In this release, you can now set variable sea conditions and ship speed targets as functions of GPS coordinates, linear distance or time recording. This new capability is an improvement of the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/simcenter\/sea-fever-an-ode-to-simcenter-amesim-variable-sea-conditions\/\" target=\"_blank\">variable sea conditions model implemented in version 2020.1<\/a>. It is an enabler for operation optimization tasks like dynamic sea routing or optimal\/predictive energy management systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to this handy feature, check out the 3 new demonstrators in the &#8220;Demo help&#8221; portal:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Propeller shaft torsional vibration analysis<\/li><li>Aircraft carrier <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Arresting_gear#cite_note-A&amp;S_2015-2\" target=\"_blank\">Mark 7 arresting gear<\/a> model for kink wave analysis<\/li><li>Ship central cooling system co-simulation between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plm.automation.siemens.com\/global\/fr\/products\/simcenter\/simcenter-amesim.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Simcenter Amesim<\/a> and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.plm.automation.siemens.com\/global\/fr\/products\/simcenter\/flomaster.html\" target=\"_blank\">Simcenter Flomaster<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use these demonstrators as tutorials to help you set up your own cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally in this release, we have improved the propeller models. They are now capable of operating in the four quadrants (positive or negative torque and speed), enabling slowing down the ship or going backward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To try these features for yourself, download the new Simcenter Amesim version via the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/support.sw.siemens.com\/en-US\/\" target=\"_blank\">support center<\/a>.
