Revolution Design
Revolution Design's team of naval architects, engineers and
designers work with the concept and creative team at Incat
to develop and refine vessel design. The team work together
from concept through research and development, on structural
design and analysis, drive line technical specification and
layout, naval architecture services and complete drafting and
design services for Incat vessels.
11 Incat Company Profile
Research projects conducted in conjunction with vessel
owners enable constant product development from an
informed and accurate standpoint. The R&D team aims to
improve ship design and 'buildability' with the continual
goal of weight reduction, plus research into ways to improve
operational reliability, efficiency and economy.
Incat's latest generation craft have a payload carrying capacity
almost 100% of the ship's own weight. The high payload to
vessel ratio has not been achieved by any other builder in the
global high-speed light craft industry.
Incat and Revolution Design use Finite Element Modelling
(FEM) to analyse design options and optimise both global and
local scantlings in order to produce a weight efficient design
without compromising strength.
A global FEM uses relatively coarse finite elements over the
entire vessel structure to illustrate the stress behaviour under
imposed design loads that are based on extreme sea conditions.
Local FEM models are then required to further evaluate stress
distribution in 'hot spot' areas that the global FEM has highlighted
as having high stress levels.
