PROACTIVE SHOCK MITIGATION: REDUCING INJURY AND IMPROVING PERFORMANCE OF CRAFT AND CREW

Unlike external trim-control systems such as tabs or fins, ballast systems are inherently complicated to retrofit into existing craft, and should therefore be considered from the onset of the design stage. This simulation model has
been developed to assist naval architects who may be unfamiliar with the technology. Here the effect of dynamic ballast upon a 13m Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) is studied, noting the relation between pure trim adjustment versus the addition of mass, the speed of travel, as well as comparing effects at different hull deadrise angles.

Getting Started with Digital Twins

Today, several off-the-shelf digital twin software are available, some of which are specifically targeted to the marine industry. However, the market is still in need of clarity, as there is a lack of
standards relating to the digital twin concept and best practices are not yet fully established. This has led to technical solutions that are both complex and expensive and therefore out of reach for the average SME.

Tackling Complexities in Boat Powering Process with System Simulation

Increasingly complex systems and changing regulations call for modern design methods and tools to be used in the boat powering process. The project team will require access to more product knowledge in the early design stages to avoid expensive errors and changes in the later design stages. Such errors translate into delays and exceeding budget.
