| Integrating Open CASCADE simulation technology opens a new level of reliability in the field of ship design and classification. |
Mission
Create an application which could be used easily and conveniently to verify the compliance of ship design to KR’s "Rules for Classification of Steel Ships" and "Guidelines Relating to Rules for Classification of Steel Ships". |
Solution
Development of SeaTrust-Holdan, specialized software to run various calculations and checks on ships represented with finite element models. The software has been developed with the help of Open CASCADE Technology and its Mesh Framework (OMF).
Subscription to support services to reduce development cycle and to ensure a most efficient implementation.
SeaTrust-Holdan consists of an automatic modeler, finite element solver, and post-processor. It can be interfaced with MSC/NASTRAN software.
