Global Maritime is pleased to announced the release of OPSIM 5.0 - the latest release of our strategic planning tool designed to provide event-based simulations for project optimization and cost reduction.
OPSIM 5.0 offers a significant enhancement in speed and the completion of the "complex types" feature, now referred to as "assets". Additionally, there are two new tutorials related to this update. One tutorial introduces assets and asset views in the context of calculating storage requirements. The other tutorial demonstrates the failure and maintenance features concerning wind farm maintenance, along with calculating instantaneous power generation.
As the offshore industry faces a significant transformation, driven by advancements in in technology and the need for more efficient and sustainable operations, OPSIM 5.0 represents a significant advancement in offshore operations and maintenance software. The latest release equips users with powerful tools to optimize their operations, improve efficiency, and ensure the reliability of their maritime assets
Key Features of OPSIM 5.0:
-
Substantial Speed Increase: OPSIM 5.0 delivers a significant increase in simulation speed, enabling users to perform complex simulations more efficiently and reduce the time required for analysis and decision-making.
-
Introduction of 'Assets': The new feature allows users to represent real-world objects with unique properties and system states, enhancing the ability to model and manage various maritime components, from ships to offshore structures.
-
Asset Views: Perform complex operations on asset collections, such as summing values from a subset of assets that meet specific criteria. This functionality is invaluable for managing storage requirements and optimizing resource allocation.
-
Asset State Trees: Define systems and distributions of failure rates, essential for modelling maintenance schedules and predicting system availability. This feature supports tasks such as wind farm maintenance and instantaneous power generation calculations.
Available as an annual license or bundled with our bespoke consultancy services, OPSIM 5.0 offers unparalleled guidance and assurance from over 350 engineers, architects, mariners, and experts.
Originally developed to support the specialist consultancy services provided by GM, OPSIM has now become a widely used tool across the maritime sector. Its demand has surged particularly within the offshore wind sector, where its capabilities have proven invaluable, as evidenced within the below feedback provided by some of our valued clients who have experienced the benefits of the software firsthand:
“Since the implementation of OPSIM here at Corio, there has been significant utilisation across our global portfolio of projects. The software is now fully integrated and delivering exceptional results. We have also received unparalleled support from the GM team,” stated Jordan Page, Marine Manager (Offshore Construction) at Corio Generation.
“Having trialed OPSIM, we have been very pleased with the results and the flexibility of the software.” Benoit Dromard T&I Lead, BlueFloat Energy. “Identifying and mitigating potential risks early on in the project phase is key and OPSIM can be a useful tool in this analysis.”
“OPSIM will play a key role during our early-stage evaluation of projects’ stated Pilar Crespo, Head of Offshore Installation at Ocean Winds. “It will enable us to determine key and fundamental aspects that allow onward development”.
