Marine - Optimization

Award-Winning Optimization Technology for Efficient Marine Design

Marine engineers can derive optimum solutions that meet design requirements with the minimum possible material mass and welding effort. This results in a ship that is less expensive to manufacture and maintain.

  • Create efficient vessel and structure design using topology optimization to lead to mass-optimized designs with better stress distributions and longer fatigue life

  • Optimize the thickness of steel plates and size of plate stiffeners automatically across the whole ship using size and shape optimization

  • Reduce weld lengths and fabrication cost through structural optimization

  • Improve performance by optimizing parameters for stability and hydrodynamics.

  • Quickly determine optimum composite ply layups and orientations for navy vessel and boat structures
