MAESTRO Marine products
MAESTRO - Fine Mesh Module
The MAESTRO Fine Mesh module allows the user to automatically create refined 3-D FEA models of any portion of the MAESTRO global model while maintaining the original scantling properties and loads. The user creates a group made up of elements from the “area of interest” then refines the group based on two options. The first option being the Top-down mode. In this mode, Fine Mesh Analysis applies displacements from the global analysis to the fine mesh model for boundary conditions. In the Embedded mode (the second option), Fine Mesh Analysis replaces the coarse mesh portion of the model with the fine mesh.
MAESTRO - NASTRAN Translator
This module translates either the entire MAESTRO finite element model or a portion thereof into Nastran, including loads and groups (from FEMAP Neutral files). Alternatively, Nastran models can be translated into MAESTRO.
MAESTRO - Base Module
The MAESTRO base module includes the graphical modeler for developing, loading, and post-processing MAESTRO structural models. MAESTRO’s modeling paradigm is organized to rapidly generate a finite element model of an entire ship. Using high-level building blocks (i.e., MAESTRO substructures and modules), MAESTRO can leverage longitudinal uniformity typically found within portions of a ship (e.g., plating thickness or frame size throughout a cargo hold, etc.). Each module has its own local coordinate system, and can be copied, rotated or transformed. Hull girder properties such as inertias, cross-sectional area, neutral axis, and section modulus can be plotted and queried for any section cut within the model.
