WSC — Classroom & Part-Task Simulation

World-class training simulators right at home in the classroom

3KEYMASTER™ delivers a full range of training options for classroom and lab environments — from assistance-rich Mentor Mode to life-like Test Mode — complementing generic, custom, and full-scope simulators with structured lessons for beginners and experts alike.

3KEYITS™ Training Modes

Adaptable Guidance for Every Learner

The 3KEYITS™ product can complement any generic, custom, or classroom simulator with lesson plans designed to enhance simulator use for both beginners and experts — adapting the level of guidance to the complexity of the lesson and the needs of the student.

🎓
Mentor mode

Assistance-rich guided learning — ideal for beginners and initial familiarization with plant systems and procedures.

📋
Practice mode

Structured practice with reducing guidance — building operator confidence and procedural fluency at an appropriate pace.

⏱️
Test mode

Life-like examination environment with no assistance — replicating real operator assessment conditions for experienced students.

Classroom Simulator

Flexible, Multi-Seat Training Environments

Classroom simulators are designed to meet teaching objectives in a classroom or training lab environment — used in conjunction with first-principles engineering education or to complement full-scope simulator training. A classroom simulator can optimize full-scope simulator utilization by scheduling specific training modules on the classroom system instead.

Configuration
Single or multi-simulator platform

A classroom simulator can be structured to use one simulator software or multiple simulators on the same platform — based on the needs of the user.

Scale
Unlimited seats

An unlimited number of seats — each running the simulator independently or in cooperation with other students on different or identical lesson plans simultaneously.

Optimization
Full-scope simulator complement

Optimizes the use of expensive full-scope training simulators by offloading specific training modules to the classroom simulator — maximizing access for all students.

Education
First-principles integration

Can be used in conjunction with first-principles based engineering education — bridging theory and practical plant operation for engineering students.

🖥️
The 3KEYMASTER™ Instructor Station has been enhanced with a 3KEYCLASS environment — allowing the instructor to switch attention to one student or a group of students independently of others, providing focused monitoring and intervention within a multi-seat classroom setting.
Part-Task Simulators

Engineering-Grade Analysis of Complex Systems

Part-task simulators are designed to analyze, predict, or optimize the performance of complex systems under varying operating conditions or fault scenarios. Other than physical testing — which could be prohibitively expensive or physically damaging — engineering-grade simulation is the only cost-effective method to perform these tasks.

Part-task simulator applications & systems
Focused simulation incorporating only the specific systems relevant to the engineering objective

Part-task simulators incorporate components, equipment, and machinery used in conjunction with targeted systems — enabling precise analysis without the overhead of a full-scope simulator build.

Engineering applications
Conceptual studies Design analysis & optimization Process parameters & equipment sizing Efficiency improvements Root cause analysis Failure Modes & Effects Analysis Redundancy analysis Probabilistic Risk Assessment
Systems modeled
Fluid systems Thermal systems Electrical systems Fuel & combustion Nuclear systems Control systems DCS
