How do you optimize 1000+ ton steel structures or reduce hull resistance under time pressure? When the yard is waiting and the ship is idle, there’s no room for trial and error. We need a way to move fast — and still deliver optimized results that meet every design demand.
At Realize LIVE Europe 2025, Erwin Put will share how Vuyk Engineering Rotterdam tackles that challenge using Simcenter HEEDS.
Key takeaways
This session will showcase two examples how we put Simcenter HEEDS to use in such a hectic environment: with weights exceeding 1000 ton for large steel support construction for transport of Offshore Wind Turbine components, a weight reduction reduces CAPEX but also increases the workability of an installation vessel.
Hull resistance is one of the main factors driving fuel consumption of a vessel. While resistance is only one variable, other design criteria have to be met as well. Vuyk has found a way to reduce resistance while making sure that all other design criteria are met.
