Virtual demonstration and prototyping

By: Maarten Flikkema (MARIN) One of the core elements of HOLISHIP is the virtual vessel framework (VVF). This framework will connect different tools with varying complexity to each other thus enabling concurrent simulations of distinct ship systems and ultimately aims at the simulation of the complete ship system in one framework. This will give the…

the parallel bottom-up and top-down approach

The HOLISHIP project passed its first 6-months mark in March assembling the Steering Group for a meeting at project partner TRITEC Marine Ltd. premises in Glasgow to discuss next steps. While still being in the concept phase the approach for merging relevant tools covering different design disciplines (bottom-up) and the requirements stemming from the multitude…

HOLISHIP: Integration for better design

Started in September 2016, HOLISHIP is a research and development project of 40 European partners from the maritime industry, research institutes and universities.[1] Funded with a grant of 11.3 M€ by the Horizon 2020 Transport Research Programme of the European Union, the project aims at developing the next generation of flexible systems for the design…
