LASSO – Lunar Architecture Stochastic Simulator and Optimizer

The Lunar Architecture Stochastic Simulator and Optimizer (LASSO) is a simulationbased capability, based upon discrete event simulation (DES), for evaluating and optimizing flight element options for lunar transportation architectures. This simulation capability improves the ability to rapidly measure cost, reliability, and schedule impacts of various toplevel architecture decisions and individ...

HELIOS - Heidelberg Laparoscopic Intervention and Operation Simulator

Das HELIOS Phantom (Heidelberg Laparoscopic Intervention and Operation Simulator) stellt ein menschennahes Phantom mit einem Torso aus Kunststoff und Organen aus Silikon auf der Basis einer Computertomographie eines Patienten dar. Das Phantom dient als Evaluationsplattform für sämtliche Belange in der computerund roboterassistierten Chirurgie, des Weiteren ist es als Trainingsphantom für die la...

Tarasht Power Plant Pc-based Simulator Implementation Turbine Case Study

Economical operation of large scale systems like a power plant depends on the plant operators and their skills. There are some specific training courses which are presented by experts for the operators, but the operators need to experience in their own way. A methodology for increasing skills of the operators with less cost is to use power system simulators. The TARASHT power plant simulator ha...

About the importance of auditory alarms during the operation of a plant simulator

An experiment was carried out to estimate the effect of auditory alarms on the work of an plant operator in the context of a computer simulation. We designed our process simulator so that each of eight machines ('numeric controlled' (NC) or 'computer numeric controlled' (CNC) robots) made tones to indicate its status over time. Each tone was designed to reflect the semantic of the actual break ...
