DCYDIS was renamed to SIMDIS in its next release in 1998. This release was rewritten in C++ and used shared components which were also used by other software developed by the NRL.
SIMDIS was publicly released without distribution restrictions in 2005, and is now used by various organisations inside and outside the United States, such as the Department of Defense.
