Engineers working on a project for the US Navy at an advanced simulation-based design center are using a mathematical 'virtual ocean' to tests a computer-generated prototype of the largest floating structure ever conceived, a self-propelled military base bigger than ten aircraft carriers. Visualizations of the mobile offshore base (MOB) are presented. The prototype is being used to determine how the mobile floating structure will operate in various sea states. Using ADAMS mechanical simulation software, it has been verified that cargo transfer operations could be performed normally during significant wave heights of 6 ft. Simulations also revealed that cranes could continue to move cargo in the 9-ft waves sea state.
