Not so long ago, we would never have imagined being able to redefine the geometrics of an existing boat; bringing to bear the introduction of structural software and fluid dynamics solvers within an existing design cycle. The improvement of the technical capabilities of our computers and the increase in computational resources in terms of memory allows us to now perform dedicated fluid dynamic and structural analysis through the use of software such as Star-CCM + and Nastran.
Through this new design approach, the R&D department of the Filippi engineering division is able not only to create new concept models but also to optimize the hydrodynamic characteristics of existing boats.
Our engineers of the engineering division (new additions to the Filippi brand with credentials including degrees in Aerospace Engineering from the Laboratory of Applied Aerodynamics at the School of Engineering in Pisa, from which originate many professionals who now operate in Formula 1), are now sifting through the entire Filippi fleet, starting with the single boats.
In fact, their analysis recently focused on male senior models such as the F01, F07, F14 and on the F15 destined for men's lightweights.
Plus, some studies on the fin.
