| Maneuvering and performance prediction |
With FutureShip's modular and flexible workbench, FS-Equilibrium, we perform analysis of floating rigid body equilibrium conditions and motions for up to 6 degrees of freedom. Depending on the application the steady state equilibrium is computed when conducting performance and velocity predictions. In addition the transient mode of the program integrates the nonlinear differential equation of motion and computes the trajectory of your vessel. This can be utilized to simulate the behavior of your vessel during maneuvering scenarios.
With this tool we are able to answer your questions regarding your vessel's performance and dynamic behavior. Typical applications of maneuvering simulations and performance predictions include: Maneuvering simulation of different types of vessels such as ships, submarines, airships, planes and high performance sailing yachts; advanced performance and velocity prediction of high performance racing yachts and a performance prediction of other (partially) wind powered vessels. The case study of a maneuvering simulation, performance prediction and flow simulation tool for IACC yacht shows a sample project where FS-Equilibrium has successfully been utilized. |
