Ship Sim 3

The main window of the ship simulator shows a plan view of the ship and includes zoom, vehicle following, and ship's trail. The ship instrument console can be designed by the user to display required information clearly, including setting up sliders to control the engine(s) and rudder(s) and display sensor data. The instrument panel includes the simulation run controls which enable the simulation to be started, paused, reset.

A DLL interface is provided which allows the user to interface with their own model of ship behaviour.

3D external view option - interface with Ship Sim 2 viewer available.

Technical features of Ship Sim:

Supports IEC 62065, ISO 16329 and ISO 11674 standards for autopilot accreditation;
Environment simulation: in addition to wind, tide, and waves, the effect of shallow water under the ship is modelled;
Wave response model: The ship motions are calculated via the shape of the sea surface as well as the ship's velocity with respect to the waves. A user interface dialog allows the amplitudes of response to be scaled independently for surge, sway and yaw. Roll and pitch information is also calculated.
Ship Sim 3 also offers the ability to accept third party physics models. This comprises DLL interface source code, with function calls to be filled in by the user and compiled under Microsoft .NET® framework.

Applications include: Training Autopilot testing For more information, please use the Enquiries form.
