SimulationX-based Simulation of Offshore Hydraulic Crane Systems with Active Heave Compensation and Anti-sway Control

Abstract

In this master thesis project, an offshore hydraulic crane was been modeled and simulated. 3D model of the crane was made in siemens NX8.5 then converted to simulationX. Hydraulic system includ active heaven compensation and anti-sway also were designed based on simulationX. Through the simulation of the model, one can study the performance of the hydraulic systems during crane operations. AHC algorithm was developed based on kinematics solving method. Anti-sway control algorithm was proposed based on energy dissipating method.
