Numerical tools for the design of fibre-based ships of large lengths


== Abstract ==
First dissemination action for university students at the School of Naval and Ocean Engineering (ETSINO) of Cartagena University (UPCT) with the intention of increasing the interest of the students and future engineers and naval architects in the use of composite materials for the design and shipbuilding of large-length vessels. In this presentation, the numerical models developed for predicting the fatigue and failure of composite materials were showed. Besides, the new numerical tools to design and anayze fiber-based ships of large length were introduced, specifically a coupled seakeeping-FEA tool, a new graphical user interface (GUI) for materials definition, hull girder analysis and collapse assesment.
