A Simulation System Of Engine Control Room Based On EON

With the rapid development of information technology and wide use of computer, the application of Computer Simulation is increasingly proverbially. Marine Engine Simulator is a typical example of Computer Simulation in the field of navigation. With dense equipments and complex collocation, the engine control room which holds so various interfaces to other areas, is actually the control center of the engine room in any ships, so adroitly dominating the equipments in the engine control room is the most important.In the traditional marine simulating system, the part of engine room is only system with virtual reality roaming. Usually, the data interactive is imperfect; the man-machine interaction is not strong; has not provided the highly effective compression algorithm, so that the procreant file is too big to transfer in the network; mostly it is physics or perhaps half physics(with the actual hardware) simulation system, which increase the cost of system development; lacks the object-oriented thought auxiliary, so that many problems will come during the later period maintaining of the system and the increasing function. Establishing the virtual reality simulation system of ships engine control room is so beneficial supplement to the existing ships turbine simulator, with which the operators can have intuitively, three-dimensional, real-time grasping to various organizations' operational aspect, thus can enhances the accuracy and the security of operating in the engine room control.The SolidWorks 2006 is used to develop three-dimensional models in this system; the three dimensional ground view simulation virtual environment is displayed with EonX under VC 6.0; the virtual reality technology and the object-oriented technology is applies in the ships turbine simulator; and with these, the virtual reality simulation and real-time interactive system of ships engine control room is completed; finally, system's man-machine interaction is strengthened above the foundation. So, generally speaking, the main research content is:(1)Establish and optimize three-dimensional model, so as to found realistic ship engine control room virtual scene;(2)Carry out real-time roaming of console room scene, including self-motion roaming and hand controlling roaming; both of the different ways and various original observer position can be switched;(3)Implement driving the main components in the virtual scene, communicating between the simulation system and the marine simulator. Keep a consistent state between the virtual equipment s and the actual ones; and manipulate the marine simulator by handling the equipments in the virtual scene.
