Scope

The Self Learning template allows to create a scenario based plant simulation that includes the following functionalities:

User authentication
Activity selection
Operator PPE selection
Scenario execution
Performance review

It also offers user data and performance storage functionalities.

Note As the authentication, activity selection, and PPE selection UX is not well suited to be experienced in VR the template does not include preconfigured run configuration for VR.

Versions

The template comes in two versions:

Empty. All the needed functionalities are provided; however, it contains no data.
Sample. A small sample plant is present in the project and is already fully configured to work as reference. A simple pump startup scenario is provided as reference.

Required development activities

To create an Integrated Training Simulator (ITS) application based on this template, the developer will need to do the following:

Provide scene content:
- Import the MWX models of assets.
- Setup lighting and camera.
Scan and configure all interactive items and their actions.
Add Trends.
Configure plant maps and jump to cameras.
Create animations for malfunctions and equipment behaviors (if in the scope).
Configure local avatar simulation parameters.
Configure authentication mode.
Configure scenario tutorial and assessment HUD details.
Create scenarios configurations.
Create scenario steps.
Configure bridge configuration file (if XR Bridge included).

Template Characteristics

Predefined run configurations	player0_screen. To start self learning.
Predefined external tools	Update Bridge. To update bridge.xml basing on mappings.xml. Update Shares. To update shares.xml basing on mappings.xml. Run Bridge. To start XR Bridge using project bridge.xml file. Delete Cache. To delete the content of the Gamedata\cache folder. Make Release. To build the project release folder. Make Release Bridge. To build the release bridge folder. Make Installer. To create the application installer.
Default project setup	Content graphics_context.xml: Includes a predefined template based omni light. References graphic_context_logic.xml file. graphic_context_logic.xml: File that contains additional logic about the content of the graphic context. initial_condition.xml: File that contains the configuration of the scenario and of the scenario selection menu. main_context.xml: Project entry point where to include all other contents. main_scenario.xml: Hosts the scenarios shared script functionalities. main_simulation.xml: Includes some callbacks related to simulation state that can be customized. maps.xml: Configuration of the maps management. templates.xml: Repository for shared template definitions. Configuration cfg_commons: VR settings and field operator PPE. cfg_simulation: Simulation participants and local avatar behavior. cfg_simsetup: Used mostly to set-up authentication mode. cfg_scenario: Used to design what interface element should be included depending on the scenario execution mode (tutorial, assessment, sandbox). Networking mapping.xml: Contains the definitions to be used by Bridge Generator tool to update bridge.xml and shares.xml. bridgeTemplate.xml: Template for bridge.xml used to store manually entered bridge configuration. bridge.xml: Automatically generated bridge configuration. sharesTemplate.xml: Template for shares.xml used to store manually entered shares. shares.xml: Automatically generated shares file. Installer installer.xml: Standard configuration.
