Validation Without Prototyping
A Technology Race
faster time to market and reduced development costs
Marine, Naval, Fishing and Boating Industries
Why is this the differentiator for the Marine Industry?
In this rapidly expanding and increasingly competitive market, modern engineering tools such as CAE can make a significant difference. Designing a ship and interconnecting its related systems and subsystems is a challenging endeavor. Shipbuilders are required to reduce operational costs, satisfy key environmental guidelines and implement new, disruptive technologies such as autonomy and digitalization, without compromising safety and security. Simulation simplifies and expedites this process.
Proven Customer Value:
“Using engineering simulation makes it possible to evaluate many more designs, resulting in a substantial improvement in performance. At the same time, the lower cost and shorter lead times for simulation provide faster time to market and reduced development costs.”
Let’s look for our typical Marine projects and capabilities:
- Hydrodynamics
- Ship hulls
- Submarines
- Yacht hulls, keels
- Appendages
- Other underwater systems
- Towed sonar arrays

- Heat transfer
- Fuel Cells
- Wave slam
- Flooding in Ro-Ro ferries
- Cavitation
- Torpedoes
- Sloshing in tanks
- Submarine Reactors
- Structural vibrations
- Electromagnetic Interference and Compatibility (EMI/EMC)
Twin-Hulled Offshore Ship
Wet Deck Slamming in Irregular Sea Waves
Sloshing in tanks!
- reduce noise levels
- reduce stresses on the structure
- optimize the baffle arrangements
- account for dynamics effects during sudden start/stop
Sloshing has widespread applications in many industries including automotive, aerospace, ship building and motorcycle manufacturing. The goal of sloshing simulation is to first study the sloshing pattern and then improve the tank design.
