Veristar Hull Software: Leading Finite Element Analysis

Release Date

Version Number5.30

VeriSTAR Hull is Bureau Veritas' finite element tool for building and managing safe and optimum designs. It combines the well-known FEMAP processing tool and proven Simcenter and MSC Nastran solvers with in-house developed features for fast and efficient modeling and rule compliance checks (Bureau Veritas Rules for Steel Ships NR467, for Offshore Units NR445 and IACS Common Structural Rules for Bulk Carriers and Oil Tankers). 

Three approaches are available:

Our software provides:

  • Global strength assessment (yielding and bucking)
  • Local strength assessment of structural details
  • Fatigue strength assessment
     

Main features:

  • Generation of 3D finite element model facilitated by the import/export from various CAD formats or from other software

  • Mesh quality check to get more reliable results with finite element analysis

  • Automatic buckling panel analysis

  • Numerous powerful automatic processes to ease the use and speed of the model analysis (corrosion application, Rule’s loads application, hull girder loads adjustment) 

  • Dedicated interface to perform the post-processing, combined with efficient tools to identify the critical location and associated loading condition, to identify the buckling failure mode, to manage fatigue details and compute lifetime 

  • Full integration of the sub-modeling approach for local and fatigue analysis

  • Automatic Word report generation

VeriSTAR Hull is a smart and user-friendly software that enables efficient implementation of BV Rules requirements, including compartment definition, loads, corrosion additions and model balancing calculations. Its powerful post-processing capabilities are valuable for three-hold and full-length models, as we have experienced on a variety of ships and FPSO hull projects.
