Hulls

A fundamental concern of naval architects is storms and the extreme stress they put on a ship's structure. Engineering simulation during the design phase of these vessels can decrease risk and deliver greater structure integrity, while at the same time delivering a design that meets market demands.  All of ANSYS' structural analysis tools can be used to help achieve this goal.

In addition, computational fluid dynamics tools from ANSYS provide capabilities including turbulence and free surface models to assist in improving stability and increasing speed.
