Simulation Technology in the Marine Industry
Historic Dockyard, Portsmouth 17 June 2008.
This seminar will show the use of Finite Element Analysis and Computational Fluid Dynamics (both potential flow and viscous RANSE) in the Marine Industry.
Meeting expectations is easier when simulation is utilised early in the process, rather than concurrently with testing or after a physical prototype failure. Tools from the ANSYS simulation suite have been used for:
- Recreational, commercial and military ship hull design
- Propulsion systems for conventional, amphibious and hybrid vessels
- Launch mechanics for offshore drilling rigs
- Fire safety and suppression in vessels
- Deck Equipment & Racing yachts
- Marine Electronics
Topics to be covered include:
- Finite Element Analysis - FEA has become a widely-used tool in the marine industry, allowing engineers to optimise their designs to reduce costs, and lessen the risk of disastrous failures in day to day use. From hull structures to masts, blocks to shackles, the benefits of optimisation are boundless.
- Computational Fluid Dynamics - CFD is an increasingly important tool for analysing flows around vessels and propulsors. It is used to solve a wide range of maritime applications from resistance prediction to slamming load calculation. It can provide important insights into flow characteristics and can offer an economic way to investigate hydrodynamic performance.
- AQWA & ASAS – these leading structural hydrodynamic solutions for the marine industry provide integrated solutions for hydrodynamic analysis enabling engineers to meet the demands presented by the marine industries.
One-to-one sessions with an industry expert will also be available for you to discuss how these solutions can be harnessed within your own company.
Who Should Attend
The seminar is aimed to be an informative and productive day for anyone associated with the marine industry, from Yacht Designers, Consultants, to OEM’s and Suppliers.
You are free to visit either the morning FEA session, the afternoon CFD session – or both!
