USE CASES

Field edition

The Foundation Pack allows to create environments such a road networks and their surroundings for your scenarios. 3D environments such as Europe 2 or N104 are good examples of what can be done.

Scenarios creation

With the Foundation Pack, you are completely autonomous. It is possible for you to design your own scenarios. This covers: field edition, traffic setting, and vehicle parameters. To create your scenarios, you will use dialogue boxes in MICE or Python languages.

Analysis of results

The Foundation Pack enables you to analyze the results of your simulation, especially with the help of the data recorded with 3D views and videos. You can also export the data to Excel or to a CSV file.

Preparation of the tests

The SCANeR environment has the tools to monitor and analyze your simulations. You can record and replay your simulations infinitely. Once the scenarios are validated, they will be shared in order to run on a simulator or in a massive simulation context.

Vehicle Dynamic

The Foundation Pack has the tools that allows interfacing with the SCANeR simulation of vehicle dynamics such as CarRealTime, Carsim, AMEsim or others. If you want to go further in the edition of your own vehicle dynamic, it may be a good idea to use the Vehicle Dynamics Pack. 

License policy

The creation of the new packaging was the occasion to clarify a licensing policy that was already in place but not always well understood. From now on, there are only two cases of use of the software license.

Nomadic: the license is distribute on a physical dongle. This format is dedicated to the people who need to move their license from one computer to another. It may be the case if the user navigates between his desktop and test tracks. In this case, it is important not to lose or damage the dongle.

Fixed: the license is distributed in a file. It is only attached to one computer, therefore, not movable. This is a type of license to choose if you want to install a license on computer or if you want to install multiple licenses on a computer that will act as a token server. Of course, this computer must remain on and be accessible by network.

The two cases are summarized in the following illustration:

It is important to note that in terms of cost, there is no difference between both of the configurations. Take time to explain your use case to our engineers and we will give you the best advice.

More important, note that in both cases, you have a license server that enables you to have the configuration from any other computer (see the Server column above). We consider that in the 21st century, the omnipresence of networks makes wanting to get theses licenses, without additional costs, regardless of where they are located legitimate.

Let us take two examples to establish the ideas. If you leave your computer on at the office and can still access it through a VPN, it is then possible to use your license from another site or at home. The office computer behaves like a license server capable of sharing only one token at a time. It does not matter if the license in the office is on a dongle or on a file. It requires that the computer stays on.

In a more classical way, if a fixed-type license has about ten license tokens, after setting them up, they can be used by different employees who will have access to the server and obtain a token. This is an essential step when it comes to supporting companies in their standardization process around SCANeR.

In other words, making the choice of the SCANeR platform is the guarantee to benefit from floating licenses usable everywhere and by all, without overcharge.
