3Dsolve Develops Final Stage of DPM-3D
Software
Unique Training Simulation Technology
for Complex Environments is Expandable to Support Hundreds
of Simultaneous Participants
CARY, N.C. (March 30, 2007) — 3Dsolve
Inc., The Simulation Learning Company, announced today
that it has completed the final development stage of
its unique DPM-3D (Dynamic Plant Model in 3D) simulation
training software, which 3Dsolve created to provide
a cost-effective training platform for environments
where the timely operation of complex machinery is critical.
DPM-3D supports thousands of dynamic and interactive
objects, including switches, gauges, valves, and indicator
lights, as well special effects such as steam, smoke,
and fire.
“To initially demonstrate DPM-3D’s
capabilities, we created a complex, high fidelity computer-generated
engine room for a naval vessel, which allows a team
of engineers and an instructor to rehearse every conceivable
situation one might encounter during training,”
said Richard Boyd, chief executive officer of 3Dsolve.
“Because of the flexible way in which we designed
DPM-3D, we can now create customized and cost-effective
training environments for almost any complex work environment.”
Each implementation of DPM-3D can be tailored
to reduce costs and to maximize training outcomes. As
one example, a sample power plant training module might
involve one team member turning on a series of pumps,
while another opens and closes a series of simulated
valves to direct the water flow of the cooling system
to the appropriate power equipment. A third team member
can watch the pressure and temperature gauges dynamically
update as the changes are made and the system responds.
By working together, the team is able to achieve the
desired outcome of preventing the system from overheating.
While this is taking place, the instructor is able to
walk around the team in the virtual environment, observing
their actions and interactions, seen or unseen.
“DPM-3D has the potential to significantly
alter how many companies manage their high-end training
processes in the future,” added Boyd. “What
state-of-the-art flight simulators are to the airline
industry today, DPM-3D will become to engineers in naval
vessels, power plants, or any environment where the
optimal use of complex machinery is critical.”
About DPM-3D
3Dsolve’s DPM-3D (Dynamic Plant Model in 3D) is
a high-fidelity collaborative training environment that
communicates with real or simulated equipment. DPM-3D
supports thousands of dynamic and interactive objects,
including switches, gauges, valves, and indicator lights,
as well as special effects such as steam, smoke, and
fire. DPM-3D is expandable to support hundreds of simultaneous
participants.
