Hydro Motion Team: Hydrofoiling hydrogen boat races to greener future
The customer, the 2024 TU Delft Hydro Motion Team, is a team of engineering students with the challenge of designing and building the world's first fully hydrogen-powered foiling boat to cross the North Sea and prove the viability of sustainable maritime fuel. They partnered with Dassault Systèmes and used the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to manage the complex design and engineering process.
Dassault Systèmes provided its cloud-based 3DEXPERIENCE platform, which enabled the team to collaboratively design, test, and integrate all components in a single environment. The solution allowed them to run finite element method analysis and manage large assemblies, saving time and considering factors beyond just design. As a result, the team successfully built a highly efficient boat that uses half the power when foiling, demonstrating hydrogen's potential as a lightweight, high-energy fuel for the maritime industry.
