Abstract： In order to solve the trivial problems in the hydraulic control system design of subsea production，the technology of AMESim's hydraulic simulation and Visual Basic software designing were investigated. After the analysis of the working principle of the system and its components，the relationship between software designing and methodology of the system was established，and the development of the simulation system was raised. The library development of subsea hydraulic components with the help of AMESim was achieved in specificity of simulation. Referred to the aided software designing with Visual Basic，the process control in the subsea production system simulation was succeeded，which covers the computation of required standard based on the users' input and loads the parameters into the simulation system in AMESim automatically. The test result for the assistant software in one project of CNOOC indicates that the software provides a convenient platform for designers of subsea production system with friendly interface and clear operation.
