Optimization Technology

Our proprietary optimization platform combines advanced performance prediction methods, automated hull deformation and intelligent optimization algorithms to explore hundreds of hull designs automatically. Using either high-fidelity RANS simulations or proprietary prediction models, it delivers the optimal balance between accuracy, speed and engineering confidence.

Strong customer interactions

Defined Together.
Then Fully Automated.

Each project starts with you:

  • a shared understanding of the project
  • the ideal topology and main dimensions
  • the objectives — draughts, trims, speeds — and their weighting (drag vs. delivered power)
  • the acceptable deformations
  • the constraints — displacement, LCB, KMt, hard points, propeller clearance

From there, the process is fully automated:

Running the optimizer to get a new set of parameters Deformation based on parameters set Meshing Deducing constraint values Exporting hull sections and deformation maps Parallel simulations Extracting objective values (delivered power / drag)
The optimizer sits at the head and drives the loop by itself — it fires a new set of parameters, the hull is deformed and meshed, then the flow splits: constraint values & deformation maps on one track, parallel simulations on the cluster on the other, before the objective values feed back up to it.

Proprietary deformation method

Click and Drag to Deform.

Because geometry handling and parametrization has always been a challenge, we developed our own deformation method — grounded in advanced mathematical models and a deep understanding of how hull surfaces behave.

  • Click on the surfaces to create control points
  • Define direction of pulling and range
  • Tangency lines & knuckle lines are automatically detected
  • Let the optimizer do the rest
  • For a smooth and intuitive result — every time
Interactive control-point deformation — click, pull, done.

Search — don't guess

Hundreds of Variants.
One Optimum.

Given the geometrical complexity of ship shapes, the optimum performance cannot be approached with a few parameters only. Consequently, our daily optimizations use between 25 and 40 geometrical parameters, requiring state-of-the-art optimization algorithms to find the best combination in hours to days.

  • Up to 50 parameters per study
  • 150+ RANS simulations, 20–45 min each
  • Ranked against your operational profile
  • Respecting all specified constraints
A non-linear design space — the optimizer escapes local minima to reach the global optimum.
