Welcome to this first issue of our HLA products newsletter providing up-to-date information about the use of HLA with MATLAB and Simulink.

ForwardSim HLA Toolbox & HLA Blockset are providing additional capabilities to MATLAB and Simulink for the implementation and execution of distributed simulation;

• Building distributed simulation with MATLAB & Simulink

• Rapidly convert your existing MATLAB models to HLA federates

• Connecting MATLAB & Simulink models to any HLA compliant application

The HLA Toolbox is the MATLAB® interface to the High Level Architecture (HLA) standard for distributed simulation. It provides both ways communications between MATLAB and the Runtime Infrastructure (RTI). The HLA Toolbox improves organization efficiency to participate in multinational simulations or to implement distributed simulations locally. The HLA Toolbox is compliant with HLA 1.3, IEEE 1516 and IEEE 1516-2010 (HLA Evolved) and supports commercial and open sources RTI's (pRTI, MAK RTI, RTI-NG PRO®, PORTICO, CERTI, DMSO ...).

The graphical user interface (GUI) is used to generate the required m-files to build a federate template that can be entirely customized to meet your project requirements. It also provides a great way to visualize the Federation Object Model (FOM) allowing easy specification of the published and subscribed Objects and Interactions.

The HLA Blockset™ is a Simulink® block library specifically designed for the integration of High Level Architecture (HLA) services into Simulink®. The HLA Blockset provides both ways communications between Simulink and the RTI.

Simulink models can be connected to a distributed simulation using any of the HLA standards HLA 1.3, IEEE 1516 or IEEE 1516-2010 (HLA Evolved) and supports commercial and open sources RTI's (pRTI, MAK RTI, RTI-NG PRO®, PORTICO, CERTI, DMSO ...).

The same graphical user interface as the HLA Toolbox is used to configure the "Initialize" block establishing the connection with the RTI.
