DNV HydroD 2025 v8.0 Tested Picture
Hydrodynamic analysis
Naval architects and structural engineers are increasingly looking both for efficiency, accuracy and flexibility while performing hydrodynamic analysis, with advanced wave load analysis option for fine-tuning and optimizing designs of offshore structures and ships.
Sesam’s HydroD, based on DNV’s decades of experience in the domain area, is the leading software for analysis of all kinds of floating structures. HydroD is exceptional in its offering of both stability analysis, frequency domain analysis and time domain analysis, all based on one common model, fully integrated with finite element analysis.
The HydroD module in Sesam is used for ballasting, hydrostatic and hydrodynamic analysis of large fixed and floating structures. Typically these may be gravity-based platforms, barges, ships, semisubmersibles, tension leg platforms, floating production storage units or spar buoys.
An important feature of HydroD is that a combined structure, consisting of any combination of plates and beams, can be analysed.
The HydroD module is both a stability analysis software tool and the user interface to the hydrodynamics solvers in HydroD, Wadam and Wasim. The same model can be used in all analysis types. Wizards for all types of analysis make input generation consistent and easy.
HydroD provides engineers with:
- Efficient hydrodynamic analysis
- Frequency and time domain analysis
- Sea-keeping analysis
- Wave load analysis
- Efficient graphics modelling and verification of data including compartment properties
- Load mapping to the finite element model
- Scripting with Javascript
- Wizard for easy and efficient setup of the hydrodynamic analysis
- Intuitive user interface
