Computer engineering
Design Bureau Proship specializes in design of ships and marine engineering objects with improved operational characteristics and reduced environmental impact. This is achieved through extensive application of mathematical modeling methods, which have recently become more and more widespread in shipbuilding.
In modern engineering analysis (CAE) systems, mathematical modeling is implemented in the form of finite element method (FEA) and finite volume method (CFD). The capabilities of the best-in-class CAE systems allow to build models with a high degree of adequacy to real products. Thanks to this, it is now possible to conduct full-fledged virtual experiments.

Virtual test pool
This is a modern alternative to physical experience pools.
The fact is that in the early stages of designing a new vessel it is important to determine its running properties accurately, because the economic performance and habitability conditions of the new vessel directly depend on it. It is possible to accurately determine the sailing qualities only by means of a series of experiments.
In the virtual basin in the shortest time it is possible to create any operating conditions – ice field, irregular waves, different salinity and water temperature, the trajectory of the deep water fairway, etc. And simulate in these conditions the behavior of the vessel at any course angles of waves.
As a result, the designer gets accurate information about the flow structure near the hull, the parameters of the ship’s rocking, deck flooding, resistance to motion at different speeds, etc.
Applicable software
For modeling, we use the best software in its class – ANSYS, Siemens Star-CCM+, Open FOAM.
These systems of engineering analysis have been used for many years by leading scientific and research organizations of the world, they are verified and recognized by the expert community in our country and abroad.
