DLR Visualization 2 Library - Real-Time Graphical Environments for Virtual Commissioning

Abstract

In this paper, the next generation of model-based visualization is introduced, the DLR Visualization 2 Library. This new real-time graphics environment for Modelica is equipped with a state of the art engine for physics based lighting calculation and high-definition render quality, simultaneous visualization of parallel running simulation models, new features like a modern streaming interface and a new, cleaner library structure. It enables the user to create graphical real-time environments for virtual commissioning of complex systems of systems and imaging based sensors. Some applications, as for example depthcamera data generation or rendering of point clouds or vectorized flow visualization are demonstrated in the use cases section of this paper.
