Physics-based simulation enables users to produce
virtual prototypes, realistically simulating the behavior
of complex systems on computers and quickly analyzing
multiple design variations until an optimal design is
achieved. At SBDC, we have successfully shown that:
- Designers can test an idea under many conditions
quickly and easily, saving time and money.
- Clients can avoid costly mistakes by catching design
flaws at the virtual prototyping stage.

Samples
To request more information or a CD of
the complete visual simulation of any sample below, please
email info@gcrmtc.org
and specify "physics-based simulation for [client]
of [a brief description of the sample]". |

Client: McDermott Shipbuilding, Lynchburg
In this physics-based mechanical simulation, a 40-foot
tractor trailer is unloaded from a
cargo ship onto a mobile offshore base while the ship
is rocked in a virtual ocean by
eight-foot waves.

Client: McDermott Shipbuilding, Lynchburg
The work done on the left involved a physics-based
simulation of a crane lifting a 16 metric ton container
from the deck of a ship docked next to a mobile offshore
base located within a virtual ocean in waves stretching
eight feet high.
