Finite element analysis of ship structures

The combination of Nauticus Hull’s Rule Check calculations and the world-leading finite element analysis capabilities of Sesam for fixed structures provides ship designers and approval engineers with a complete software solution for the entire design and approval process.

Sesam for fixed structures interacts with Nauticus Hull using the model data as a starting point for cargo hold analysis. The loads, boundary conditions and corrosion addition from Nauticus Hull are automatically re-used in Sesam for fixed structures.

Sesam for fixed structures represents the latest-generation design and analysis software for maritime and offshore structures. With its concept modelling techniques, Sesam allows engineers to focus on the structure, loads and environmental conditions, rather than on nodes and elements. Combined with strong features for 3D visualization and advanced automated meshing, this significantly reduces the time spent on modelling and documentation and provides efficient verification.
