FacePlate
With FacePlate, you will be able to create compelling simulation graphics in minutes. With a minimum of steps, you can assemble your design from libraries of high-fidelity virtual components like buttons, sliders, meters, gauges and dials. You can even use sophisticated monitoring displays such as strip charts, LED bar graphs and dynamic text I/O objects.

  • Integrates seamlessly with leading system simulation and modeling tools
  • Includes hundreds of high quality, full-featured pre-built components
  • Compatible with the award-winning Altia Design custom component editor and prototyping environment

Once you have created a working prototype of your product or process, you can use Altia’s pre-built point-and-click Connection Packages to connect to the simulation tool of your choice.
