Abstract

This paper, which was presented at an Ordinary Meeting of the Institute held in London on 19 November 1980 with the President in the Chair, first outlines the arguments for simulators for use in training and research. The technical problems encountered in simulating ship behaviour are discussed, and the various engineering approaches which have been used for actual simulator construction are described. An account is given of experience to date with ship simulators in the UK, and the future prospects for marine application of simulator methods are discussed.
