News, events, and trends
A privileged perspective on the nautical world. The Kyma blog offers inspiration, updates and insights into yachting and its surroundings directly from those who live the industry and its continual transformation.
3 September, 2026 Fatigue Analysis: Methods and Applications in Yacht Design
Fatigue analysis helps engineers evaluate how structures and components behave under repeated loads over time. In yacht design, it is useful for estimating the service life of structural details, identifying critical areas early and supporting more reliable engineering decisions.
3 September, 2026 CFD Analysis: What it is and how it applies to the nautical industry
CFD analysis makes it possible to simulate fluid behaviour and evaluate how water and air interact with a yacht project. In the nautical industry, it is used to study flows, pressures, resistance, efficiency and comfort, helping designers make more informed technical decisions before construction begins.
27 July, 2026 HVAC Analysis for Yachts
Kyma develops HVAC projects for yachts and ships as an integral part of naval engineering. The work focuses on the technical integration of climate control systems with layout, piping, ventilation and executive development, providing shipyards with a more coordinated, controllable and buildable project.
27 July, 2026 FEM Analysis: Preparing the Calculation Model for Ship Structures
FEM analysis is used to predict how a yacht structure behaves under loads, constraints and deformations before construction begins. In the nautical industry, it helps engineers assess stresses, displacements and critical structural areas, so design choices can be validated earlier and with greater control.
30 August, 2024 A new department in KYMA
Relying on the deep experience in the design of structures, piping and outfitting, the new department of Naval Architecture and Basic Design is born, expanding the range of services and skills offered by Kyma.
22 July, 2024 The Mesh: FEM’s Beating Heart
In the third in-depth study with FEM analysis in Kyma we will explore the mesh, the beating heart of the Finite Element Method, among pitfalls and opportunities, macro-categories of analysis and calculation tools aimed at obtaining accurate and realistic results all the time.
