Core Hydrodynamic Capabilities

01

Diffraction & Radiation

Evaluate wave excitation forces and added mass/damping coefficients for large floating structures.

02

Mooring Line Optimization

Design and analyze anchoring systems to restrict motion and prevent drift under harsh environmental conditions.

03

Dynamic Stability

Calculate the Response Amplitude Operators (RAOs) to predict precise structural movement in 6 Degrees of Freedom.

Core CFD Capabilities

01

Aerodynamics & Drag

Calculate lift, drag, and pressure distribution over complex geometries like vehicles, wind turbines, and aerospace components.

02

Conjugate Heat Transfer

Simulate complex thermal interactions between solids and fluids. Perfect for heat sinks, electronics cooling, and HVAC systems.

03

Internal Flows & Pipes

Optimize pressure drop, velocity profiles, and mixing behavior inside manifolds, valves, and industrial pipe networks.
