Maple Flow for Marine Engineering and Ship Classification

Maple Flow provides an easy and efficient calculation tool for Marine Engineers and Naval Architects to produce structural analysis, stability and loading calculations, and Ship Classification worksheets for ships and offshore structures.

The Importance of a Math-Based Design Calculation Tool

Marine Engineers and Naval Architects use advanced mathematics tools such as Maple Flow for:

  • Stability Calculations
  • Structural Analysis
  • Statistical Analysis
  • Load and Stress Calculations
  • Offshore Construction and Installation Lifting Analysis
  • And more

Marine Engineering is essential for designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining ships, and offshore structures. Using a single tool to gather reference materials, design equations, and perform analysis saves engineering time and reduces errors.

Ship Classification is critical for ensuring safety, and efficient performance of fleets, support vessels, ships, and offshore structures. Creating professional-looking design calculation documents is faster in Maple Flow, with ready access to advanced math functions, plots, and automated tracking of units.

Maple Flow makes it easy for engineers to develop and create design documents that align with naval standards maintained by the IACS members
(such as the American Bureau of Shipping, Bureau Veritas, DNV GL, Lloyd’s Register, and many more).

Maple Flow Use Cases



Marine Engineering

  • Optimize the propulsion system's performance and assess the impact of different design parameters.
  • Evaluate the strength and integrity of the ship's hull and other components through Structural Analysis.
  • Diagnose issues and troubleshoot problems related to machinery and systems on board.

Naval Architecture

  • Perform hydrostatic, hydrodynamic, stability and structural calculations, and create engineering design documents.
  • Ensure the designs meet international maritime regulations and classification society requirements during surveys, inspections, and certifications.
  • Perform complex mathematical tasks and analyses to ensure ship design and construction's safety, efficiency, and effectiveness.

Offshore Structures

  • Create mathematical models and analyze the complex structural components of offshore platforms.
  • Evaluate the integrity of materials and welds used in offshore structures to ensure they meet the required standards.
  • Optimize the design parameters and layout of offshore structures to achieve better performance, cost-efficiency, and environmental sustainability.
