Abstract
For the purpose of modeling and visualizing the mooring system of Anchor Handling Simulator (AHS), this paper constructed the dynamics model of mooring system on the base of lumped mass method. Because of the non-linearity of the dynamics equations, the analytic solutions of the equations could not be found. So the numerical method was determined to be used in calculating the model. By calculating the model, the positions and force information of all the lumped mass points in the mooring system can be obtained. Billboard technology was applied when mapping texture to the chain and work wire, and accordingly realized the visualization of the mooring system. Additionally, by applying a series of other visualization technologies, this paper realized the dynamic simulation on the anchor handling procedure of Anchor Handling Vessel (AHV).
