aNySIM XMF is a time domain software that simulates the motions of both stationary offshore vessels and sailing ships. aNySIM computes the motions of these vessels resulting from non-linear hydrodynamic and mechanical loading. The modular structure of aNySIM XMF makes it easy to combine different functionalities . This way you can easily model simple but also complex configurations.

Diffrac
DIFFRAC is a wave diffraction program capable of calculating the first-order wave loads and motion responses of multi-body free floating or moored structures in regular waves, including their hydrodynamic interaction. DIFFRAC is based on a three-dimensional source distribution technique for the solution of linearized velocity potential problems.

qship
QSHIP offers a hydrodynamic suite for seakeeping calculations and workability analysis. The hydrodynamic suite contains (depending on the selected version) two potential flow methods; the strip theory code SHIPMO and the panel code PRECAL_R. QSHIP calculates ship motions, velocities, accelerations and relative wave elevation of a ship in waves. Based on this, QSHIP can calculate the uptime based on exceedance of defined criteria like illness rating or local accelerations.

ReFRESCO
Viscous flows are important actors in the determination of loads and responses of structures at sea. ReFRESCO is a multi-phase viscous flow solver which allows us to predict loads and visualise local flow physics, enabling us to increase our understanding and improve sea-going structures, making oceans safer and cleaner. ReFRESCO is based on the finite volume formulation and can work all types of cells, making it compatible with a wide variety of grid generation packages.

safetrans
SafeTrans is an integrated tool to design and operate marine heavy lift transports and installations of major facilities in a safe and efficient manner using state of the art analysis methods, databases, and hydrodynamics. SafeTrans covers all types of marine transportations of any distance, and shorter tow-outs and installations. SafeTrans can also provide guidance for critical operations such as pipe-lays, platform removal or drilling.

shipma
SHIPMA is primarily used for port and fairway design, referring to both approach channels and inland waterways. In SHIPMA vessels are steered by an autopilot which is capable of operating in the track keeping mode and the harbour manoeuvring mode, making it possible to perform typical harbour manoeuvres like turning, reverse sailing and berthing.

windos
WINDOS is a computer program for the calculation of wind loads on offshore structures. The program has been developed to bridge the gap between the two common methods used for wind load prediction: the simple calculation models provided by the classification societies and model testing in a windtunnel. The program can handle arbitrary types of ships and offshore structures.

SAMSON
SAMSON stands for Safety Assessment Models for Shipping and Offshore in the North Sea. With the SAMSON model various risk assessment calculations can be performed regarding maritime safety. By using the full maritime traffic database, we can determine various environmental conditions such as wind and current, different mathematical models and the frequency of different types of 'dangerous' events, casualties.
