Iran Unveils Engine Room, Ship Navigation Simulators

Dehqani traveled to Mazandaran province to visit and unveil the engine room and ship navigation simulators.

The ship engine room simulator provides the possibility to simulate different types of ship propulsion systems and auxiliary machinery related to diesel engines, gas turbines, steam turbines and electric engines.

One of the best features of the virtual reality simulator is that it can be connected to the ship's bridge simulator (deck simulator) to be used for holding advanced group management courses.

Also, by using the simulator, all the subjects related to ship mechanics, ship electronics and operations management in emergency situations and different types of fire in the engine room and how to put it out, and various scenarios and troubleshooting can be taught and practiced.

The ability to take tests and assessment to verify the competence of cadets in a completely electronic way is one of the special features of the simulator.

The command bridge simulator is also one of the most important products of the knowledge-based company with the capability to design complex scenarios, provide the images of the most important ports and vessels, and access to all the command bridge modules. It can perform operations related to ship drills, guidance and navigation in different atmospheric and environmental conditions by providing a 210-degree to 360-degree image for the main bridge.

Earlier, in May, another knowledge-based company stationed in Shiraz in the Southern part of Iran had also succeeded in producing simulators for light vehicles, helicopters and airplanes.

“People who are being trained to learn driving can use this simulator to get the necessary training in the face of challenges such as a burst tire or driving on an icy road. Of course, the use of this system should be made mandatory in driving schools to encourage learners to use it," Damon Pour Hosseini, the managing director of the Knowledge-based company said.

He added that his company has also produced other simulators for training learners in driving and flying, riding planes, ships and trains.

"This system has a real schedule that follows a complex algorithm and all commands are processed within 10 milliseconds. For example when you start, you will hear the sound of starting within 10 milliseconds. We have used for the first time in this system the six-degree-of-freedom motion platform."
