Overview
AVEVA AVP accelerates operational readiness on all types of plant projects. Engineering contractors (EPCs) can optimise plant design for safe and efcient operations from the outset. Owner Operators (OOs) can plan, evaluate, rehearse and train their operators for every type of routine or emergency activity, well in advance of handover. AVEVA AVP is the most effective tool for: facility familiarisation; training; construction, operations and maintenance planning; and the planning and simulation of safety-critical activities. In each case, it achieves this without putting personnel, production output or the plant itself at risk. Personnel can become familiar with remote or unmanned sites prior to attending to maximise their productivity and safety on site. Efciency and understanding can be increased through the advanced planning and rehearsal of tool box meetings, and HAZOP assessments can be performed even before construction is complete. Zero risk minimum cost maximum effectiveness AVEVA AVP enables the training of personnel in the most difcult procedures, in the most hazardous situations, but in perfect safety. Users can practise anything from the simplest inspection walk-around to the most complex maintenance task, either alone or as a team, repeating or refreshing as often as necessary without the costs and risks of personal injury or plant downtime. Use of existing engineering and design data sources makes creating simulations a practical and affordable investment, while using these simulations requires only normal, ofcespecication computers. The ability to train or evaluate operators at any time, in any location and as often as necessary, maximises their effectiveness and reduces opportunities for human error, the leading cause of safety incidents.
AVEVA AVP supports multiple avatar use enabling realistic simulation of collaborative team activity
Key Features
z Accuracy Realistic 3D virtual worlds can be created directly from AVEVA PDMS, AVEVA Everything3D (AVEVA E3D) or third-party 3D design and engineering data, incorporating detailed model textures and shading. The virtual world can contain enhanced geometry models with properties recognised by physics engines for simulation and Industrial Gaming purposes. z Realism The physics engine, either the integrated NVIDIA PhysX engine or another third-party engine, ascribes realistic attributes to avatars and objects, including gravity, mass, solidity of walls and materials . Approximate simulation of certain physical systems, such as rigid body, soft body, and uid dynamics, enables a user to experience the reality of a hazardous or difcult-to -reach environment. z Interactivity Users navigate and interact with the virtual environment either through a direct, rst-person viewpoint, or via controllable avatars that can be directed through the facility as in a video game. Avatars can open doors, climb ladders, jump on and over objects, walk, run, bump into objects, even knock them over; in fact, almost any action that would realistically be required, or that could happen in the real world. Animated avatars can be users in single or multi-person environments, and they can also be equipment, such as forklifts, scissor lifts, cranes and so on. Motion inside the environment is controlled a number of ways; through direct input control of the users own avatar, and through third-party control, such as the other users in multi-person mode. Movement can also be managed through many different types of preprogrammed timelines, including site lighting (day to night), predetermined equipment movement (crane lifts, lorry arrivals), and encapsulated animated sequences initiated by the user (the wheel-rolling and forward movement of a forklift when driven by an avatar). As avatars move throughout the facility, specic actions or environmental factors can be triggered by interactions with visible geometry (boxes, cylinders and so on), and entering invisible geometry (such as predened zones within the model). For example, in response to an avatars triggering, a door can open, a customer user interface can be presented, model elements can be made visible/invisible, lighting can be changed, an animation can be played, or any number of other model application properties can be instantly adapted in line with the applications denitions.
AVEVA AVP supports in-application web browsers for immediate information look-up
z Rapid scenario creation A wide variety of training scenarios, for individuals or multiple users, can be rapidly created by conguring properties such as task difculty and by creating visual guides, task clues and interface displays. Custom graphical user interfaces can be created using any HTML 5 or .NET editing tool. Behaviours of 3D models in a scene can be controlled using timelines or scripts to create a variety of complex actions. These activities can be triggered as an avatar moves through the facility or by the user themselves via GUI elements such as animated valves, levers, forklifts and so on. A multi-user communication server synchronises users behaviour in near real-time, enabling realistic simulation of collaborative team activity. z In-app web browsing The in-application browser can be associated with individual model elements, providing instant information look-up from AVEVA NET or any other data or document management web server, or providing real-time or simulated data from any webenabled data source. Providing links to websites, training manuals or real-time process data can simulate a typical method for an operator to obtain product or work pack information, or to check the current plant status before or during a task.
Real-time shadows and hundreds of lights for scene illumination and visual realism
