General information
The mathematical manoeuvring models of MARIN are widely considered as highly sophisticated, developed to serve the professional maritime world in studies and trainings with complex realistic simulation environments. The high level modelling is achieved by using mathematical manoeuvring models which are based on and validated against high-end hydrodynamic data derived directly from MARIN’s model test results and trial data. Due to the in-house developed Mermaid 500 software, a direct implementation of the hydrodynamic data is possible. The resulting mathematical manoeuvring model (e.g. vessel, tug or any other floating object) is a six degrees-of-freedom (6 DOF) model responding realistically to environmental conditions (wind, waves and current) and hydrodynamic interactions calculated over the length of the design vessel. Other real-life phenomena such as bank suction, squat and trim are modelled depth/draught dependently.
Due to the Mermaid 500 software, MARIN is able to continiously improve the mathematical manoeuvring models based on new knowledge and insights. This knowledge is acquired by MARIN in general, the departments Ships, Research & Development and Trials & Monitoring. The obtained knowledge is constantly studied for possible implementation into the simulation software.
All new models and features are extensively tested in order to make sure that our clients receive stable and reliable software.
