How does one obtain a miniSim?

For contracting with us, there are three elements:

1. The hardware, installation, training, and any project-specific development or customization is handled under a UI research contract.
2. The ISAT, miniSim, Tiles, nDaqTools and other software are delivered by NADS for:
   1. Internal R&D and Non-profit applications: a software transfer agreement through the UI Research Foundation is used. A $6,875 /year software support and maintenance fee is required.
   2. Commercial applications: a commercial license can be obtained from the UI Research Foundation. This requires a license fee based on a percentage of revenue model. This typically allows the holder to derive revenue directly from simulator based services or distribution for a specific application/market.
3. The Tile Mosaic Tool is delivered by, and fully supported by NADS, but a $0 loan agreement from Rockwell Collins is required.
