DNV HydroD is a leading software suite for hydrodynamic analysis of ships and offshore structures within the renowned Sesam framework. It provides a comprehensive environment for stability assessment, global load analysis, and motion response simulations in waves and wind. Utilizing state-of-the-art potential flow theory and panel methods, it enables engineers to predict critical behaviors such as seakeeping, mooring line tensions, green water loads, and slamming. HydroD is an industry-standard tool for ensuring the safety, operability, and structural integrity of marine assets throughout their design life, from conceptual studies to detailed engineering and in-service assessments.
