    Magnetic Signatures with Opera-3d

    Throughout this course we will teach engineers how to use Opera-3d as a tool to analyze electric and magnetic ship signatures and design coil systems for signature mitigation. The course addresses the topics of induced magnetic signatures, permanent magnetic signatures and cathodic protection which act as main sources of the signatures.

    What you will learn

    • Induced magnetic signatures
    • Static signature due to deflection of the earth's magnetic field by large ferrous objects
    • Dynamic (eddy current) signature due to movement of the vessel in the Earth's field
    • Permanent magnetic signatures
    • Caused by remnant field in the structure
    • Cathodic protection systems and resulting electric and magnetic signatures
    • Designed to fight corrosion but contribute to the vessel's signature
