Real-time simulation and animation for dynamic control systems

Abstract

Real-time digital simulation and graphic animation limited band-width dynamic control systems can significantly enhance the interpretation and understanding of system responses. This paper outlines an efficient techniques for generating the graphics and the timing in real-time simulation and animation of the dynamic control systems using a high-speed high- performance PC-AT microcomputer. For illustration, the simulation and animation results for the adaptive computer controlled suspension of a combat vehicle and for the gun-turret stabilization and tracking control system for combat vehicle are presented.
