A database of past model tests is made available to the designer which helps in estimating the power requirements within a safe range so as to make easy the choice of machinery.
The efficiency of the hull design stands vindicated by the power of the ship engine. A poor hull design necessitates the use of powerful engines to make good the design deficiencies which leads to cost escalations. With the engine being the nerve center of the ship, it becomes critical to accurately estimate the engine power to render a ship efficient and to optimize it for the desired contract speed at a specified trim, draught and power.
The software designed by GreenSHIP allows for importing of Hull Designs and based on analytical and empirical methods can calculate within a matter of few seconds the most ideal engine power. Going a step forward, the software also uses numerical methods to numerically analyze the hull for greater accuracy in results.
