The Simulation Software Research Of Bulk Chemical Tanker Liquid Cargo Handling System

Simulation technology is widely used in the marine domain, especially the simulator had become an important tool for teaching, examination and assessment of the crew stipulated by IMO. The simulation and software research of bulk chemical tanker’s liquid cargo-handling system is an important part of Bulk Chemical Tanker Cargo-Handling Simulator Research&Development. Based on the general process of mathematical simulation, the paper makes simulation research on9000DWT Bulk Chemical Tanker’s liquid cargo-handling system. Main contents are summed as follow:1. Research and analysis the constitute and principle of9000DWT Bulk Chemical Tanker’s liquid cargo handling system and related system.2. The mathematical model of liquid cargo handling system and other related system is created, including cargo pump, valve, cargo tank, cargo pipeline, ballast system, hydraulic power system, cargo heating system, tank washing system and ship floating condition.3. Build simulation process of each device, system and monitoring alarm to provide a framework support for the effective development of simulation software.4. By the modern software design method, In the IDE of Visual Studio2010, develop the simulation software’s interface and program, various functional modules of the system are achieved. The automation simulation of liquid cargo handling system can be implemented. Finally, carry out the software operation demonstration to ensure that the real-time simulation software has clear interface and reliable function.In the process of liquid cargo handling simulation operation, the software automatically collects all relevant parameters. After the analysis and judgment, it provides real-time display, data transmission and fault alarm. All these actions can effectively guide the operation. It is a further attempt for automation and intelligent, and it can provide a theoretical basis for further study combined with multi-direction. The development of Bulk Chemical Tanker Cargo-Handling Simulator is an important part of marine simulator for various vessel type, and it will help achieve pedigree and intelligent of marine training equipment.
