Many tools exist to simulate dynamic systems in the time domain, with different focus and usage areas. The key goals when developing FhSim has been simulation performance, models development and re-usability. The resulting characteristics is the use of C++ for model development, integrated 3D visualisation (which can be disabled) and the need for C++ skills to develop new models.
FhSim provides a common simulation environment in which models can be shared and combined in many different ways. This facilitates re-use, preserves project results, and cuts down on model development costs.
FhSim features a large collection of mathematical models, including ships, trawl nets and doors, net cages, ropes and weight systems, buoys, cables, winches, and anchors.
FhSim can be run on Windows and Linux, as a stand-alone or as an API. It can be coupled with MATLAB/Simulink, and executed via Java (JNI).
Models in FhSim are continuously validated against experimental data through projects employing FhSim as a tool. This ensures realistic model responses.
FhSim is developed with performance and real-time applications in mind. FhSim is used for applications where performance is paramount, such as monitoring (state estimation), control systems (MPC), operational decision support and personnel training in virtual environments.
FhSim features 3D visualization for development, demos, and presentation of results. Alternatively, it can also be run without visualization for maximum efficiency, e.g. when connected to external visualization engines.
