Algoryx customer SMSC claims first DNV-certified crane simulator

Training – September 27, 2013
The Ship Modelling & Simulation Centre (SMSC) in Norway says it is the first organisation in the world to have an offshore crane simulator certified in accordance with the DNV class A standard.

“Numerous new features, exceeding the DNV requirements, have been implemented in our crane simulators. The simulators are type designated as ‘Offshore Crane’ and ‘Subsea Crane’. The ‘Joint Training’ simulator course involving platform supply vessel navigators and offshore crane operators is also gaining popularity.” Read More →


About Algoryx Simulation

Algoryx was established in 2007 and has quickly positioned itself as a leading provider of industrial-grade real-time physics simulation to the global training simulator market. Algoryx’ history goes back much further however, to the mid 90’s when the founders of Algoryx created the very first human-in-the-loop-simulators for heavy ground vehicles utilizing real-time physics simulation fully integrated with 3D graphics. This was also when the term “physics engine” was coined for the software framework that encapsulates these technologies. AgX Dynamics is today the leading real-time physics engine for the global simulator and simulation market, in particular for the off-shore, maritime, automotive, robotics, and mining markets. More recently, Algoryx has also entered the CAD/CAE market and now also provides interactive physics to engineers and designers.
