Eduardo Guzman

I'm responsible for the operations of maintenance, materials supply, workers coordination and sells.

Our services include; anti fouling application, dray dock, gel coat reparation, hull polish, etc, etc.

I have wide variety of clients, form small boat 7m length to, 16m length sailing yachts. Thanks to this job i know very the well the components of a boat and how to effectively solve the problems my clients have.

I collaborate in the improvement of the construction strategy of semi submersible offshore floating platforms, the platform are suppose to be made of concrete. To speed up the construction process, the company decided to model the factory using discrete events with the use of Flexim.

I used my expertise in programing to replicate real process in Flexim and used some 3D models to make a 3D visualization of the factory in action.

I also had the opportunity to create a virtual reality scene of the factory using NAVIDIA Ominverse, making easy for our clients to understand our product.

Parametric hull modeling/analysis. The 3D models were generated in Maxsurf, to easily change hydrostatics parameters of the hull, after that a general arrangement is proposed considering that profile. Motion analysis of different bow shapes, the criteria used was the motion sickness index, and acceleration at different locations like the control bridge and other work zones. For this study the resistance wasn´t considered as a performance parameter. Propeller analysis with CFD. Performance analysis of a skewed Kaplan propeller using open FOAM, to verify the results obtained when using potential linear theory. Finally, the propeller increased its efficiency due to a vortex reduction on its leading edges. (k - omega model was used to model turbulence).
