Maxsurf
Marine vessel analysis and design software
Single 3D Hull Model
Maxsurf applications work from a single geometry file, streamlining the design process by removing the need to create geometry files in different formats for downstream analysis programs. Changes in the hull surface flow through parametrically to compartmentation, resistance and motions hull meshes, and structural part definition.
High-quality Surfacing
Maxsurf is optimized to help naval architects create high-quality hull surfaces that are fair and can be used for all other analysis and CAD/CAM functions.
Dynamic Trimming
Surface trimming in Maxsurf is a simple point-and-click process. Maxsurf’s trimming is fully dynamic, allowing you to modify trimmed surfaces and have the trimmed portions automatically update.
Comprehensive Analysis
Maxsurf includes analysis capabilities such as intact and damage stability, longitudinal strength, structural analysis and design, resistance prediction, wake calculation, motions prediction, and a sailing VPP.
Intuitive Interface
Maxsurf’s consistent, graphical interface is easy to learn and use. Each model shares a common intuitive interface with high-quality rendering and animation to visualize analysis results.
Maxsurf Overview
Design, analyze, and optimize a range of marine vessel types. Take advantage of fast and convenient modeling of complex vessels using dynamically trimmed 3D NURB surfaces. Maxsurf enables flexible data import, mesh modeling, and automatic curve and surface fitting. It includes tools for designing power, sail, commercial, and naval vessels made from steel, aluminum, wood, or composite materials.
Maxsurf provides you with the analysis tools to comply with the most demanding requirements and design challenges. These include probabilistic damage stability; radiation diffraction panel method motions prediction; and dynamic, time domain, and structural analysis.
“Using the MAXSURF software, the time required to accurately determine the stability characteristics of the vessel was reduced from a projected three months to one month.”
