Abstract

Modern ship simulators enable simulations of reality using available environment and ship models. When choosing a specific vessel from a catalogue, however, it is not always immediately apparent as to how true a simulation is to the original vessel. Its makers are required only to have software certificates, which does not ensure the exact modelling of a ship in the simulation. This paper presents research in continuation of previous work presenting a general methodology for the evaluation of the degree of accuracy of a simulated ship model compared to its real-world counterpart. In this paper, the results are shown of a comparative analysis based on actual measurements with the use of one of the methods of multi-criteria analysis. Furthermore, the methodology for the construction of ship models is presented. The paper concludes with a test verifying the accuracy of the assumptions.
