Case Study: MiNO Marine accelerates vessel design with Nimbix Cloud and JARVICE

Arvice™ and the Nimbix Cloud Enable Newcomer Mino Marine to Penetrate a Crowded Market With a Totally New Vessel Design in Less Than 12 Months

MiNO Marine, a Louisiana-based naval architecture and marine engineering firm, needed a way to run complex Star-CCM+ fluid dynamics simulations fast enough to compete in a mature towboat market. Its desktop workstations could take days to complete analyses, and the company wanted to avoid the cost and maintenance burden of buying its own HPC cluster. Nimbix and its JARVICE-powered cloud platform gave MiNO the computing power it needed to accelerate vessel design without managing infrastructure in-house.

By running Star-CCM+ on the Nimbix Cloud, MiNO Marine cut simulation times from days to hours and gained the ability to run dozens of scenarios in parallel on hundreds of cores. Nimbix helped the company deliver an all-new towboat hull design, support specialized vessel projects, and move multiple boats into production in under a year. The faster turnaround, lower cost, and strong technical support from Nimbix helped MiNO beat client deadlines and stand out in a crowded market.
