Description
The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Engineering Research and Development Center-Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC-CERL) has a requirement to procure the annual renewal of the Vortex Studio Simulations software licenses, a multi-body dynamics and deformable soil simulation software that supports soil-tool interaction simulation for earthmoving operations. This software provides a software development kit (SDK) to enable us to easily integrate the simulation with our existing robotic operating system (ROS) control software stack so that we can perform software in the loop (SIL) simulation. ERDC-CERL intends to award a purchase order on a sole source basis to Simulations CMLABS Inc. in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1).
Vortex Studio Software is published and distributed solely by Simulation CM Labs. Simulation CM Labs has provided a letter to stating that they will be directly selling and distributing the Vortex Studio software licenses, and support work to all US Government entities, confirming the are the sole source for fulfillment of this requirement.
Vortex Studio (from CM Labs) is a simulation software designed specifically for construction equipment. It has a multi-body dynamics engine coupled with a unique discrete element modeling - mesh (DEM-Mesh) hybrid soil simulation. This enables real-time simulation of earthmoving operations using construction equipment such as an excavator, for which there is an existing model that can be used out of the box. Vortex provides an SDK that has been shown by other research programs to enable easy integration of the simulation with a ROS control software stack. This will enable us to perform software in the loop (SIL) simulation with earthmoving equipment so that we can seamlessly continue the development of control algorithms and autonomy capabilities for engineer Army Engineers.
The Vortex software has the following additional capabilities
