ExpressMarine

Parametric structural modelling software

Create decks, floors, girders, bulkheads, stiffeners, cutouts parametrically. Easily change the geometry as the design evolves. Generate early design phase reports for: Weight, BOM, Volume and Tonnage.

• Early-stage Structural Weight and Center of Gravity (CoG) calculations
• Concept design volume definitions
• Tonnage calculations
• Early-stage Bill of Materials (BOM) generation
• Section modulus calculations
• Area calculations
• Export of weight results to ShipWeight
• Export of structural models to ShipConstructor via the Genesis API
• Export of structures to OCX format for class approval

ExpressMarine version 6.0 including OCX export just released!

Reinventing parametric design!

ExpressMarine takes a fresh approach on parametric modeling. A combination of mathematical and graphical parameters set the base for the 3D model. This forms the ship’s DNA from which the entire structure is developed. Changes made at this level will propagate down the hierarchy and allow interdependent elements to morph accordingly.

Strategic parametrization

Prioritizing efficiency, ExpressMarine allows the use of parametric and non-parametric elements in the same model, thus minimizing the disadvantages of the fully parametric approach, where modelling time is wasted on thorough definitions of certain parameters which may never be used later.

Simply use Rhinoceros to model complex geometries or import and transform them into an ExpressMarine structural object.

Export seamlessly to other tools

Taking advantage of the Rhino’s power to export numerous file formats, ExpressMarine enables seamless transfer of geometry to other tools, making it an ideal pre-processor for detail engineering, FEM testing, weight tracking, class drawings, etc
