Introduction Technical Information
SafeHull Demo   SafeHull User Information

For new construction, SafeHull helps engineers to place material where it is most needed. In existing vessels, SafeHull provides critical evaluation of high stress areas and dominant failure areas from buckling and fatigue.

 

SafeHull allows the user to determine basic hull scantling requirements for tankers, bulk carriers, and container ships. The user can specify stiffener data based on the country of origin.

SafeHull uses the information to model the hull geometry and define the tanks and holds. Portions of the data can be re-entered and re-calculated at any point in the software process, without need to re-key the remaining unchanged information.

SafeHull uses the cumulative data to calculate warping and torsional properties. Many engineers find initial scantling phase of SafeHull adequate for feasibility and economic studies.

Through FEM analysis, SafeHull automatically generates data and identifies tanks in the 3D model. The strength is analyzed using a combination of load conditions and external pressures mimicking full and light drafts. Results are viewable as tabular and colored contour formats.
