Military and commercial shipbuilders alike are subjected to the same business pressures - build a vessel that will cost less to operate for a lower initial cost and deliver it in less time. Whether your task is to design and build a new chilled water system for the next generation battleship or life extend / update an aging engine cooling system, your ability to understand the behaviour of your on-board fluid systems for a range of operating conditions will ensure you have the optimum design, not just technically but commercially as well. To meet this challenge shipbuilders and their suppliers are using the advances in computer aided engineering techniques to ensure more exacting customer requirements can be met with increased reliability, for less cost. Flowmaster's fluid systems simulation environment allows you to de-risk programmes, lower operating costs, minimise material costs and improve customer confidence, by:
- Evaluating different system architectures to provide the most cost effective option
- Optimising designs to deliver cost effective solutions
- Ensuring systems meet performance criteria before ordering long lead time items and manufacture
- Providing quantitative results to your customers that on-board fluid systems will perform to specification
In addition to this you can re-use your system models for future designs enabling you to ensure additional costs are not incurred from over design. Ensure your vessels commissioning is just a formality rather than the beginning of an expensive test and re-work cycle. By using Flowmaster simulation results you can validate your systems performance against test results and should the need arise, quickly find the cause of a problem and propose a solution that works. This means that you deliver on time.
