Abstract: Anchor handling simulator (AHS) can provide a good visualization platform for the researchers and the anchor handling trainees, and has important significance on improving the working environment and efficiency. To build the anchor handling simulation platform, the mooring system's dynamics model was established based on Lumped Mass Method(LMM), and the offshore platform and anchor handling vessel's mathematical models were introduced based on the existing technologies in marine simulator. By utilizing the OpenSceneGraph(OSG) scene management engine and applying a series of visualization technologies, realized the simulation of the anchor handling operations, a real-time physical-based anchor handling scene simulation software was generated. The simulation system includes model solving module, scene simulation module and user interface module. The system's testing results show that the simulation effect, real-time and stability all can fulfill the AHS's demand.
