LeadingEDGE offers its clients tailored support on every project aspect of naval architecture nature. Whether starting from the initial design conceptualization or refitting an already existing yacht or vessel, we can leverage our experience to fulfil our client’s requests.
Typical activities we can assist with are:
Interior and exterior design
Lines Plan drawing and faring
Hull stability calculations
Powering
Scantlings and general layout according to diverse classification societies
Detailed and general construction drawings for FRP, Aluminium and Steel
ORC and IRC classes sail yacht optimization
VPP performance prediction
Sailplan optimization
CONCEPT EVALUATION / VALIDATION (CFD & FEM)
CONCEPT EVALUATION / VALIDATION (CFD & FEM)
Our specialty! Using state-of-the-art software, rigorously verified and validated against experimental data sets, we are able to promptly asses a number of different design configurations and to identify the optimal solution already in the early project phases. This approach rewards our clients with savings both in terms of time and investments by avoiding the lengthy design iterations requested by more traditional methods.
To comply with the highest standards, during our investigations we aim for a more comprehensive solution rather than a single objective result. This can be achieved by coupling the structural and the hydrodynamic aspects of a project, therefore without neglecting relevant effects and interactions from both the two worlds. Want to learn about how we employ CFD technology?
Together with CFD, we also provide specialized FEM support. Here below some examples of the offered services:
Linear and Modal structural analysis
Composite evaluation and design
Non-linear analysis
Vibration
FSI
parametric and topology optimization
Example of Hull lines optimization process (Hull 01 below, Hull 02 above) leading to 7.3% reduction of installed engine power
