Complex multibody calculations - Simo
Flexible modelling of station-keeping forces and connecting force mechanisms
Complex multibody calculations with Simo software
Flexible modelling of station-keeping forces and connecting force mechanisms (anchor lines, ropes, thrusters, fenders, bumpers, docking guide piles) is included in the Simo software module. The results are presented as time traces, statistics and spectral analysis of all forces and motions of all bodies in the analysed system. Simo software makes complex multibody calculations seem easy.
