1. Software overview
In response to the top level strategic requirements of national "autonomous and controllable" and "software autonomy", under the guidance of laboratory leaders and experts, the Science and Technology Department took the lead in integrating the advantages and research achievements of 702 Institute's ship structure related disciplines, and carried out the research and development of "Structure Analysis of Marine structures".
Aimed at the new requirements of marine structure design and optimization for intelligent prediction and evaluation of basic performance such as environmental loads, structural safety, vibration and noise, and explosion impact, the general software SAM for marine structure analysis, developed by China Ship Science Research Center in conjunction with domestic advantageous forces, is a general software with fully independent intellectual property rights, high efficiency and parallel implementation of engineering applications in the field of marine engineering.
