Software Engineering

At TWD, we develop cutting-edge software applications designed to streamline complex engineering tasks in the offshore and maritime industries. Our suite of digital tools supports both engineers and sales teams by enabling early-stage decision-making based on proven engineering analyses.

Whether you’re managing monopile installations, cable handling, or barge operations, our apps offer practical, real-world solutions grounded in over 15 years of experience in method engineering and equipment design. These are not just quick estimates—our apps are built on calculations that have consistently delivered results across a wide range of projects. Our apps are tailored to your needs and can be accessed by you and your team directly in the browser, without requiring any local installation.

Engineering apps tailored to your business needs

A range of engineering solutions we can optimise for you:

Monopile Operations

Cable Transfer Analysis

Marine Operations

Monopile Operations

Automate repetitive engineering tasks for analysing and optimising monopile operations.

Clash Checks – Automatically checks for clashes with deck items
Transportation Analysis – Validates structural integrity and stability of monopiles during transport
Report Generation – Creates validation reports for marine warranty surveyors, including analyses and results
Spreader Configurator – Calculates optimal setup for heavy lifting, ensuring safe and efficient load distribution
SPMT Configurator – Calculates the required SPMT configuration, ensuring stable payload transport and avoiding clashes during movement

“This tool was conceived with TWD to offer us flexibility in trip planning, enabling agile validation and fast updates to verification reports (for MWS) when needed.” – José-Ignacio Luis-Miguel, Methods Engineer at DEME

Cable Transfer Analysis

Streamline subsea cable operations with cable transfer analysis for load-in, load-out, or storage.

Cable Transfer Analysis – Calculates required engine capacity for any cable track setup, including modular tracks, catenaries, and linear or bow cable engines
Cable Storage Analysis – Optimises carousel design by assessing cable stacking and the force transfer between cables on the inner and outer walls.
Cable Stiffness Modelling – Assesses the impact of cable stiffness on catenaries during operations

“From day one, the app has proven beneficial in quickly calculating engine capacity, which has helped us to be better prepared for future cable loadouts.” — Kelsey Huijsing, WIND Cable Services

Marine Operations

Accessible tools to support marine transport engineering and verification.

Deck Layout & Seafastening – Speeds up deck layout checks and facilitates clash detection and high-level assessments
Barge Stability – Refines ballast configurations and outlines operational feasibility for safe and efficient cargo transport
Bollard Pull – Calculates required tug count and capacity based on barge and cargo characteristics

“Manora Logistics has significantly improved its bollard pull calculations with this app, transforming a rather complex and time-consuming process into an efficient task.” – Wim Dierckx, Project Manager at Manora Logistics

Automation Pyramid

At TWD, we leverage our in-house engineering automation expertise to develop and deliver intelligent solutions through user-friendly web applications. These tools are just the visible part of a much larger foundation—built on over 15 years of experience in method engineering and equipment design.

Our apps simplify complex engineering calculations, providing users with direct access to key inputs and results that drive analysis. They also generate comprehensive reports based on proven methodologies, ensuring consistency, transparency, and reliability – and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Apps – Web-based tools built for engineers (and non-engineers), designed to simplify complex workflows and enable real-time interaction.
Template – Reusable calculation templates in Python that make it easy to set up and connect engineering workflows.
Standardised Engineering – Reusable scripts, functions, and snippets that unify how we solve problems, making engineering tasks repeatable and scalable.
Python Libraries – Our in-house Python library enables rapid calculations, automated reporting, and cloud-based collaboration. All engineering projects at TWD use this platform.

Why Choose TWD Software?

Since 2015, we’ve evolved from spreadsheets to a fully integrated, Python-based engineering platform—enabling more powerful calculations, faster iterations, and browser-based tools that eliminate repetitive tasks. Our workflows now run centrally through the Jupyter platform, allowing engineers to script, validate, and report without the hassle of local installations.

We’ve extended automation into our design environment as well. From generating complete Inventor and AutoCAD models to deploying web-based tools via Autodesk Platform Services, we continuously optimise how engineers work. If you’re interested, you can find out more here.

By embedding automation into real-world workflows, we help engineers focus less on process and more on solving the challenges that matter. Get in touch to find out how we can deliver a bespoke automation solution tailored to your needs.
