ADDRESSES THE PAIN POINTS OF THE DISCIPLINE
Navigating the highly specific challenges of subsea engineering, ROV access checks and design reviews can be particularly time-consuming and tedious. The problem is compounded when working with large CAD models.
Current solutions often mean choosing between working with limited portions of the model or suffering from degraded computer performance.
PaleBlue Subsea Access Simulator employs best-in-class CAD import and rendering technology, and intelligent model optimization; effortlessly handling complex models without sacrificing fidelity or performance. Clients can see a 3-fold increase in productivity.
Access Checks
Load CAD model of the subsea equipment and customize the ROV for access check simulation
Design Review
Verify designs in the simulator and iterate with CAD engineers
COLLABORATION AND REPORTING
Easy workflow for team collaboration and smooth report and video export for client reviews
