DynamiT digital fishing gear simulation software
Main activity
This software works on Windows PCs. Having entered the detailed characteristics of an item of fishing gear (nets, long-lines), it simulates the item's behaviour under different stresses. The software is intended to help explore solutions for sustainable fishing.

Examples of work
DynamiT software, and in particular its most research-focused version, are used in many research projects. They were used during the 2007 fuel crisis to quickly find solutions for reducing energy consumption in the least efficient trawl nets, this project was undertaken jointly with the Comité Régional des Pêches et Elevages Marins (Regional Committee of Maritime Fisheries and Marine Fish Farming). It is also typically used to reduce the impact of towed gear on the sea floor. The Optipeche project illustrates this. The software has also been used to study scientific trawl net designs with better geometric stability.
