Available methods• Calm water resistance
– Holtrop, Hollenbach, Guldhammer methods– User specified resistance curve (CFD, Model tests, Potential flow, …)
• Propeller open water data– B-series propellers– User specified open water curves
• Added resistance– DTU and ITTC methods– User specified added resistance
• Default weather and routes– Weather: Monthly average of each month– Routes: busy shipping lanes

Advantages• Easy to setup basic simulations
• Coded in Python – Open-source programing language– Increasingly popular– Many students at DTU learning Python
• Basic methods available for research/project
• Publish workbench module along with research > available to others
• Users can get access to new developments

Research using Workbench• Effect of different added resistance formulations
• Added resistance only in head sea vs all wave conditions

Other possible usages• Effect of energy saving devices
• Performance of ship with sails or Flettner rotors
• Effect of different routes – weather routing
• Different operating profiles – speed variations
• Calculate sea margin, engine margin
• Emissions and performance using different engine types
• Paint and fouling related studies
