Research on Scheme and Data Exchange Method for HLA Simulation Tools

Supporting tools are the foundation for building simulation systems, and a series of tools are required in promoting High Level Architecture (HLA) technology, which include core underprop tools and runtime service tools. According to the characteristics of HLA technology, the paper puts forward a "console + function federate" scheme to develop runtime service tools, and analyzes three data interfaces in the mode, including interfaces between users and console, consol and function federate, and between function federate and Run-time Infrastructure (RTI). Then data exchange methods for the first two interfaces are expatiated on by using the over-load functions and mapping files in memory. And finally, the application of the scheme is introduced in Federate Compliance Test software.
