| Abstract | Traditionally, a ship motion was only analyzed by fluid engineers with several computational codes, and the graphs were the only way to show the analysis results. While they are sometimes very useful to check the entire results at a glance, they did not usually impose any feeling about how fast it could be moved or how large the positions were changed, especially to the amateurs. For this, an integrated simulation to combine the motion analysis data with state-of-the-art IT technologies such as the virtual reality (VR) and the motion platform can be one of solutions. The VR technology can be used to visualize the ship motion, including waves and sky with real textures. The response calculated from the motion analysis can be transferred to the motion platform to give the realistic motion. So far, because those three technologies have been developed individually, it is not easy to integrate those in one. To solve this problem, an integrated simulation framework based on three different kinds of technologies is proposed in this study. Using the integrated simulation framework, we can synchronize the simulation time and exchange data through the middleware with a standardized data structure. To verify the efficiency and applicability of the proposed framework, it is applied to the motion simulation of a drillship. |
