Dassault Systèmes today announced that Bureau Veritas, a leader in testing, inspection and certification for industries including marine and offshore, has selected its “Designed for Sea” industry solution experience to accelerate ship structure modeling and calculations that help customers comply with new regulations and optimize their ship designs. Based on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, “Designed for Sea” combines powerful virtual design, modeling and collaboration applications that enable Bureau Veritas to quickly create a 3D structural model of a complex ship hull prior to its construction.  Bureau Veritas can then use this to evaluate and precisely calculate a hull’s optimal structure in a shorter amount of time, which can then serve as a master geometric reference for other shipbuilding certification processes. The necessary thickness of a hull depends on criteria such as a ship’s length, speed and navigational zone.  It must also comply with the International Association of Classification Societies’ new Common Structural Rules that
