Floating nuclear power in the South China Sea

For many years the value of full scale, hard panel type simulator training has been recognized and adopted by key industries around the world. 

/  Flight simulators are used to train pilots. Nuclear and conventional power plant operators receive training on simulators, as do heavy equipment and oil rig operators. The military is perhaps the largest user.  /

Training experts agree that next to on-the-job experience, simulator training is possibly the most effective educational tool available. This is because it introduces a safe, lifelike and repeatable practice component to the curriculum that is impossible to achieve with other training methods.


Simulator training creates safe environments that allow students to learn by doing. This has proven to achieve long term learning retention rates of 75% - 95%. Simulators are used for rapid training of new equipment or methods, refresher training for experienced workers, training on complex procedures and inside environments that are too dangerous to train in real-life.

3DInternet has adapted the technology used in cinema-grade animation and the computer gaming industry to bring a 3D virtual simulator style of training to the masses. We have developed engines that communicate inside of the virtual simulator that simulate real-life calculations such as electrical, mathematical and plume modeling.


The exciting part is that it’s cost effective at less than 10% of the cost of a full scale physical simulator. The programs are designed to operate on industry standard personal computers so there is no need for expensive and stationary hardware.

The technology is extremely flexible and can be applied to almost any skill or operation. As a PC based program, it can be made available simultaneously to an unlimited number of users in any location. Simulator deployment can be standalone, mobile, LMS connected, VR/AR and networked for multi-user.


A virtual simulator employs a computer simulated animated environment. It can include anything from a small town, to a city, a worksite, a power plant and even underground. Weather and lighting conditions can be set and modified to suit any training conditions.


Some examples of 3DInternet Simulators include Gas Leak Survey Training utilizing real hand-held gas meters while deploying virtual gas leaks, Nuclear power simulation, multi-user Emergency Response for disaster planning, control room operator training (SCADA), motor control and PLC logic, electrical training (power plants, substations, electrical equipment), weld inspection and school safety training.

A 3DINTERNET VIRTUAL SIMULATOR IS PROGRAMMED TO OPERATE IN THREE MODES - LEARNING, PRACTICE AND TESTING MODES.


Learning mode provides the operator with clear step by step prompts or instructions to complete the procedure in a desired sequence. If the operator attempts a step out of sequence or an improper step, a warning is heard and they are allowed to try again.


Practice mode is a selfevaluation tool where the user can repeat the procedure without prompting in order to gauge their level of competency before they move on to testing. The virtual simulator allows the operator to take steps out of sequence or to make improper steps. According to predetermined conditions, specific cause & effect reactions may be programmed into the virtual simulator including random events associated with troubleshooting situations. In some circumstances, such as a minor error the operator may be allowed to proceed. In other situations, such as a critical error, the virtual simulator will show a graphic result of the error and the operator would be required to start over.


A count of the operator’s errors is provided at the completion of each practice sequence but the errors are not reported. An average scenario can be completed in about 10 minutes so it’s easy for users to repeat or review the procedure steps until they are completely comfortable with the exercise.


Testing or certification mode is the same as practice mode but the user is only allowed a specified number of attempts and their results are tracked and reported to a learning management system or other data base.


This report allows instructors to gauge a user’s competence and analyze specific problem areas before they move into field training. The data can also be sorted to identify trends in group results.
