A short description

Everysim® is a cloud based simulation solution that allow commissioning of simulation models to the cloud. Everysim® supports six main functions:

1 - Dynamical modelica models

2 - Graphical model interfaces

3 - Real time acceleration

4 - Scenario based education

5 - Student progress follow-up

6 - User interaction through a web browser on device of choice.

Dynamical models are built and compiled in Dymola using the modelica language. The graphical use interface is built up in Inkscape™ mainly using a predefined graphical .svg object library that is supplied with everysim. A distributed shared memory (DSHM) is used for storing and exchanging values, synchronising data exchange, and allowing the user to accelerate or decelerate simulation speed. All files required to generate an Everysim® simulation are easily moved to the cloud using drag and drop from a local repository directly into the web browser. The built in possibilities to design operators training scenarios directly in the web browser in Everysim® can be applied in process training. Each simulation run is saved and stored for later evaluation regarding results for each user/student.

Everysim® architecture

Everysim® is a fully cloud-based application where the website, storage and cloud services are all placed in Azure. Each user work through the webbsite everysim.se and will get a dedicated cloud service, instance, when an exercise is allocated. When an exercise starts the graphical objects (svg-format) will be uploaded on the client and the simulation model will be loaded into the dedicated cloud service. Each user will require a cloud service, an instance, with the exercise which enables a smooth capacity scalability of the solution, e.g addition of new users. The communication between the client and the cloud service uses Websocket in order to manage connection and enabling interaction for thousands of triggers in the simulation model. Communication speed is a crucial aspect of everysim where real-time simulations are required in order to achieve a realistic operator feedback.

Since Everysim® is a web application scalability is inherent. Adding new users is very easy and fast and do not require hardware upgrades. All changes in the simulation solution are managed in one place and updates are pushed through the environment to all users at once.

Gamification in web based dynamical simulations

At Swedish universities future process engineers and process developers are educated in master programs targeting specific branches of the industry, e.g. pulp and paper. Learning the fundamental dynamics of both unit processes and larger process sections encounter in the industry are of high importance for the students
