Caepro is working closely with manufacturers and naval architects to bring advanced
automotive analysis techniques to boat design. This is helping to produce more efficient
designs with less weight, increased stiffness and improved durability.
One of the major differences between marine and automotive CAE is the choice of
materials. Caepro has extensive experience in performing stress analyses with a
range of plastic and composite materials including GRP.
- Stiffness of flybridge structures
- Stress analysis of support structures
- Weight/cost down of stainless steel components
- Weight down through reduction of steel/aluminium support structures where GRP structure
sufficient
- Hydrodynamic drag of hull
