Research of virtual test platform for marine instrument

Virtual test Platform for marine instrument could provide visualized and interactive simulation solution for the development process. It could be used for virtual test or virtual experiment of mechanical or electro characters of marine instrument. The marine virtual instrument test environment is established combining with data management technology, visualization technologies and corresponding software and hardware system integration technology. Further, the modeling methods of marine instrument virtual model are proposed, including the geometric model, physical model and behavior model. The marine instrument virtual experiment platform prototype is established based on the research of key technologies, and the prototype is verified by using the example of submerged buoy development process of marine hydrodynamic environment monitoring.). © the authors.
