Details and Sample Images from the Harvester Personal Simulator

The Instructional Design for Simlog's Harvester Personal Simulator features a total of eight Simulation Modules of increasing difficulty.

Early Simulation Modules introduce basic harvester head functions and knuckle-boom control operations. Later Simulation Modules are dedicated to directional felling, processing stems at the roadside, and finally selective thinning. You can even change the viewpoint during the simulation at the touch of a button.

Simulation Results

Simulation results are automatically saved on your PC to review when you have time. 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!

Sample Images

Here now is a sample image (screen shot) taken from one of the Harvester Personal Simulator simulation modules.

The operator must grapple and fell the tree selected for thinning (with the red band) and then process logs into the decking target (blue rectangle) nearby.

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.
