Estudo a aplicação da ferramenta de simulação FERAL.

Abstract

Due to the increasing demand for the development of complex systems, the virtualization of processes, and the growing search for cost and project time reduction, areas such as virtual engineering have emerged. To meet the industry’s search for acceleration in the product development process, software was designed to promote virtual testing and prototyping environments. Thus, the built solutions can be implemented and tested from the first stages of the development chain. In this scenario, the present work aims to carry out a study on a framework with great applicability potential and a real capacity for collaboration in industry and research, FERAL. Thus an analysis of the tool’s architecture and components was carried out, highlighting its operating structure. From it, it’s concluded that FERAL has a promising future as a modeling and simulation tool. Since it explores a field little emphasized by other software, which is the integration between different simulation platforms. It is also noteworthy that the UFCG/Fraunhofer IESE cooperation is developing a 5G module for the tool, which will further expand its application area.
