Since the ocean is an important reserve base for modern oil and gas resources, the reserves of offshore oil and gas resources have increased by more than 2 times from shallow water, deep water to ultra-deep water, and the development of deep-water and ultra-deep water oil and gas resources has gradually become a global focus. The use of oil production reserve equipment puts forward higher requirements. Remotely controlled underwater robot (ROV) plays an important role in the installation and use of offshore structures and equipment. ROV is responsible for observing the installation status, inspecting the installation area, releasing and recovering tethered cables during the installation phase of structures and equipment and responsible for monitoring underwater equipment and operating deep water underwater equipment during the production process. Due to the complex underwater environment, it has become a major problem to safely and efficiently control ROVs and complete tasks. In order to improve operating efficiency and reduce the risk of equipment damage, the present invention invented a simulation platform for a six-degree-of-freedom ROV operating system.
The existing ROV simulation and operation simulation systems have the following deficiencies: 1. Limitations of operating scenarios: in the simulation module of the existing system, the
ROV and the local operating environment are the main body for ROV simulation and control. The operating scenarios are limited to the ROV and its surrounding waters, while the actual ROV operations comprise water surface and underwater various structures in both scenarios.
2. Lack of influencing factors for ROV operations: the factors affecting ROV operations in the existing ROV simulation and operation simulation systems only comprise cables, 794656 manipulators, and ocean currents, but in actual operations, ROV operating systems also comprise mother ships, umbilical cables, and mooring management systems (TMS) and mooring lines, environmental factors also comprise waves and winds encountered by the mother ship, and currents encountered by the repeater. 3. Unrealistic ROV motion response: due to the lack of factors such as water surface scene, mother ship and TMS in the existing ROV simulation and operation simulation systems, it is impossible to simulate the influence of mother ship movement in wind and waves on underwater TMS and ROV.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The complex TMS and ROV are discretized with rod elements in the same size to simulate the deployment and recovery process. Each rod element has the hydrodynamic coefficient of the discrete structure, comprising drag coefficient and inertial force coefficient. Considering the change of the structure coefficient with the immersion depth and motion frequency, the hydrodynamic forces such as wave force, resistance and slamming force of the rod element are calculated by Morrison equation, and motion of the structure is calculated by the time-domain dynamic model. The method takes into account the interference of immersion depth and construction on local or global hydrodynamics,
and more accurately calculates the time-frequency dynamic response of the TMS and the

In order to verify the validity and effect of the method of the present invention, an example is given to illustrate, wherein the example comprises the following steps: 1.

After the system is started, the trainer operates the instructor control system to input the atmospheric and marine environment of the ROV operating sea area, determine the initial position and attitude of the mother ship, the ROV, and the TMS, and arrange operational tasks including parameter settings for training scenarios, underwater man- made structures, and training time, then start to run the ROV operation simulation platform, combined with the display system to monitor the ROV simulation training process. During the ROV operation simulation process, the instructor can pause, continue, and end the simulation as needed, or set up emergencies such as sudden changes in the ocean and atmospheric environment, and equipment failures in the ROV operation system.
3. According to the instructions of the instructor, the sea breeze module establishes the wind field, waves, and currents of the ROV operating sea area through the wave module, 994856 wave module, and sea current module, and obtains the wind speed distribution time history, wave elevation time history, and flow velocity distribution time history, and the data are transmitted to the response module in the simulation platform calculation system.

After the trainer issues the command to start the simulation, the driver controls the A- shape frame to release the umbilical cables through the ROV control system and the umbilical cable retraction system. After the ROV and TMS reach the predetermined depth of the task, the driver uses the ROV body control module and the tether retraction control module to control the ROV movement and the TMS to release the tether. When the ROV reaches the vicinity of the underwater target, the driver uses the manipulator control module to control the movement of the manipulator to complete the underwater operation.
After the task is completed, the driver retrieves the heaving piles, ROV and TMS through the ROV control system. During the simulation process, the driver observes the surrounding environment of the ROV through the ROV visual module. 6.
