Open Simulation Platform (OSP) is an open-source industry initiative for co-simulation of maritime equipment, systems, and entire ships. OSP intends to provide the maritime industry with key tools and working processes for technical systems engineering, enabling efficient and effective construction and maintenance of digital twins for system integration, testing, and verification.
Using such tools is ramping up in the car and aircraft industries, and it is time for the maritime industry to follow suit. This year’s conference will give you valuable insights into the possibilities OSP can offer. We will showcase state-of-the-art maritime research projects currently underway, give you a look into the forefront of other industries, and serve as a natural meeting point for the community.
