SHIP MODELS
SHIP various purpose ships with 6-DoF. These are OWN SHIPS and are controlled from the bridge either with hands-on
controls, or with a trackball from the conning display.
DP SHIP 6-DoF ship models with Dynamic Positioning System (DPS). These are OWN SHIPS and are controlled from
the bridge either with hands-on controls or with a trackball from the conning display and DPS NAVIS IVCS 2002 software at once.
TUG tugs of various power and propulsion plant types with 6-DoF. These are OWN SHIPS and are controlled from the
bridge by using either hands-on controls or the trackball from the conning display.
BARGE non-self-propelled barges with 6-DoF. These can be used as TARGET SHIPS only (individually or within the
groups), towed on the line or pushed in a rigid link.
SHIP TARGET These are TARGET SHIPS which move automatically along the routes plotted in an exercise, or are
controlled by the instructor. Two possible modes of target ships motion are available upon selection in the object properties dialog:
3-DoF (SIMPLE TARGET) mode. This mode is a default one. The ship is not affected by the wind, current or wave drift, and cannot be used for towing or mooring. This mode should be used in order to reduce the model calculations in the conditions where the precision of targets motion is not important; 6-DoF mode. This mode should be assigned manually in the ships properties. The ship is affected by the wind, current and wave drift and can be used for towing and mooring. This mode is recommended for the conditions where the most precise targets motion is required in order to achieve the training objectives.
TUG TARGET - tugs of various power and propulsion plant types with 6-DoF. These are TARGET TUGS and move
automatically along the routes plotted in an exercise or are controlled by the instructor manually. They can automatically execute towing commands, are affected by the wind, current and wave drift.
Development of new ship models which are currently not included in the Transas library is possible upon request. Detailed description of the available ship models collection is contained in a separate specification.
