Using Unreal Engine in Simulation Applications
summary
Unreal Engine is being pushed into simulation with concrete tooling and integrations: Datasmith API for CAD and large-file optimization, Marketplace content libraries, GIS plugins from ESRI/Presagis and an open Cesium 3D Tiles plugin, and runtime features like pixel streaming and nDisplay. OpenXR support avoids headset lock‑in. Cloud deployment examples include GM running a Cruze scenario on Google Cloud at ~300,000 instances and a NATO ITT simulator built in under six months. UE5 adds larger terrains and volumetric clouds.
