www.seadiscovery.com Marine Technology Reporter 43Next Generation ROV simulatorMarine Simulation released the ROVsim2 O&G and ROVsim2 Pro - its new family of next generation under- sea robotics training simulator systems. ROVsim2 reflects an important step in the development of 3D simulation and integrates a number of important new features and enhancements, including:Five new Oil and Gas missions, including two new anchor and suction piling support missions that can be used independently of or fully integrated with Marine Simulation's vSHIP ship simulator. Four new Search and Recovery missions, including an airliner "black box" recorder recovery mission modeled after the recent Air France recovery effort. A variety of new ROV tools, including 7, 5, and 3 function manipulators, cathodic potential (Cp) probe, ultrasonic thickness probe and laser measuring devices. Full serial communications (RS 232, RS422, etc) sup- port so the simulator software can be integrated into cus- tom control consoles and send data to external devices such as chart plotters and instrument displays. Extended support for Windows 7 64 bit operating systems enabling even larger and more complex mission areas than before.

This release takes full advantage of all hardware, including parallel processing and additional memory. Below is a list of addi- tions 64 Bit: NaviModel now automatically takes advan- tage of all CPU's installed in your system, working in par- allel where possible to improve overall performance. In 32 bit, the memory addressing is limited. Now with a 64 bit system, you will make use of additional RAM available. Real-time Terrain Model: A connection to NaviScan can be established to build infinite DTM models online.In the 3D view you will see a point cloud containing a customized amount of incoming scans. The online DTM will update automatically, providing an updated look at your coverage. The online DTM?s can be used for online QC, under keel clearance, immediate hand-out or pro- cessing to the end.Stronger NaviEdit Connection: The NaviEdit graph displays inside NaviModel now comes with built-in edit- ing and filtering tools. The ability to import runlines and pipetracker directly from the NaviEdit database was added.E-mail: eiva@ eiva.dk www.eiva.dk MTR#7 (34-48):MTR Layouts 8/30/2011 10:20 AM Page 43
