The first training simulator has been tailored and delivered to the customer Adani. The simulator is transportable but still simulates all relevant aspects in detail.
From start-up, to cutting the soil and pumping the sand-water mixture, the operator practices operations under various conditions and learns how different settings influence the performance of the dredger.
The simulator is based on a detailed physics model of the dredge which includes the hydraulic pumps, winches, anchor cables, spud poles and cutter head.
This model is coupled to a ground model that contains the soil properties and allow dredging under various soil conditions.
