FlagShip?s structural design capability is based on MAESTRO, an integrated ship structural modeling, analysis, and optimization system. MAESTRO combines rapid ship-oriented ship structural modeling, large scale global and fine mesh finite element analysis, structural failure evaluation, and structural optimization in an integrated yet modular software package. MAESTRO’s core capabilities represent a system for rationally-based optimum design of large, complex thin-walled structures, although MAESTRO is also capable of performing local analyses. In essence, MAESTRO is a synthesis of finite element analysis, failure, or limit state, analysis, and mathematical optimization, all of which is smoothly integrated under a user-friendly graphical interface.
