What is integrated ship design and marine engineering?
Avoid obstacles of the traditional ship design process which involves numerous teams using disconnected tools, leading to delays in data sharing and inefficient collaboration. Use an integrated design and engineering approach to bring all your multidisciplinary design processes into one integrated environment, empowering your organization to break down silos and increase overall enterprise productivity.
Rethink your ship design process
Leveraging an integrated design approach allows you to understand and explore every aspect of ship performance from the early stages of design, leading to reduced delivery times and lifecycle costs. Take control of your ship design process with fully integrated solutions.
30% Increased fuel efficiency
Leverage automated workflows and computational fluid dynamics simulations to reduce fuel consumption by 30%. (BAR Technologies)
$3M Fuel savings
Achieve annual fuel savings of up to $3 million per ship using powerful computational fluid dynamics simulation software. (DNV)
20% Reduced testing time
Reduce testing time by 20% using 3D simulation tools. Shorten the test cycle and save money with virtual prototyping. (Brabant Engineering)
Digitalize your ship design process
Improve cross-domain collaboration and ensure that everyone is working with the most up-to-date data. Provide teams with the tools they need to create the best design on schedule.
Explore the three keys paths necessary to digitalize your ship design process and discover integrated solutions for each:
Manage the mechanical, electrical and software features of the product in a single collaborative environment — across all design stages — using a comprehensive digital twin.
With multidisciplinary design you can:
- Reduce ship design time and time to market
- Minimize the risks of delays, cost overrun or quality issues
- Reveal potential design errors or incompatibilities earlier
Improve business agility with a data backbone connecting design processes. Seamlessly handle cross-domain data and bill of materials management through design and into construction.
With cross-domain integration you can:
- Retrieve valuable insight from the right data at the right time
- Break down silos with seamless process execution and fully integrated solutions
Discover better designs faster using simulation for performance analysis and optimization from the very start of the design process.
With simulation-driven design you can:
- Understand, explore, test and optimize any aspect of ship performance, from individual components to the full ship system
- Explore a wide range of designs and gain confidence in real-world performance
- Create innovative, sustainable ship designs that satisfy both customer requirements and stricter global recommendations
