Need Maritime Motion Simulation Capabilities?
Whether you’re testing communications equipment, sensors, antennas, or other maritime systems, Servos & Simulation can help create a controlled and repeatable marine testing environment.
Sea State Profile Software
Marine Motion Simulation for Sea State Testing Environments
Servos & Simulation Sea State Profile Software enables motion platforms to replicate realistic ocean conditions for testing and validation applications.
The software generates motion profiles corresponding to defined sea conditions, allowing systems to simulate vessel movement and environmental forces with high accuracy.
What Is Sea State Profile Software?
Sea State Profile Software is used to generate motion patterns (sine-waves) that replicate ocean wave conditions, up to Sea State Level 6, depending on system capability.
It provides controlled, repeatable simulation of maritime environments for testing the stability and performance of equipment intended for seaborne use.
