VE-Suite
VE-Suite is an open source based virtual engineering software toolkit that simplifies information management so users can simultaneously interact with engineering analyses and graphical models to create a virtual decision-making environment. It is available under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) and is composed of four main software engines: VE-CE is the software engine responsible for the synchronization of the data between the various analysis and process models and the engineer VE-Xplorer is the decision-making environment that allows the engineer to visually interact with the equipment models VE-Conductor, the graphical user interface, is the engineer's mechanism to control models and other information VE-Open connects the core engines of VE-Suite and transfers data from user-defined information sources to VE-Suite software engines These software engines coordinate the flow of data from the engineer to the virtual components being designed.
