| Abstract | As the weight and size of the erected block and module of the offshore project are increased, new lifting plans by using floating cranes have been tried to enhance the production efficiency in the shipbuilding area. In this situation, a physics-based simulation is required to manage potential risk of lifting plan in advance. Similar requirements have been arisen in the installation of the offshore plants such as float-over and launching. Therefore, this study developed a physics-based simulation system for production and installation of ships and offshore plants. The developed simulation system is based on six kernels: multibody system dynamics kernel, force calculation kernel, numerical analysis kernel, hybrid simulation kernel, scenario management kernel, and collision detection kernel. Based on these kernels, this study develop a simulator including following graphic user interfaces (GUIs): modelling, visualization, and report GUI. It was applied to various examples for production and installation of ships and offshore plants. The results show that the simulator is useful for various simulations of the operations in shipyards and offshore industries. |
