During the 35th America’s Cup, Artemis Racing developed a groundbreaking suite of simulation tools with potential for application in wider vessel and sailing yacht design. Since then, the toolset has been continually developed and extended, including the addition of a human in the loop, full motion simulator.
Our simulator allows sailors, engineers and mariners to physically experience simulated vessel dynamics in real time, bridging the gap between design and the intuition of elite athletes and operators.
We are able to support the full vessel development lifecycle - from pre-build model correlation and performance prediction through to crew training and decision-making under pressure. High-fidelity dynamic models and physics-based sea state and environment representations provide the conditions necessary for rigorous, repeatable testing in a controlled environment.
The F-50 simulator features a full-motion, 6 degree of freedom platform, 360-degree projected visuals, and surround sound. Our F-50 model enables repeatable scenario testing and tactical training in conditions that closely mirror the real boat, including multi-boat scenarios for race simulation and team decision-making.
Our simulation capability is deeply embedded in the Artemis eFoiler® development programme, with physics models that evolve alongside the vessel design. The same tools and methodology are directly applicable to commercial vessel development - supporting faster design validation, control system testing and pilot training across varying sea states and operational scenarios.
Our computational fluid dynamics (CFD) capability spans both aerodynamic and hydrodynamic analysis - covering sail and wing propulsion, hull resistance, foil performance and propeller design. We apply simulation across the full design spectrum - from clean-sheet concept development through to systematic optimisation of existing geometries. The fidelity of our methods means simulation results can directly inform design decisions and reduce reliance on physical testing.
Our control systems capability covers the full stack - from control strategy design and software architecture to hardware integration and deployment. We apply rigorous testing and validation processes throughout development, ensuring both system performance and safety are thoroughly characterised before any hardware goes into service.
Our simulation-led approach allows us to evaluate whole-system performance at the earliest stages of the design process, - integrating hydro, aero and control systems into both high-fidelity and simulator ready models. This enables rigorous exploration and optimisation of design concepts from first principles. Critically, it also brings human experience into the design process - giving clients both a strong analytical foundation and a subjective appreciation of vessel behaviour before any physical build commitment is made.
