The instructional design for
Simlog's Mobile Crane Personal Simulator features
six Simulation Modules
of increasing difficulty designed, in part, to help operators prepare for
CCO certification.
Early Simulation Modules introduce the basic crane motions associated with moving hookblocks, then loads, while controlling sway. Later Simulation Modules add obstacles and load charts, to end with "zigzag" trajectory following exercises. You can even change the viewpoint during the simulation at the touch of a button. |
Instructional Design
Keeping Track of Simulation Results |
Simulation Results
Simulation results are automatically saved on your PC. To make the record-keeping even easier, the same results can also be saved in a single database when using Simlog's Simulation Manager. With this helper product, you can create individual "accounts" for your simulator users with distinct login names and passwords, and group them into "classes". (The same database can be used with all of our products.) In both cases, keeping track is easy!
Note that the name of the Simulation Module and the trial number (simulation exercise) are displayed in the header of the simulation window at the top left. |

In the first screenshot, taken from an introductory module,
there is a small, vertical, "height bar"
(shown in yellow with a blue cursor) used by the simulator
to measure undesired up/down motion of the hookblock as it moves
over the target on the ground.

Here is an image from a more advanced module
designed to test load chart knowledge while
executing lifts using various loads and hook-block assemblies;
the target position for the load is shown in red "wire-frame".
The load-moment indicator is coloured green, showing that operation
is well within the load chart limits for this crane.

Finally, here is an image from one of the last simulation modules about
trajectory following, simulating concrete pouring into wooden
forms of various "zigzag" shapes.
Note the presence of a small, horizontal, "distance" bar
(shown in green with a blue cursor) used by the simulator
to provide an additional visual cue of the position of the
concrete pour over the form.
