Siemens and Compute Maritime Utilise CFD and Generative AI in Ship Design
Posted on Mar 06, 2025 at 09:03 PM
To advance generative AI in the ship design sector and transform ship design and simulation, Siemens Digital Industries Software announced a partnership with Compute Maritime (CML) today.
Notably, the project's main objective is integrating Siemens' SimcenterTM STAR-CCM+TM software for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and results validation with Compute Maritime's flagship vessel design and optimisation platform, NeuralShipper.
A Way to Reduce Emissions
Using new fuel types or energy-saving devices can significantly increase fuel efficiency and lower pollutants. The fact that modern ships were not designed to use such fuels or technologies.
However, limits the possibility of the biggest savings. New ships must be particularly constructed to include these technologies immediately to fully benefit from these advancements.
Siemens Digital Industries Software's marine director, Dmitry Ponkratov, has announced a new collaboration with Compute Maritime, aiming to revolutionise maritime design by combining NeuralShipper and Simcenter STAR-CCM+. This collaboration enables the creation of new vessel types, automates simulation processes, and predicts real-world performance for even the most unconventional designs.
Moreover, according to Junaid Awan, CTO, Compute Maritime, Siemens and NeuralShipper are working together to provide marine design businesses with quick idea development and reliable design validation. This is a big benefit for contemporary companies who depend on Simcenter STAR-CCM+ for CFD simulations.
NeuralShipper offers a comprehensive solution for designing commercial vessels, workboats, and leisure yachts, adapting to new fuels, and energy-saving devices, and creating versatile workboats.
Optimising Innovative Ship Design via Simulation
It is essential to maximise vessel performance while designing the vessel. NeuralShipper, a computerised naval architect from Compute Maritime, assists human naval architects throughout the first stages of design.
In addition, it allows teams to greatly accelerate idea creation and move swiftly to the detailed design phase by producing hundreds of design possibilities in a matter of minutes. Simcenter STAR-CCM+, Siemens' CFD software, then helps designers to precisely simulate the intricacies of ship behaviours and automate simulation procedures.
Through hands-on simulator exercises, Maritime Courses in London educate learners on ship-handling skills and promote safe ship operation using generative AI. They include power plants, engines, electrical systems, and shipping technology, assisting trainees in comprehending patterns of vessel activity as well.
In the end, Siemens Digital Industries Software uses the Siemens Xcelerator business platform's software, hardware, and services to assist businesses of all sizes in their digital transformation.
Siemens' software and digital twin optimise design, engineering, and production processes, helping businesses transform current concepts into sustainable goods across all sectors, from chips to whole systems.
