Overview of this book

Operator training simulators in the process industry have been around since the 1970s, but you may not find a book that documents the development of these systems and the standard best practices. The Operator Training Simulator Handbook covers best practices for OTS engineering and OTS training development and delivery, starting from the basic the jargon and the different types of OTS systems. It will take you through the best approaches to project specification as well as building, maintenance, planning, and delivering these systems by sharing real-life experiences and dos and don’ts. As you advance, you'll uncover the various challenges in the planning and delivery of operator training models and understand how to address those by working through real-world projects. This book helps in specifying the best fit for purpose, choosing a cost-effective system when acquiring an OTS. You'll also learn how you can turn your OTS projects into digital twins before finally learning all about documentation in a typical OTS project, covering the sample structure that you can use as a starting point in your projects. By the end of the book, you'll have learned best practices for developing operator training simulator systems and have a reference guide to overcome common challenges.

V-model

Over the years (with some pain), the OTS building process has improved for many reasons. Mainly, OTS suppliers have gained experience and some standards have started to be developed so teams don't have to reinvent the wheel every time a new OTS project is executed. Computers becoming more powerful has improved the process for sure. The simulators started becoming more realistic and more reliable.

I have used the well-known V-model in the projects that I have delivered, and this has proven to be very successful. In this chapter, I will explain how this model works and how it can be adapted for OTS projects. For more information, please see the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety software standards 61508-3.

The preceding diagram shows the V-model that I adapted to the OTS build process. The left leg of the V represents a set of written specifications in...
