RESUMO

Man-in-the-loop or human-in-the-loop simulations reproduce virtually real or imaginary environments to the user, being used for several purposes, such as, entertainment, training, experiment and rehabilitation. In training area, the simulators are more and more used aiming, specially for costs and risks reduction besides the total control of training conditions. Training simulators have been used in several areas such as medicine (surgical procedures simulators), evaluation, traffic, nautical, industrial, military, among others. One of the difficulties in the simulator development for training is to project and implement the virtual environment model in software. Even though there are several free and commercial tools that might help in simulator development, few of them focus on system modeling and execution, and those are, in its majority, proprietary. The main purpose of this work is to design a generic tool to assist the modeling, structuring and implementation of virtual environment simulators for training, starting from the proposal of a software architecture based on the structural decomposition of the system to be simulated. The use of a generic tool aims to reduce time and cost of developing training simulators, facilitating simultaneous integration of various workgroups and reuse of software components for other applications. Initially, a software architecture for training simulators was designed based on academic researches and a prototype of a generic tool was developed. To evaluate this tool, a case study was conducted based on the Bell Jet Ranger III rotorcraft simulator software and real operational procedures. The study was performed by partially adapting the original simulator software using the proposed tool. The results showed the feasibility of using the purposed architecture and generic tool for training simulators development.
