Please note, this event is a hybrid event.

BBSIM has been developed with the guiding principle that the mathematics used should represent the most accepted and rigorously applied methods in the open literature in peer-reviewed publications. BBSIM is able to apply mooring, anchoring and towing loads when first-order wave effects are not important (e.g. when the sea is calm). This can be used for ship passing cases (alongside CFD analysis), cases involving the mooring/anchoring of loads in high winds or cases involving the interaction between a tug and its tow.

The talk is free and open to all those interested.
