Ship Structural Analysis as an integral part of the entire design process

SimFWD provides to customers integrated design and engineering services in Maritime / Offshore and Shipbuilding projects of different types and size. Our range of services starts from the concept idea until the ship is put in service and continues through life-cycle service as maintenance, repair and conversion.

We have the ability to address all steps of the Ship Design and engineering processes with high quality. Concept Design is the starting point of the project where we define main characteristics with the aid of state of the art software and statistical databases. Basic Design is then developed according to national and international rules and verified by advanced engineering analyses. Detailed Design comprises all engineering and construction documentation for the Shipyard. Finally, Engineering Management services include supervision, management, budgeting and operational works of the project assuring quality and schedule.

Engineering Services include Ship Structural Analysis, Ship Hydrodynamic Analysis, etc.

As FEM consultants, we also offer a wide range of services in the field of Computer Aided Engineering (CAE). In a recent webinar on 26th October 2016, SimFWD Engineering Services, Greece presented Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations of a modern Ropax bare-hull-form resistance. The main goal is to assess the resistance reduction in the most efficient and reliable engineering CFD workflow. The work performed is a meticulous examination of the mechanics of running NUMECA FINE™/Marine simulations in an UberCloud software container and to assess the performance of the cloud compared to resources currently used by SIMFWD. The benchmark is analyzed on local hardware, on virtual instances in the cloud, and on the bare-metal / container cloud solution offered by cloud provider CPU 24/7 and UberCloud.

The webinar put forward a process that ensures seamless, quick, easy-to-use workflow in your ship design providing high performance & accurate output and a considerable reduction of engineering and development time and cost.

SimFWD also has several years of experience using LS-DYNA for Static and Dynamic Analyses with special expertise in the field of Passenger Safety in Crash Simulations.
