BrR/D Goals – Software Migration
• Virtis/Opis development is 15 years old!
• Inevitable changes in hardware & software platforms
• Environment, tools, code• Environment, tools, code
• Will require large amount of resources (time, money, etc.)
BrR/D Goals – Software Migration
• Migration to .Net
• More features/tools, but large codebase
• Take advantage of Parallel Processing
• Fully utilize current processors, but need to convert existing serial processesconvert existing serial processes
• Take advantage of Asynchronous Processing
• Frees up processor for other things, but need to identify/convert existing processes
BrR/D Goals – Software Migration
• Evolving & Preparing for the next 15 years
• Improve/simplify the UI w/o losing capabilities
• Improve graphics and reports
• Improve performance
• Improve memory utilization – no more • Improve memory utilization – no more mixed/managed code
• Considerations
• Identify weaknesses in current system and the technologies/processes to address them
• Determine reasonable budget/schedule
BrR/D Goals – Reporting
• Reports Technical Advisory Group recently formed
• Anticipate identifying and developing new stronger reporting tools this summer and fall
• Implementation of ideas beginning with 2014 release
BrR/D Goals – Beyond 2014
• Software Migration
• Stronger reporting tools
• More Iterative Design Tools
• Truss GUI• Truss GUI
• Expand PT to other structure types
• Concrete Arches
• Steel Box Girders
• Expand NSG analysis
