Maximize vessel performance

MAXSURF

Visualize and optimize vessel designs with the complete set of naval architecture tools in MAXSURF. Create fair hull shapes, comply with stability requirements, minimize power requirements, and ensure crew and passenger comfort in varying sea states. Minimize structural weight while ensuring scantling compliance through initial modeling and stress analysis of beam and plate structures.
MAXSURF helps you redefine design excellence for any size vessel. Choose the version that fits your project needs:
• MAXSURF Advanced – Design, analyze, and optimize all types of marine vessels. Free your creativity with fast and convenient modeling of complex vessels using dynamically trimmed 3D NURB surfaces. Flexible data import, mesh modeling and automate curve and surface fitting enable you to quickly generate models for the analysis or modification of existing vessels. Enable your naval architecture team with a full range of tools for designing power, sail, commercial, and naval vessels made from steel, aluminum, wood, or composite materials.
• MAXSURF Ultimate – Comply with the most demanding requirements and design challenges by adding probabilistic damage stability; radiation diffraction panel method motions prediction; and dynamic, time domain, structural analysis to the already extensive range of features in MAXSURF Advanced.

MAXSURF Capabilities
Assess vessel compliance
Ensure compliance with international stability criteria and balance vessel performance requirements using integrated analysis tools. Perform a range of analyses including intact and damaged stability; resistance and motions prediction; and structural analysis.
Model marine vessels
Create complex 3D hull forms for any type of vessel using wizards and interactive sketch tools. Systematically explore design alternatives by making measured changes to your models with easy-to-use tools. Apply transformations to increase the productivity of your initial hull design process.
Optimize vessel design
Perform fast hull form variation and analysis with team-based concurrent modeling on a common 3D parametric model. Easily visualize and assess design alternatives with smooth data flow within a consistent graphical environment.
