It is important that the simulator offers a realistic environment of the physical behaviour of both vessel and crane. Crane simulations in real time with great accuracy Lessons can be learnt from mistakes without risking lives or equipment, thereby leading to improved safety and more efficient lifting operations with lower costs and downtime. The same applies to crane operations as practicing lifting procedures on the real vessel with real crane equipment will often be too risky or impractical.Ī simulator provides a virtual and realistic environment to test lifting plans and practise both standard procedures and how to mitigate emergency situations. The software can also be applied in a desktop version for feasibility studies and design verifications in the early development phases.Įnsuring safe and efficient operations by training operators in a simulator has for many years been a well-established practice. The new functionalities allow new types of offshore lifting operations to be simulated for operator training and for planning, testing and verification of offshore lifts. The developments have been co-financed by the Danish Ministry of Higher Education and Science. FORCE Technology has over the last three years added new crane functionalities to our SimFlex4 simulator.
