Trident

The Trident suite combines global ship modeling, finite element analysis and seakeeping analysis into a single integrated system. Naval architects, structural engineers and ship designers have access to standard ship design tools and leading-edge capabilities, such as fatigue and ultimate strength analysis.

Complete: Global ship modeling and detailed finite element structural analysis, including static, dynamic, nonlinear, natural frequency and buckling.

Integrated: Trident Seakeeping tools accurately predict wave loads and structural behavior in various sea states. Time-domain and frequency domain hydrodynamics analysis tools available. Import wave load results directly into Trident FEA for further structural analysis.

Fast: The Trident Solver uses Sparse Matrix technology for fast computation times and no limits on model size. A 10,000 node static finite element analysis will run in less than 25 seconds!

Powerful: Trident also provides advanced analysis tools including deterministic and spectral fatigue analysis, ultimate strength analysis, underwater explosion analysis and acoustic radiation analysis.
