Tank Simulator is a software tool to simulate a battle Tank based on its vehicle dynamics. Vehicle dynamics allow simulations to contain parameters that most clearly approximate the dynamic performance of the vehicle. Tank Simulator is still under development and currently simulates only few vehicle parameters like weight, dimension, velocity, suspension and braking effects. The complete version will be one which will have all the vehicle parameters included and exhibits Track-Terrain interaction. The developmental activity uses a computational engine called Open Dynamics Engine (ODE), which is an industrial standard library to simulate articulated bodies. It provides interactive or real-time simulation. 3D Visual environment of the simulator uses a Graphics Library that is packaged with ODE. Functions have been added to this library to suit to the application’s need. The complete software is packaged as an integrated environment in Visual C++.
