An integrated software platform for ship CAE complex scenes

This paper delves into the development of software platform design solutions, especially catering to complex ship design and analysis scenarios within the realm of ship CAE. Leveraging the iDesigner platform and the Model-based Definition (MBD) methodology, it outlines the design and implementation of an integrated CAE software platform tailored for the ship industry. Using a typical hull section for structural static analysis as a case study, the paper elucidates the establishment process of the analytical procedure and validates the platform's effectiveness and accuracy in ship structural analysis through comparative assessments with software tools like Abaqus and Patran. In conclusion, this paper not only showcases a software platform design solution for intricate ship CAE scenarios using practical examples but also validates its efficacy in ship structural analysis, offering a valuable reference for future software development within the ship industry.
