Bureau Veritas Case Study

Custom Link Siemens Expert Partner
Bureau Veritas, a global leader in ship certification and inspection, developed VeriSTAR Hull—an advanced ship hull verification tool—built on the flexible and customizable Femap software from Siemens. As ship design rules have become increasingly complex, VeriSTAR Hull helps shipyards verify structural compliance during the design phase. Leveraging the powerful API of Femap and integrated finite element analysis (FEA), Bureau Veritas continuously updates the tool to incorporate the latest international rules, including harmonized Common Structural Rules (CSR-H). The solution is widely adopted in shipyards across Korea, China, and Japan, offering speed, accuracy, and adaptability in structural verification.

  • Rising Complexity in Ship Design Regulations: Modern ship design is governed by increasingly stringent and complex rules, making manual or basic calculations insufficient. Designers now require sophisticated tools to ensure compliance with global standards.
  • VeriSTAR Hull – A Response to Industry Needs: Bureau Veritas developed the VeriSTAR Hull software in response to requests from shipyards for a solution that can verify compliance with design rules early in the design phase, saving both time and effort.

  • Continuously Updated with Latest Rules: Bureau Veritas ensures VeriSTAR Hull remains current with the latest editions of Common Structural Rules (CSR-H) and internal standards for various vessel types, including oil tankers, bulk carriers, and offshore units.

  • Integrated Design and Rule Verification: VeriSTAR Hull merges design and verification processes, eliminating the separation between the two and making compliance a seamless part of the design pipeline.
