ProteusDS, by DSA Ocean software

The ShipMo3D toolset, integrated within ProteusDS, is designed for naval architects and marine engineers to perform seakeeping and maneuvering analyses during the early stages of ship design. This toolset allows users to analyze ship motion across various sea states by incorporating fundamental ship parameters such as hull geometry, appendages, propeller details, and inertia. It employs frequency-domain seakeeping analysis for rapid performance calculation in diverse conditions and forward speeds. It also facilitates the evaluation of acceleration impacts on crew and equipment using Seakeeping Positions. Time-domain maneuvering tools verify ship control response through maneuvers like zig-zag tests. The 3D potential code ensures accuracy even in non-standard hull shapes. The toolset enables users to compute hydrodynamic effects of forward speed, evaluate stabilizer fin performance, and integrate hull appendages efficiently. ProteusDS, in collaboration with Defence Research and Development Canada, provides a validated engine, ensuring confidence in hydrodynamics and motion results.
