VeriSTAR Hull 5.26.1: Advanced Ship Hull Structural Verification Software

VeriSTAR Hull is Bureau Veritas’s advanced ship hull verification tool, built on the flexible Femap software from Siemens . It is designed to help shipyards verify structural compliance during the design phase, merging design and verification processes to make compliance a seamless part of the design pipeline .

The software is widely adopted in shipyards across Korea, China, and Japan, offering speed, accuracy, and adaptability in structural verification . It is continuously updated with the latest editions of Common Structural Rules (CSR-H) and internal standards for various vessel types .

???? Primary Users

This professional ship design software is designed for:

  • Naval Architects & Marine Engineers verifying hull structural compliance during the design phase 

  • Shipyards & Classification Societies conducting finite element analysis (FEA) for oil tankers, bulk carriers, and offshore units 

  • Structural Designers performing strength and fatigue analysis according to Common Structural Rules (CSR-H) 

  • Offshore & Energy Sector Engineers using the tool for complex hydro-structure coupling analysis .

⚡ Key Features & Capabilities

  • Finite Element Analysis (FEA): Performs stress, buckling, and fatigue analysis according to classification society rules .

  • CSR-H Compliance: Continuously updated to comply with the latest harmonised Common Structural Rules for oil tankers and bulk carriers .

  • Hydro-structure Coupling: Capable of carrying out complex coupling analysis based on site-specific met-ocean data and loading conditions .

  • Design Integration: Merges the design and verification processes, eliminating the separation between the two disciplines .

  • Integrated Meshing: Utilizes tools like HydroSTAR for automatic mesh generation to speed up the modeling process .
