General Resources

We recommend that you start by reading the Pitch Visual OMT 1516 User's Guide.

For a full specification of the OMT format for HLA IEEE 1516 you may want to refer to the IEEE standard that you can get from IEEE.

Tips and Procedures

Developing for HLA 1.3 while preparing for HLA 1516

If you still need to support the older HLA 1.3 standard but plan to migrate to HLA 1516 you can still benefit from using Pitch Visual OMT 1516. Develop the object model in the HLA 1516. When you need to use your FOM together with an HLA 1.3 RTI you can simply save a FED file for HLA 1.3.

Sharing an object model within a project with many participants

Use the "Save as HTML" wizard. Don’t forget to write a note about the version and status of the object model if it isn’t finalized. Then put the HTML file on a web server or file server that everybody can access. The HTML document will be fully interlinked so that you can go directly for example from an attribute to a data type with a click.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How can I migrate from HLA 1.3 to HLA 1516 object models?

A: Visual OMT 1516 provides a wizard that will help you do this in a few steps.

Q: What are the biggest differences that I need to consider when moving my FOM or SOM from HLA 1.3 to HLA 1516?

A: In HLA 1516 there is a full and unambiguous definition of data types and encoding. This means that you are recommended to investigate exactly what encoding formats that you use for your data. If you use DDM your routing spaces (predefined sets of dimensions) will be replaced with dimensions.

Q: Can I use an old HLA 1.3 FED file to create an HLA 1516 object model in Pitch Visual OMT?

A: It is highly recommended that you try to get hold of the original HLA 1.3 FOM (.OMT file) since it contains more information than the FED file. There is currently no support for importing FED files into Pitch Visual OMT 1516.

Q: Where did the FED files go in HLA 1516?

A: In HLA 1516 there is no separate FED file. The FOM is used directly by the RTI without any special conversion.
