1. Realtime Technologies, Inc. Distributed Simulation Training  April 2005

2. Purpose  Introduce distributed simulation concepts. Build and test a distributed simulator.

3. Network Properties  Must set up your IP address and Subnet mask

4. Configure SimCreator Network  The IP Broadcast Address is based on your IP address and the subnet mask. Subnet numbers that are zero become 255 in the IP address to create the broadcast address: IP Address: 192.168.0.1 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 -> Broadcast Address: 192.168.0.255  Login Name must be a Windows user with correct password  Storage path must exist in the ftp folder

5. Install IIS  Go to install windows components and select IIS to install (if it is checked already then it is already installed)

6. Set Up IIS Manager  Inside the Control Panel  Inside of Administrative Tools

7. Configure IIS  Select ftp sites  Select Default FTP site  Right click and select properties

8. Configure IIS  Unclick Anonymous Connections

9. Configure IIS  Turn on write permissions to home directory

10. Configure SimCreator  Make sure ftp path is the same as the local path in IIS

11. Build a Simple Simulation  Compile a model by selecting: Code -> Compile  Select the appropriate host

12. Run the Model Over the Network  Select: Run->Execute  Make sure the appropriate host is selected and the interpreter flag is turned off

13. Compile a Generic Model Over the Network  Open Standard Library  Select: Code->Compile Generic  Select the appropriate host

14. Run the Previous Model Over the Network with Interpreter  Select: Run->Execute  Make sure the appropriate host is selected and the interpreter flag is turned on

15. Simple Distributed Simulator

17. Models LocalRemote

18. Distributed Compile

19. Component Data COMPONENT Local_Ramp InitValue [0][0] = 0 [ND] Initial Value Before Ramp RampTime [0][0] = 1 [sec] Starting Time of Ramp Slope [0][0] = 1 [ND/sec] Ramp Slope COMPONENT Remote_Ramp InitValue [0][0] = 0 [ND] Initial Value Before Ramp RampTime [0][0] = 1 [sec] Starting Time of Ramp Slope [0][0] = 1 [ND/sec] Ramp Slope COMPONENT Remote_Gain Gain [0][0] = 1 [ND] Gain

20. Run the Simulation  If the generic model has all the components can run interpreted

21. Results

22.  Distance between two lines is the delay between machines

23. Rerun With Interpreter On  If the interpreter is compiled on every machine. Then you don’t have to compile distributed models. Just run them in interpreted mode.
