| | MAESTRO |
 | | MAESTRO can be used to analyze and design many types of thin-wall stiffened structures, and has been used for virtually every type of ship from large tankers, container ships and bulk carriers to high speed ferries, multi-hull vessels, and SWATHs, as well as smaller vessels such as fishing vessels and patrol craft. |
 | | MAESTRO offers two failure mode calculation methods; the first is based on Professor Owen Hughes' "Ship Structural Design: A Rationally-Based, Computer-Aided Optimization Approach" textbook, while the second, known as ULSAP, is based on theory presented in the book "Ultimate Limit State Design of Steel-Plated Structures", by Professor Jeom Paik and A.K. Thayamballi. |
 | | MAESTROs output consists of graphics associated with the structural models, displacements and stress data associated with finite element analysis, structural evaluation adequacy parameters which are quantified evaluations of each of the 35 limit state evaluations conducted by MAESTRO, as well as deformation and stress data associated with the detailed stress analysis module. |
