Virtual ship production phase

Created virtual ship models can be used as a basis for simulation of various technological processes such as loading-unloading processes, salvage operations and many other types of simulation necessary for design and construction of various types of ships and vessels https://www.zalivdesign.com/services/.

Initially it is desirable to simulate the shipyard and the block assembly technology, then, the stage of ship construction in the dry dock and the stage of completion, etc. The critical stages, areas, material flows, etc. can be checked.

It is very important to simulate the rescue operations required IMO at least for the passenger evacuation process. Currently there are no standard tools for this. However, the virtual ship model created makes it possible to simulate the probabilistic process of passenger evacuation and the possible problems associated with this process.

The simulation software can virtually place each individual passenger randomly in a selected area of the ship, such as daytime and nighttime simulations. When all passengers are seated and the alarm sounds, the passengers start moving toward the assembly point. Passengers can overtake each other if they have different speeds, in crowded, narrow escape routes the speed will decrease. The simulation can be repeated for different speed distributions, for example, to find the most critical cases.

Dynamic simulations can determine the time it takes for passengers to arrive at assembly points. Remote collection points can be assigned to each passenger in a mixed flow simulation, panic situations can be analyzed, and some virtual passengers can also be forced to stop or go against the main flow.

When analyzing the model, the time required for evacuation is calculated and possible bottlenecks are shown. In this way, an effective tool is developed to verify the design at an early stage as well as in the final stages of engineering development.
