Use of simulation and animation models in the new millennium
Published in Tad S. Golosinski, Mining in the New Millennium Challenges and Opportunities, 2020
Another new application of simulation and animation models is their use with high-quality WEB-based simulation. This is an area still in its infancy but one that can be expected to become more developed in the near future.

VP provides the user with a lot of possibilities for design exploration, system optimisation, verification, and risk-free simulation of critical operations like active heave compensation. One of the major challenges is the interfacing of various domain models and simulation tools that are currently used for very good reasons. The web-based prototyping and simulation tool for maritime winch system design and operations is developed based on the application of the FMI co-simulation standard. The FMI co-simulation standard allows for efficient simulation coupling, particularly, of complex multi-domain dynamic systems that require intensive computations of the simulation models in real time. As a result, models with different domain-specialized simulation tools from different users can be used, reused and interconnected. Web-based simulation management and visualisation is effectively connected to different clients through the WebSocket protocol and turns the web browser into a powerful visualisation vehicle. This provides the user, specifically, the designers, system engineers and customers, a convenient tool during early design phases. Models with fully integrated physics are developed and simulated. It is shown that co-simulation is an effective and efficient approach for distributed simulation of complex systems.
