Vessel Hull Modeling

 

Hull modeling is carried out using our Bureau Veritas Class approved software namely:

• VeriSTAR Offshore
• Isymost – graphic construction of model
• New Strudl Offshore (NSO) – design of various structure types
• HydroSTAR – for automatic mesh generation
• Ariane - For mooring analysis

In it's true sense VeriSTAR Offshore is essentially a general purpose finite element program specially tailored to cater to the needs of offshore industry.

 

The unique features of the program are:

• Its ability to carry out a hydro-structure coupling analysis
• Enables the designer to carry out a complex coupling analysis based on limited inputs of site specific
  met-ocean data and vessels loading conditions
• Both extreme strength and fatigue analysis can be carried out with relative ease along with the assessment of buckling strength and code checking

Isymost is used extensively to model space frame structures as well as stiffened plated structures. These include:

• Space frame structures of machinery foundations
• Heli deck structures
• Two hold models of ship structures
• Construction of global FEM models of tankers and FPSOs

 

Hydrodynamic and mooring analysis is carried out using HydroSTAR and Ariane.
Unique features of HydroSTAR are:

 

• Ability to carry out multi-body hydrodynamics
• Analysis includes both deep and shallow water applications
• Directional splitting of waves are handled with relative ease
• Generates the RAOs based on which short term and long term values are predicted

 

With Ariane a variety of mooring analysis can be carried out. These include:

• Spread mooring system
• Turret mooring system
• Tandem offloading system
• Ship to Ship (STS) and various configurations involving multi-body system
