Simulation Development Platform

Simulation Development Platform (Platinum)

SimsUshare Platinum is the development and playback app at the heart of the SimsUshare ecosystem. The app is simple enough to pick up and use in minutes for those who don’t consider themselves ‘technical’ people, yet it is powerful enough to create realistic, challenging branching-logic and timed-evolution simulations for most sized incidents. If you don’t believe it, we encourage you to request a free trial license and try it for yourself.

SimsUshare Platinum is licensed per user; SimsUshare (Platinum) Network is a volume-discounted package licensed per computer (meaning all users on each Windows computer only counts as 1 license), for the CTC Bronze, Silver, and Gold customers. SimsUshare (Platinum) Network also lets you create multiple simulation folders in shared folders on Windows networks.

The app is available on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android, as described below, and runs on regular devices without specialized or costly graphics hardware.

Note: you must purchase the app for iOS from the Apple App Store, and the app for Android from Google Play. The Enterprise license (subscription) can be applied to any platform to obtain enterprise features such as the Command Training Center.

Important: system requirements are listed below. To use the multi-company exercise feature of the CTC, you will have to configure your firewall to allow traffic to and from ctc.simsushare.com on port 8080.

SimsUshare Features

RAPID CREATION OF SIMS

SimsUshare’s user-friendly interface can be easily mastered without extensive training. Basic sims can be created in minutes; more elaborate sims might take just a little longer.

INCIDENT VIEW NAVIGATION

Use the easy navigation tools to move around all sides of a structure or even inside it. Perform 360s and site inspections as if you were on location.

EFFECTS

SimsUshare comes with a large palette of special effects including eight kinds of smoke and fire, explosions, hazardous materials, a variety of people (characters) and much more.

SNAPSHOTS

Capture a snapshot during an operation. Use it later for incident review, analysis and critical thinking. Project it on a larger screen for group discussion.

MODIFY EFFECT PARAMETERS

Change the volume, velocity, density, and color of smoke and fire. Show the effect of wind direction and speed. Narrow, widen or flip effects.

IMPORT IMAGES

If you can take a picture of it, you can build a custom simulation around it. You can also import ready-made simulations from expert contributors in fire safety and training.

MASKING EFFECTS

With simple masking techniques fire and smoke will appear to come from behind or even inside objects for increased realism.

CAPTURE VIDEO

Capture video directly from within the app (iOS only currently). Upload files from mobile devices to your department’s training website.

TIME SEQUENCING

Make effects appear or disappear over a period of time. Effects can gradually increase in intensity. Create a developing situation.

SHARING

Copy your simulations to another device through the SimsUshare SimCloud or save them to shared network folders, including Dropbox, Google Drive, and Box (Windows and Mac only). Collaborate on specific training projects.
