Marine and Shipbuilding

In modern maritime industry, shipbuilders and suppliers face a number of challenges: new technologies must firstly meet the increasing demand on noise, weight and vibration reduction while operating in a reliable and sustainable way. Secondly, ship classification societies require the certification of all materials, components and systems relevant to safe operations and the quality of ships.

 

SimulationX enhances and facilitates the development and the use of high technology in the marine industry. Thereby SimulationX solutions are applied at basic researches in universities, industrial research up to the development of marketable systems.

Fields of application

One of the main application areas is the modeling of complex controlled, mechanical, hydromechanical, electrical and thermo-dynamical systems for the evaluation of the dynamic behavior. An open architecture and a range of transparent, customizable models and libraries provide SimulationX users with the ultimate level of flexibility and user-friendliness. A model library specifically tailored to the needs of the maritime industry includes pre-built elements for steady state simulation and is supported by comprehensive methods e.g. for natural frequencies. Thus, SimulationX facilitates in-depth conclusions on reliability, steady state vibration behavior, and transient processes.

 

 

SimulationX facilitates the quick analysis and reliable evaluation of dynamic system behavior.
