“UNITED SHIP DESIGN improves efficiency with FRIENDSHIP-Framework”

Posted by ewik on June 17, 2010 · Leave a Comment

14. Jun. 2010 | Potsdam – Malaysian ship design and consultancy provider UNITED SHIP DESIGN SDN BHD (USD) has licensed the Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) software system FRIENDSHIP-Framework. USD is the first Malaysian customer of FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS. The company introduces the software to its design and consultancy work to enhance both the performance and energy efficiency of its designs and to streamline and professionalize its process chains. The license of FRIENDSHIP-Framework 2.1 is part of a design package that FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS offers in collaboration with Swedish flow expert FLOWTECH.

FRIENDSHIP-Framework is a CAE software system for the simulation-driven design of optimal functional surfaces like ship hulls, rudders, propellers and other maritime systems exposed to a flow regime. The development of optimally task-suitable, energy efficient, high performing designs is achieved in a streamlined design process which is built around integrated simulation. Parametric modelling, variant generation and assessment, as well as hydrodynamic optimization are key design steps which, fed by the simulation results, lead to an optimal design. As a dedicated flow code for the hydrodynamic assessment of ships and their flow phenomena, FLOWTECH’s SHIPFLOW has a proper interface to the FRIENDSHIP-Framework.

The Potsdam-based company has released the latest upgrade of the simulation-driven design software FRIENDSHIP-Framework, version 2.1, in late 2009. A new major release with further enhanced functionality and user-friendliness is planned for fall 2010.
