Expertise in "Structural Hull Analysis" is essential in sectors where structural strength and reliability are paramount, particularly in the shipbuilding, aerospace, energy, and construction industries.

Hull and structural analysis encompasses all the analyses and calculations required to ensure the robustness, durability, and compliance of structures under mechanical, thermal, and environmental stresses.

Calculation & Design of Naval Structures, Ship Hulls

  • Local or global reinforcements of existing hulls for ship modifications or conversions,

  • Definition and overall design of a hull for a new ship,

  • 2D and 3D linear and nonlinear analytical calculations, elasticity, buckling, and fatigue,

  • Complete global finite element models, local models with fine meshing, 

  • Deterministic and spectral fatigue analysis,

  • 3D model design, extraction, and creation of 2D drawings for the shipyard.
