HLA 1.3 API

The HLA 1.3 API consists of the RTIambassador, the FederateAmbassador,and the FedTime classes with supporting types.

Centralized RTI interface header

• RTI.hh - This file contains the class shells for the RTIambassador and the FederateAmbassador.

The RTIambassador class defines the interface used by the federate to access the services of the RTI. The implementation is provided by the RTI.

• RTIambServices.hh - This file contains the methods for the RTIAmbassador class.

The FederateAmbassador class defines a pure abstract interface used by the RTI to evoke callbacks on the federate. The implementation must be provided by the federate.

• federateAmbServices.hh - This file contains the methods for the FederateAmbassador class.
• NullFederateAmbassador.hh - This file provides an example derivation of the FederateAmbassador with NULL actions for each service.

Supporting types

• baseTypes.hh - This file contains the basic types used in the interface.
• RTItypes.hh - This file contains the working types used in the interface.

The FedTime class defines the interface for the representation of federation time. The FedTime abstract classes are used by the RTI interface and implementation; however, a concrete implementation must be provided for use by the federate. A double floating point representation is provided as example

• fedtime.hh - This file contains an example derivation of the FedTime class using a double floating point representation.
