Session duration: 5 days.

Main Objective

This course will ensure that you understand the full range of VAPS capabilities and the role played by each VAPS subsystem in the creation of a virtual prototype.  You will also learn how to apply VAPS to your particular application requirements.

NOTE: Advanced VAPS features are covered in a separate course.

Pre-requisites
