Features

Flexible:

  • Runs on Windows and Linux
  • Can be linked to Matlab/Simulink
  • Can be run via Java (JNI)
  • Shared resources (typically for environmental models)
  • Different integration methods
  • Can be run both as an application and as an API

Efficient:

  • Implemented in C++
  • Can be run without visualisation
  • Parallelisation and use of GPU

3D visualisation:

  • Based on Ogre3D
  • Each model is responsible only for drawing itself
  • Uses the GPU

Applications

  • Gear design
  • Gear monitoring
  • Vessel design
  • Aquaculture facility design
  • Training for offshore operations
