PRISM EMBARKED VISUALISATION SUITE
The Prism Embarked Visualisation Suite (PEVS) is a multifunctional 3D visualisation tool developed by Prism Defence to let users effectively and efficiently assess complex problems, test concepts and visualise operations.
PEVS combines Prism Defence’s data with high-quality 3D models to create a versatile sandbox. PEVS can be used for purposes such as:
- specification compliance
- requirements compliance
- design input
- simulation
Different combinations of ship and helicopter models can be selected in a 3D environment and animated to perform representative tasks or show various flight deck and aircraft configurations.
PEVS provides the following modules:
- The Obstruction Clearance module shows obstruction clearance requirements, based on common standards or bespoke criteria, for the selected landing spot and helicopter combinations.
- The Lashing module lets the user select the various lashing schemes of the helicopter and confirm that proposed tie-down point locations meet requirements at all landing positions and parking locations.
- The Deck Marking module lets the user select from a variety of different deck marking standards that are scaled to match specific helicopter types.
- The Deck Lighting Editor lets the user put lights and other deck objects at the required locations on the deck, superstructure or other defined planes.
To create a complex simulation environment, one module or a combination of modules can be used with the core PEVS functionality and user library. This environment presents an ideal engineering tool for ship–helicopter design and operations.
