Research Of Simulation And Visualization Technology In Oil Transfer Station Operation Based On OpenGL

The computer simulation and the visualization technology have a very broad prospect in the oil pipeline system's application; they had become an important links in pipe-line design, and production management, education training, etc. They also had brought the huge social efficiency and the economic efficiency for the pipe line industry. Along with the development of computer, software and hardware, the technique of computer simulation shows the trend of development from numerical simulation to visualization simulation. Visualization simulation, namely VS, is a new simulation technique, it be formed by the combination of computer simulation and system modeling. According to the actual demand in oil transfer station of Pipeline Company, the oil transfer station visualization simulation system based on OpenGL is studied and developed using visualization simulation technique.On the basis of research on the basic theory of visualization simulation technique and its development at home and abroad, using visualization simulation technology, three dimensional modeling technology, and OpenGL knowledge, this paper carries on the detailed design and research on the oil transfer station visualization simulation system based on OpenGL, and presents its whole frame, structure and realized methods. Modeling all the station's entity geometric model by 3DS MAX software and saving as 3DS format document, importing into the system to product and control the model, the paper uses the man-machine interaction method, the texture mapping technology, the collision examine technology and so on to enhance the system's interactive performance. The system uses VC++6.0 as the software developing environment, calls API functions of OpenGL by MFC. It achieves the station visualization simulation system. The system's major function includes: roaming of virtual oil transfer station, simulation of the oil pipeline process flow, showing of each kind of process unit primitive. The system had achieved the Tai Yang-sheng oil station three-dimensional visualization simulation.The oil transfer station visualization simulation system based on OpenGL is developed in the foundation of research on its essential technologies in this paper, With the deepening of research and development,The system will gradually improve. Its research results will provide the powerful support for the visualization emulation technique in the oil pipeline system's comprehensive application.
