The Executive Control Board of the National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) has selected 13 panel projects for award as part of the Program's continuing mission to reduce costs and expand capability for U.S. shipbuilding and ship repair. These new projects, valued at over $2.55M in government funding, were among those proposed in response to the Panel Project Solicitation issued in June 2024.

Integrate MAESTRO Ship Structural Design Software with Femap/Nastran Software

MAESTRO Marine | HII - Ingalls Shipbuilding | Duration: 12 Months

Objective: The project goal is to improve the current state of design tools and practice by integrating the ship-specific MAESTRO software tools, including automation of design criteria evaluation and optimization with the Siemens Femap/Nastran finite element analysis software that is widely used throughout the U.S. Naval ship design and in-service engineering enterprise. The goal is to make the structural design process faster, more accurate, and more agile.
