SimGe

Simulation Generator (SimGe) is a full-featured High Level Architecture (HLA) object model editor, simulation design and development environment, and a federation prototyping tool with code generation capability. SimGe fully supports evolving IEEE 1516 standards, including comprehensive alignment with IEEE 1516-2025 (HLA 4), while maintaining backward compatibility with earlier HLA specifications.

SimGe includes an integrated Object Model Development Environment (OMDE), Federation Architecture Modeling Environment (FAME), report generator, code generator, and Telemetry Inspector Visualizer, providing an end-to-end toolchain for HLA-based simulation engineering from object modeling and federation architecture design through code generation to post-run telemetry analysis.

SimGe OMDE enables users to manage, create, and modify HLA Object Models in full compliance with the IEEE 1516 Object Model Template (OMT). It supports the import and export of standard HLA artifacts, including Federation Execution Data (FED) and FOM Document Data (FDD), ensuring interoperability across simulation environments.

The Code Generator automatically produces platform-ready federate code targeting modern HLA infrastructures. While earlier versions relied on the RTI abstraction layer RACoN, the current architecture has transitioned to generating code fully compatible with the Fora client, aligned with the IEEE 1516-2025 HLA Federate Protocol.

This evolution establishes SimGe as a model-driven, HLA 4-native simulation development platform, combining standards compliance, automation, and modern software architecture practices.

The architecture of the code generated by SimGe conforms to the layered architectural style specified in Topcu 2013 and Topcu 2011.
