Efficient, flexible performance, operational safety, environmental issues and cost targets are became more and more urgent in the crane design system. Thus, a virtual crane prototyping (VCP) system consisting of various sub-systems, such as mechanical part, could be a feasible tool to evaluate multiple design concepts and conduct the trainings with a short time period. In this project, we focus on how to do a virtual prototyping for mechanical part of the marine crane. We aim to develop a library that is a scripting-based and could able to generate a model for 3D visualization and simulation in VCP framework. To establish a library, we seperate the crane into components in a parametric way. The virtual crane assembled with the library could be easy to customization and changed its parameters according to the following simulation's requirements. ; Combined parametric design methods in other research fields such as automobile and aviation; we will develop a parametric design method for modelling marine crane. We focus on the crane's overall operation and those are related with the statics, kinematics mathematics expressions of the crane; based on those expressions we can find the parameters which are basic and independent in the system; use those parameters to create 3D mesh models used for different purpose. ; Parametric mechanical design for systems Integration and simulation of virtual crane offers a novel solution to expend the universe for exploration of design instances for virtual prototyping, in particular as a model for generating parametric designs.
